Hi,
I see that Thunder Sandwich is mentioned there. I thought that Jim C. got out of the poetry business after comments like this (from a mass e-mail that he sent out):
"I'm just sick of being plastered by ranting from moonbats who couldn't find their fucking asses with both hands. I know, it's cool to be a liberal activist--I used to be one too, when I was a dumbass kid and didn't know better. But I came to realize that the real world was a whole lot different from all that phony idealist shit. I want every one of you liberal cocksuckers to delete me from your mailing lists"
and:
"Take all your silly ass conspiracy theories and Halliburton nightmares over to Kos or MoveOn, where likeminded idiots will appreciate it. But don't fuck with this hillbilly anymore. Jim Chandler"
This was about 6 months after he told me, via e-mail, in no uncertain terms, to not e-mail him with any of my announcements and remove him off of my "spam" list. Ben Hiatt was another one who really went from being liberals to being very, very angry war-loving neocons. Strange really.
But back to the point, I think that he shut Thunder Sandwich down when there was a lack of decent poetry about Jesus, War, Guns, & Lower taxes for the wealthy. Plus, he seems to have a way of rejecting people whose writing he does not like by insulting them. A real winner...
Sorry to take this off topic and apologies if this guy is a friend to anyone here.
Bill
