Political Humor by Radioactive Liberty is proud to announce its monthly, right leaning, political humor writer’s contest, which started today, or yesterday, or whenever this gets posted.

You are vying for the honor of having your work published at Political Humor by Radioactive Liberty for all to critique. The idea is to give those without a blog, a chance to see their hard work torn to shreds by the sniveling cowards who didn’t enter.

The contest is absolutely free and prizes barely exceed the entry fee. Hey, you get what you pay for.

Each month a new topic will be announced. Entrants may tender multiple submissions.

For further information and contest rules please visit the political humor writers contest page. You will also find the link in the navigation bar at the top of the page. The url is http://radioactiveliberty.com/writers-contest/

Why are you still here?  The first topic awaits.

Editorial Note from Fiar: Although the contest is not currently open to bloggers, non-blog owning frequent commenters are permitted to enter. (This would be a good time for frequent commenter RichJ to delete another blog to be compliant with the rules).

We would greatly appreciate the efforts of any bloggers who help publicize the event. You’ll probably want to offer your readers some good reasons why it’s desireable to be published on Political Humor by Radioactive Liberty, so here goes.

Political Humor by Radioactive Liberty ranks on the front page of Google for conservative political humor, and ranks on the top two pages for dozens of related terms, such as conservative satire, political humor, John McCain political jokes, global warming satire, obama 58 states, and too many others to list them all.

We also rank on the front page of the prestigious Humor-Blogs.com directory, and receive consistent traffic from StumbleUpon and other social media outlets. Needless to say, the winning entry will reach a large and highly targeted audience.

Enough of the sales copy. Spread the word or the terrorist win.
PS – Happy Independence Day

We here at Political Humor by Radioactive Liberty strive to bring you the best political analysis that our collective, and vastly superior minds can bring. As a result, the logical thing to do is to compress the opinions of all 3 of our contributors into one, single, superconcentrated dose of conservative opinion.

We will be bringing this feature on a weekly basis. All participants will get about 50 or 60 words each. Please use as directed, consult your physician if you suffer from heart conditions, or suffer abdominal pain. Normal side effects include dizziness, nausea, and rectal bleeding. This week we cover:

McCain’s New Epiphany on Global Warming/Climate Change

Chris: Is McCain still running as a Republican? I thought he might have joined some hippie third party after hearing that speech. Or Al Gore hooked him up with some cash. If he doesn’t win the general election he gets my vote for Most Pandering Politician of 2008.

Fiar: First, there is no need for a dirty hippie third party. They already have the Democrats. Second, McCain is a maverick. A man of principle, who is unafraid to oppose the conservative base. Even if it’s on every, single, solitary issue. I will welcome our fourth straight Democrat President in November. Whomever that may be.

Les: Maverick, huh. Which definition fits best?

• A Marvel Comic’s Super Hero? Definitely not.
• An unbranded or feral bovine? Maybe.
• A roller coaster ride? Possibly.
• A former Senator who coined the word “Gobbledygook”? Getting warmer.
• A current Senator who use to be pro-choice? Bingo!

I have faith in an old man who can so deftly leap from bandwagon to bandwagon.

Humor-blogs.com did not consult their doctor first.

I’m pleased to announce that over the next 6 weeks, I’ll be publishing a series of essays by Les James. Les contacted me to see if I would be interested in publishing six somewhat related essays that he had written.

He calls the series “Proclamations from the Mountaintop.” I took a look, and liked what I saw.

He has a style that’s a little different from what many regular and recurring visitors here are used to. Chris and I tend to make quick, quippy observations about the most recent news, and current events. Les has more of a storytelling, long-form style. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Who are we to judge Les for his alternative lifestyle? He can’t help it. He was born that way.

Even though his style is different than the usual fare here at Political Humor by Radioactive Liberty, I found his essays to be entertaining and enjoyable. I hope you will savor his work as much as I did.

Les is new to the whole blogging/addicted to your own ego on the internet thing. I don’t know what plans he has after this series has concluded, but I wish him luck, and thank him for the contribution. With any luck, he’ll be joining us among the addicted masses.

I’ll now hand over the introduction to our new friend.

Meet the Author: Les James

Original Image: Misty Mountains by wit

Having climbed some of the world’s taller peaks, I have first hand experience in the effects of decreased atmospheric pressure. In short, it assures that not enough oxygen reaches your addled brain. I’m here to tell you that there is not a wise man to be found on top of any of those I’ve visited. I suspect the rest of the mountains are the same.

The series title should clue you in as to what to expect. I’ve never claimed to be wise or an expert – I’m very suspect of so called “experts.” Instead I consider myself to be a Subject Matter Advisor (SMA). As an SMA I absolve myself of all accountability. I just advise. You make up your own minds.

Isn’t that convenient for both of us?

So enough about me. What should you expect in tomorrow’s and future instalments? Well, they are designed to be controversial. The idea is to give my slightly tweaked vision of the world around us. They are intended to be fun, but with a ring of my idea of the truth. I may well take an opposing, or way out in left field view (no political witticism intended). Just to infuriate.

You should also know that I am not a linear thinker. So don’t expect a blow-by-blow accounting or an unswerving tale – I have a hard time staying on subject. I don’t do very good research. Nor do I spend a lot of time checking facts.

This stuff comes off the top of my head and is mostly opinion. Hmm, maybe I should have been a TV or newspaper reporter. So don’t go writing to the editor decrying my errors or omissions.

I do enjoy playing with words, and also revel in sarcastic, dark, and obscure humor. I take pleasure in poking fun at subjects that I believe need a good poking. I hope you do too.

Wow! I guess it still was all about me. Then again, what did you expect? That’s what happens when you give a person with an overly developed sense of self a keyboard and a forum. Anyway, let the good times roll!

I invite the Humor-Blogs.com prowlers to welcome Les to the site.
