About the Author

Bio: Believe it or not, the most asked question from some of our baffled readers is: “Is this for real?” Hmm, let’s see, the subtitle to this award-winning online magazine is “Tasteless American Satire for the Ill-Informed.” If that doesn’t tip you off, then I will admit it: The articles are 100% made-up, but the satire behind them is as real as John McCain’s confusion about shiites and sunnis. The Skunk is an equal-opportunity offender. Okay, maybe we’re a little heavier handed with the Republicans, but nobody escapes the clutches of a motivated humorist. If one of the articles makes you laugh like a silly school girl or angers you like Bill Clinton on a press junket, I take full credit or blame, as I single-handedly write everything you see in this site, much to the distress of my parents, who wanted me to be a tap-dancer (or was it lap-dancer?)
