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.

Welcome aboard Les.
Can’t wait to read your first post tommorow.
You’ll like writing here Les. FIAR is an awesome editor with a real eye for promotion. I’ve been here since September doing my weekly Thursday gig and it’s one of my favorite columns to write every week.

Mmmmm, fresh meat.
Umm, welcome.

This is the stuff I write. All original and created by me. I use satire, intelligence, wit. plays on words and double entrende.
Would you have a spot for me to post?
sample:
FooxNews “great” reporting…
The U.S. MAY have a high value terrorist target,
He MAY be at Gitmo,
Knowing that info helps whom? Whose boots is Foox trying to lick?
This Election cycle…
The question is not what party do you favor ?
The only winner from this election will be the Liberal party,
The biggest losers will be citizens, voters and taxpayers.
Jerkeley, CA dislikes U.S. Marines…
From Iraq, we should send them 100 Terrorists,
let them televise decapitations, torture, mayhem and destruction,
The Jerkeley City Council would beg for Marines, if any council member were still alive.
“Ted Kennedy Dumps Fuel into Nantucket Sound”…
In doing so, he has earned the title ”Senile Senator from Assa”.
He forgot about his “emotional enviormentalism” and laws that prevent toxic waste dumping in Ocean enviorments.
US Constitution Article 4…
SECTION. 4. The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
Pratical Question…
How can the states be protected from Invasion without the Armed Forces?
Should citizens be issued sling shots?
Niche Marketing…
A large domestic financial card maker is hitting a specific population,
their new product is called an “open bum” card,
guess what group it is aimed at.
NPR/pBS…
Their views are controversial, so is their public funding,
Tax monies belong elsewhere, let them be funded by their audience.
Shameless Shillary in that White Building:
Another 3 am phone call…
At least she was in bed alone,
female private secretary and female intern of the week were excluded from the ad.
Assuming George III [W] is literate…
How much money is he being paid and by whom to leave the Southern border of the US open?
Could it just be Mexico,Saudia Arabia, or is the UN involved also?
What is causing him to shirk mandatory Constitutional responsibility.
The meaning of AP…
You think Associated Press is the answer,
It can also be Asinine Perspective, both are interchangeable,
Reporters should be called “Illusionists”,and/or “Distorters”.
Hillary Rotten Clinton…
The most popular National Socialist since Adolph Hitler!
WW II was fought because this option is NOT a “Solution for
America”.
Obama’s “Pasture”…
In this country, any fool can call himself a Pasture,
he has now been put out to one, where he belongs,
a “minister” so full of love, joy, peace.
“House Creates Much Needed Ethics Panel”
Speaker Pelosi’s Office says, Rep. Barney Franks will chair the committee.
RSVP.
Thank you fr your time,
Eddie

“I take pleasure in………… a good poking. I hope you do too.”
Great. Now this place will become a prOn blog. I’m cool with that. Just don’t post any homo stuff. Unless it’s girl on girl. That’s hot.

Drunk Driving accidents kill 17,000 people a year…
“Duh Media” forgets to mention this or any other statistical data,
The only figure is the number killed and wounded in Iraq,
If we bring the troops home from Iraq, terrorists will not follow because they can’t fly airplanes: OOPS!
8 Fiar // Mar 19, 2008 at 9:20 am
Chris, Thanks for the kind words.
Edward, I’ll consider your offer. I’ll be in contact with you, but I need to think it over a bit at the current time.
RT, Fresh meat indeed. Bacon!®
Alex, I hope you enjoy it.
Rich, Good to see you around again Buddy. You know, when you talk about running around in your G-string banana hammock all the time, it only stands to reason that you would see Gay everywhere.

I wore out the man-g, just going al fresco now. Jeans with buttons, no zippers.

Clueless campaigning….
Obama says Al Queda [the base of the spine] in Afghanistan was the only problem,
thousands upon thousands of accidental deaths worldwide have been mistakenly credited to this fundamental religious sect.
What Rights?
Illegal immigrants are being advised to remain silent to protect “their rights”
Where do these “rights” come from? What are they?
Dumbocretins are the masters…
of Whigmaleeries and pompous, ego inflating ceremonialism,
Obama-Clinton; Clinton-Obama ticket…
What a deal,
Two losers for 1 vote.
“Fairness Doctrine” for TV…
All of the Jack Asses [dumbocretins] have to wear,
large jack Ass ears to shatter the illusion of objectivity.
“Presidential Dumbocretins Debate”…
should really be called “candidate interviews”
Both have positions so similar, there isn’t much to talk about.
Iran calls new UN sanctions `worthless’,
that is one correct answer, 999 incorrect answers;
no matter how idiotic or misinformed, accidents happen.
Better Campaign slogan…
“Solutions for America” is a generous stretch of the truth,
“Delusions for America” or illusions is more accurate and concise.
NBC casts ex-POW Arizona senator as murdering cannibal-
Could you even comprehend the lawsuits and arm breakers and worse,
that would have been turned loose, if the subject was the Gov. of
Arkansas and this was released during his candidacy?

“Report: Alzheimer’s To Hit 1-In-8 Boomers”…
Sounds like a bunch of BS to me, so I wrote a lengthy, articulate reply,
by the time I was finished, couldn’t remember where I saw the article.
