A Blast From The Oh-So-Year-2000 Past

I'm giving some serious throught to closing out the Presidential Primary Matchup Poll on Saturday morning. We're up to 9 responses as of the present time, four of which are actually pretty funny. I realize that presidential primary politics can be somewhat dry and inaccessible, so I appreciate those who've taken the time to respond. For my next poll, I'll be sure to do something like "80's hair metal bands vs. 00's nu-metal bands" or something pop-cultural like that.

As we count down the hours, I invite everyone to enjoy some content from my past. Back in the day, before the 2000 presidential primaries, I used to write the occasional piece for a great little web site called The Daily Instigator. Like most small humor sites of that day, it was under-powered, under-funded and light on content, but we had big aspirations. Then Mike had, like, nine more kids or something like that and moved to Maine and the D.I. went the way of Bryan Adams's high school band in Summer of '69.

We did some great work while it was working. Here's a piece I wrote suggesting some new campaign planks for then-candidate Steve Forbes.
