Due to economic conditions, we’ve been forced to raise our price from free to gratis. We did everything we could to avoid it. But we really needed the gratis. Why? To pay for our new digs, of course! And the Jacuzzi. And the Mercedes. Plus, it’s just hard being funny all the time. Look at how miserably I’m failing now! Anyway, we have a great issue this month, with three newcomers we’re proud to bring into the fold. Brent Basham’s “Redneck Review” is guaranteed to keep all y’all laughin’; humor columnist Leeuna Foster debuts with a hilarious look at the fifties; and Tim Mollen contributes his unique “Lost Journal,” in which he documents his past as though it were the present. This month he records his birth. Yes, his birth. That’s exactly the kind of top-notch foolishness you get for gratis.
