wanted: liberal pundits

my goal:
to put together a political commentary website for the purpose of lampooning, denigrating, chastising, castigating, and defaming conservatives and their ill-mannered rhetoric. in a most ill-mannered way, of course.

secondary purpose:
a possible leftist think tank with a messageboard, most likely phpBB2.

tertiary (that means third) purpose:
to get into trouble with John Ashcroft. it ain’t a party til something (or someone) gets busted up, ya know.

you must be:
opinionated, thoughtful, funny, and passionate (yet mature – outbursts are welcome; too much cursing is not, if only because we’ll no doubt get taken far less seriously). and, obviously, you must have lefty/green tendencies. libertarians also welcome, just leave your goddamn boomsticks at the door, for the love of fuck (but do bring common sense; it’s not your “right” to dump unused motor oil down the gullets of beached whales). subversive types extremely welcome. also outright anarchists, if you can follow the advice given to the libertarians.

the setting:
i plan on using b2evolution, a massively upgraded version of the blogging software i use on my own blog. this requires paid web hosting, plus a clever domain name, and you know what that means. i can easily find decent hosting for around $50/year (give or take), so the more, the merrier (if uh, you know what i mean).

pay:
none, unless anyone involved can score us some advertisers. but hey: no guts, no glory.

to apply:
inquire within. please provide samples via link or cut-n-paste. (_hellion need not provide samples, as he is the exemplification of excellent political blogging. see also Tom Tomorrow and Bob Harris for excellent commentary.)
