Wesley’s Cracked Social View

What’s that, do you hear it? Could it be? Has my day of days come? Has Wesley finally cracked under the pressure of his meanial work load. You can’t burn the candle at both ends for very long. The daft fool can’t even handle two classes, in the summer time, work, and ANF. HA Ha, fight fans, it appears that the writer who has it all, in actually, lacks it all.

Wesley has proven to be a miserly, self righteous hoodlum who can’t take the heat. Some one among us, namely the mass intelligence being known as SUPERMEGA FANBOY, has known Wesley can’t cut the mustard, ketchup, or relish. The backwards hick probably doesn’t even know what a condiment is.

Though in his time of darkness, I, SuperMega FanBoy, have to take up the slack. If I take no action now, then I shall have nothing to bitch about in the future. I want you all to take that down as a note:

The reason Fanboys exist is to further the future of their disdain.

Now for today’s Websites that are better than ANF. Now that I think about it, I should rename this article to “Better than ANF: when Wesley is in control of it. Fore when in the hands of Supermega Fanboy, American NonFiction forms like Voltron into a super beast of literary brilliance. I know you can feel the power.

In the further examination of the many merits better displayed else where in the binary, we shall dedicate this article to Wesley’s favorite topic of “Political Subversion.” With the ANF article “Sam’s Your Uncle”, written as he cowers behind the mask of Uncle Sam, Wesley dictates his political views upon the masses. In “American NonFictions” He tries to explain the world around you. While the give it the old college try (take that you bastard), there are a plethra of websites who are worth their weight.

Crooks and Liars

While American NonFiction may not be a website with enough balls to call itself a blog, Crooks and Liars makes the claim, if not begrudgingly, with their tag line “John Amato’s virtual online magazine…OK, It’s a blog!”.

Crooks and Liars is it’s name sake. There are few places on the web to keep up to date with national crooks and Liars, can you believe it is a political online magazine? Witty, irreverent, and a great source to keep you up to date on the issues that may matter most.

The Smirking Chimp

Matt Taibbi has been compared as the modern day Hunter S. Thompson, a media fueled comparison that most likely bother the shit out of him. We reprint it here as a good nature needling to an author and journalist whom we, here at ANF, are big fans of. Mr. Taibbi has founded more than a few independent presses, all around the world, and was even kicked out of Russia, after his article was critical of the ruler. When Mr. Taibbi places his words somewhere then the avenue is worth looking into.

The Smirking Chimp “Ask not at whom the chimp smirks- he smirks at you.” is where Mr. Taibbi hangs his binary hat, and after you read a couple post, you will know why. From sources all over the binary world, Smirking Chimp complies a front page full of articles you want to read. From the latest updates, before the MAN gets a chance to censor, to op ed pieces from today most brilliant minds, did we mention Matt Taibbi?, Smirking Chimp is a must read resource for the vocal rebellion.

The Economist.com

If there is ever to be a social rebellion then the leaders of such a rebellion will have to have a firm understanding to the financial world. Luckily, the financial world is a hot topic and there are more than a few publications on the topic. The cream of the crop is the Economist and it has become the standard by which others rank themselves.

The modern day rebel might do well to take their noses out of the newest issue of Vice and give Economist.com a look over. If Johnny Rotten, Jello Biafra, and NOFX had no understanding of the financial world, they would no be able to survive in Today’s market as independent musicians. I even think a subscription for the Economist might be on Wesley’s Birthday list.

Stay Informed

While Wesley whittles away his hours before a major breakdown, take this laps in ANF post to get informed from some binary sources. Even if you are to add, and not supplement, your readership with American NonFiction, your world will have a better defined social view of the Liars and Crooks through the eyes of the Smirking Chimp and you be able to reign your future with a solid foundation in the Economist perspective.

    I love economist.com because it’s the perfect place to procrastinate without feeling like you’re actually wasting your time.

    (Or maybe that makes it the ultimate spawn of the devil, I’m not sure.)

    And unfortunately for Supermega Fanboy, I happen to know that Wesley is very familiar with condiments. And is handling the pressure of his insane schedule beautifully. One should never bet against that New Hampshire boy.

    Just when you count him down, he comes through in spades. Quite a guy.
