 According to Alexa, a fine company among the Amazon constellation of companies, IRREVERENT is ranked 4,150,370th in the WORLD for web traffic. This impressive showing compares to a ranking of 2,052nd for
The ONION, a mere 202,259.7% better ranking. So for all you
naysayers and choose-up-siders I say, HA! And HA HA HA!!
We're on our way!
Lest ye think this is a undeservedly upbeat message for a drunk guy
with a fuck you shirt and foam on his head, you clearly don't know us
here at the zine. We've been doing this for a long long time, making you laugh, we have. Oh yes. Ever since we were ranked 5,711,421st in fact. Baby, we've come a long, long way!

It was no surprise to me that high school students recently questioned
about the first amendment failed worse than a Halliburton sewer
system. Not only did they not understand the protection it offers them
as Americans nor appreciate the sacrifices that were made to gather it,
they also didn't mind losing it. This came as a shock to many in the
media, but not to me. Why? Well, who cares about losing something you
have no use for in the first place? Who'd even miss it? |

Recently there was a great piece in the über-conservative National Review Online
cautiously celebrating the recent shakeup in the AFL-CIO, equating
workers inability to collectively bargain with employers as a blow for
"freedom" itself ("What About the Members?", August 08, 2005).
The bizarre conclusion (freedom for whom?) is reached -- in typical
conservative fashion -- by assuming its truth from the beginning,
which is much faster than proving it or something. |

Every now and then, as we crank out issue after issue for your unpaid
glee, I ask myself, "Why, why oh why, bro, do you keep publishing
IRREVERENT?" Sometimes one of the readers asks me. Sometimes a
writer. Truth is, I have no idea, but as near as I can tell we're
essentially an exercise in First Amendment protection. Barring that,
we're something more fun to do on the internet than watch the same
Jenna Jameson clips over, and over, and
over. Okay we don't actually contribute anything
(at all) to the Gross Domestic Product but we're not out there writing
"how-to" manuals for sheep fucking either. See what I mean about the
First Amendment? You can just tell that IRREVERENT is
exactly what Tommy Jefferson had floating around
his cerebellum back when men wore white wigs and were proud of it.

I really gotta stop looking for humorous inspiration in the news for my
column. Sure there are always funny bits in the news, some easier than
others, like Rush Limbaugh being outed as a drug abusing criminal, but
more often than not it's just not very funny. Today, for example, John
Walton, the heir to the Wal-Mart billions -- the 11th richest person on
the planet earth, according to the Forbes 100 -- died in a plane
crash. That's just not funny. Granted it's odd, but not a
knee-slapper, unless you're the next BTK killer, in which case I'd
really rather you go visit a different website, despite the fact that
we seem to discuss psychopaths and social deviants a bit more than the
average humor zine.
