So Sayeth the Editor…
Filed under: Beak Affairs — Varius @ 12:00 am

We’ve relaunched! Most of the old stuff has been painstakingly backdated and archived by yours truly, using my staff’s names with… let’s call it “implied consent.”

From now on, our writers will be posting articles as they finish them, meaning they need no longer leave them in the hands of unreliable middlemen such as myself. Will this mean more articles? Possibly. Less work? Not really. Less bullshit?

Almost certainly.

As is often the case with a transition like this, there are kinks to be ironed out, and material that did not make it through. Fortunately, I have copies of everything in my extensive archives, right next to the porn and downloaded “Family Guy” episodes. Over the next few weeks, I plan to make all of it available in one format or another.

Have no fear if you can’t find your favorite article quite yet. All of it will return- the crackpot mysticism, the Book Club, the infamous 2004 Election Night coverage, everything. With any luck, it will return in a timely manner. In the meantime, you can now search the archives, which you gotta admit, is convenient.

So kick back, light up a cigar or three, and pray that the bloody thing works.

Cheers!
