Issue: February 10, 2011
Hi everybody,
I'd like to start out this week's newsletter introduction with my favorite quote from the newspaper this week: "We've found more of a love of humanity with this project," says Kevin Fredericks, "though we still want to f*ck with people. I don't like pissing people off, but I like finding the line of what annoys people and pressing on it. It's more fun if people are trying to figure out if they should be pissed off or not." Please note, I put the asterisk in that particular word because I didn't want to irritate anyone who'd never seen the word in this newsletter intro. It's a bad word. Anyway, I think Fredericks said a mouthful. Feel free to click the links below for a tasty sample of what our newspaper has on its plate, but don't forget to pick up a newsprint newspaper for exclusive columns and cartoons--you've got to check out what Rob Brezsny says about Aries. And, as always, thanks for reading our newspaper; if not for you, we'd have to pay the piper.
Love and kisses,
Brian
