Hello and welcome to the Poor Man's Blanket. I'm your man behind the desk, PencilPal.

I have had a pretty crappy day. I've been up since 5:30 and just got into the house around 7. Since then, I've been pretty much working on homework and eating dinner. This is a study break. Predictably, this article might not be my most intelligent or coherent. If it ever looks like my quality is slipping, write me a polite note in the comments, unsubscribe, and shove it up your butt. (Okay, I might have caught the office as well.)

On to the news!

For this next moment, I'd like you to consider a failed rocket-launch. For a moment, everyone was all excited and hopeful for the future. Then things went disastrously wrong. Most people looked away, but there were a few who couldn't tear their eyes away from the tragedy unfolding in front of them. Nowadays, the launch is a well known disaster, but it's impolite to bring it up in public conversation. Some of you are nodding, having figured out what I possibly wished to describe with this analogy: this paper.

This is the paper that peaked in its first article and reached its lowest in the article announcing my congressional candidacy. Obviously, if I lived in some bizarro backwards world, this would be seen as success. I, as well as many others, had high hopes for this paper, and it seems like the PMB will never reach those goals. So I am announcing something important to my readers: I will continue making articles. Probably until I die. It doesn't matter how bad these articles get or how few people read them. I will continue them until hell freezes over or the 'Skins win a Superbowl (AKA NEVER).

Is this really a political debate or analysis? Probably not.

I subscribed, I don't remember when, probably with your first article. I try to check all of the media everyday and read everything you write, even if I don't always comment. I don't think that I've ever read one of your articles and not voted on it, you're that good.

Don't be a wet blanket! 😛😛

I vote your articles before I read them. That's how good you are.
