Saturday, April 10, 2010. Sharpening the Point of Political Satire. I stumbled across an interesting little insight in an unlikely place - the Q&A section of Paul Farhi's pop culture column. For the Washington Post. Question from a reader:. Reportedly Tina Fey will reprise her wildly-popular Sarah Palin impression when Tina hosts SNL this weekend. Which Sarah do you think we'll see depicted- the Fox, tea party cheerleader or TLC version? Should stress that this TLC is not short for Tender Loving Care).

Wednesday, November 11, 2009. Remembrance of websites past (Part 5: Rant Morgan). The internet is a great place to learn how to do things.

Claiming an improbable range of experiences, Rant's advice was utterly off the cuff, and sometimes even unsuccessful, as when the monkey he ostensibly trains has an unfortunate encounter with a bus:.

Friday, October 30, 2009. Remembrance of websites past (Part 3: The Slingshot). In the past seven years I've looked at a lot. Of humor sites. I run a humor site. There are plenty that I admire, return to, chuckle at. But of all these sites, only two have made me laugh out loud virtually every time I visit. (Which means reading them at work is very hazardous.) One of these is the late, totally under-appreciated, and utterly brilliant Slin. Life - clearly had access to a huge pile of authentic period mater...

Sunday, November 08, 2009. Remembrance of websites past (Part 4: Dead Bodies, Inc.).

Monday, October 26, 2009. Remembrance of websites past (Part 1: Broken Newz). Some sites settle into a quasi-retirement, with less frequent posts. Some are simply left as is, their creators moving on to different things. But let's face it: maintaining a website costs money, even if you're not doing anything. Not everyone wants to pay bandwidth fees indefinitely for a project that occupied their attention for a few months in 2003-4. Was a pioneering site founded in 2001 by Bill Doty. Without Bill Doty, an...

Tuesday, October 27, 2009. Remembrance of websites past (Part 2: Trepanning). We continue our reminiscing this week with one of the oddest sites it was our pleasure to visit. Cornish village "so remote it is on its own outskirts," was largely the brainchild of British humor writer Ian Vince. He had a collaborator but, forgive me, I can't remember his name.) Ian went on to win the Channel 4 comedy circuit competition. For another website, the inscrutable Department of Social Scrutiny. Editors at 1:02 PM.
