I like that newspaper idea (and not just because you plugged our DC4D demonstration Thursday). Might have to try that myself if I can figure out the technology for doing this. I might like to try an Absurdist/Political webzine called, I think, “InsanityFuck.” It would have just the right mix of politics, news, factcheck, announcements and nonsense stories to appeal to everyone (everyone who matters).

I like it.
I know one of my ideas has been a daily political/pop culture under the title: “The Daily Screw.” “The Daily InsanityFuck” has a nice ring to it.

Not bad as a first effort. Not bad at all. I’ve seen way worse.

Much appreciated, Rox. I’ll keep plugging away at it.
