*soft music plays*

Spkr: Irresponsibility

Spkr: Costs you money

*Money flying out of windows*

Spkr: Akno21 proposed raising taxes by 150 billion dollars.

*Paycheck disappears*

Spkr: Without pausing to read the fine print.

*Idiot hits himself on the head*

Spkr: Turns out...

Spkr: The program didn't cost anywhere near that much.

*Idiot hits himself again*

Spkr: Akno wanted to raise your taxes...

Spkr: Without ANY good reason.

*Idiot hits himself with a bat*

Spkr: Don't Let him try to again

Spkr: Vote Bono for District Two




Spkr: HE won't do that to you.

Is this a new ad, or a replacement for the old one?

Part of a series bringing up Akno's record of trying to raise taxes and then when he can't, shoving through billions in spending without doing anything to pay for it.

Joe you don't need to put out an article every time some little event happens. Publishing articles about every ad and every small speech and every even in Atlasia would be like the USA Today publishing a story on every fire in America that day. My advice, report on the big stuff not the small stuff and editorialize every once and a while.

Colin, for the time being at least, I'm interested and enthusiastic about fantasy politics, and I want to report on things that I think are interesting.  If that means updating every day, so be it.  If it means nobody reads my updates, so be it; I'm doing what I enjoy.

Second, I'm running a TV station.  I know its not really that, its a website, but I like the idea of running campaign ads, just like the real networks.

I appreciate the advice because I respect you and your newspaper.  But please let me carry on with what I'm doing for now.  When I eventually start to lose interest, then perhaps I'll take your view.

Well sure. But take my advice and do editorials,  or have pundits on your "TV" network, it adds another demension to the news.
