Great synopsis. I personally thought ‘Life of the Search Party’ was the best article from this issue, but that’s just me.

Thanks for doing what you do. I’m a big fan. 😊

Thank you so much! "Life of the Search Party" is really good. The Bush blog choice was definitely a personal preference, haha

I had forgotten about the Bush blog article. It's too bad they didn't throw together a fake website like they did for Jim Anchower and a couple of others. I'd be curious what would have been on his iPod (and on his blogroll). I also liked the portrayal of Bush as seeing himself as a rebel fighting the man. That persona came up again with the article about his pirate radio station, but I forget if there were any others.

PS: I imagine that Stan Kelly would have been at the Deadbeat Dads march.

My understanding from the internet archive's screenshots and a few 2004-era articles is that if you paid for Onion Premium back then, they had some sort of homepage/collection for the regular columnists. But I doubt they rose to the level of a full-on faux website, which would have been cool (although a LOT of work).
