Corpus Christi, TX February 4, 1998(spa) -- At a news conference today
Satirical Press Associates founder, publisher, owner, editor, lead
columnist
and chief cook and bottle washer Bob James officially announced that
he
was naming SPA the unofficial voice of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
"In these times, we can not wait for others to act, we must speak out
now if the VRWC is to have a voice. Since we have come under
attack
it is vital that we defend ourselves, deny the charges, and attack
the
Liberals at their own game. WE are that lonely voice, crying
in the
Wilderness. We are the spokesmen who will clarify and unite the
VRWC
as we seek to overthro...er bring strength to the American Government
System. Thus it is with great humility, that we accept this self-proclaimed
award." Following this announcement, James took questions...unscreened.
Q. Is there really a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy?
A. Yes, of course. Hillary said so.
Q. Is there a Vast Left Wing Conspiracy?
A. There was, but no longer?
Q. What happened to it?
A. When the USSR ceased to be a communist threat, the Vast Left
Wing
Conspiracy threat was reduced by 50%.
Thus it is now called the
Half-Vast Left Wing Conspiracy.
Q. Who is Bob James, the man behind the SPA.
A. Yes.
Q. No, I mean, tell me about yourself.
A. I'm just your typical, harmless crack-pot with an Internet
account and
too much time on his hands.
Q. Do you have any interns? Other staff?
A. No, this is all done by me. If others do contribute,
it is usually under
their request that they remain completely
anonymous.
Q. So, why are you the only one here today?
A. Do you think any reputable media outlet would cover a media
outlet/crack-pot that anounced that
it was officially claiming to be
the unofficial voice of the Vast Right
Wing Conspiracy?
Q. Aren't you really in it for the money?
A. HA HA HA HA HA HO HEE HA HEE HA Ha...oh, you really meant
that to be an honest question.
Yes, we are seeking investors.
Investors seeking the chance of a lifetime
are welcome to e-mail me for
information. However, preliminary
information you may need is that we
require a liquidity of $5,000,000 with
a minimum investment of $1,000,000.
Q. What do we get for that kind of investment?
A. First, the self satisfaction of knowing that the Vast
Right Wing
Conspiracy will continue
into the future. Second, you will get more and
more of these e-mails. (Unless,
of course, you send $2,000,000, in which
case we will take you off our
mailing list at your request.) Finally, you will
get the complete matching hat,
T-Shirt and keychain with the "I am the SPA:
the unofficial voice of the Vast
Right Wing Conspiracy" logo prominently
displayed. Oh, and we will
give you unlimited coffee at our contributor's
appreciation coffees to be held
in a smoke filled room near you. (We
will send the decoder ring secretly)
Q. Is it worthwhile?
A. No official member of the unofficial voice of the Vast
Right Wing
Conspiracy coffee club has ever
complained.
Q. Do you have any other paraphenalia available for your
fans?
A. Yes, our bumper sticker, "My parents joined the Vast
Right Wing
Conspiracy and all I got was this
lousy IRS Audit!" will be available
soon.
Q. Do you take advertising?
A. Yes. All advertisors will be screened carefully
in order to make sure
that their cash is green.
We promise to bring you no advertising unless
it is fully paid for.
Q. Will you take one last question?
A. Yes, and thank you for asking it. Good night.
