This month we unchained, er, gave our regular columnists some time off for vacation and devoted the issue to spotlighting new writers. By “new” we mean new to Foolish Times (or fairly new-four of these writers have published only once in our pages, the other ten are making their official debut). Many of these “new” writers have actually been writing for years and have published their work either in print or on the Internet (whatever that is-we keep meaning to look into it). One thing all of these writers have in common is a talent for making their readers laugh. That’s where you come into the picture, dear reader. Enjoy the issue, enjoy your July, and remember-light fuse and run away!
