Okay, forgive me, but this is just too cool to not share:

The magazine cover spoof I made for [url=http://flashbunny.org/content/hollywoodfpr.html]Hollywood Foreign Policy Review Magazine[/url] is shown in Wednesday's Opinion Journal, the online edition of the Wall Street Journal: [url]http://www.opinionjournal.com/la/?id=110003092[/url]

Plus, it should also be appearing in wednesday's print 'Arts & Leisure' Section of the Wall Street Journal as well. Which means I'll have to go out and buy the wall street journal for the first time ever. Over 1.8 million daily subscribers looking at something I made. Woohoo!

It isn't that bad of a newpaper...  Still trashy, but with a slightly larger vocabulary than the Star.

edit to add:

That's so sweet that you got published I've crapped my pants - and I'm still sitting in it!

Congratulations bastiat - I wish you could get some recognition out of it.

There's a link from the online story, so I'm getting some hits. The woman I was dealing with said she'd try to get a caption in on the print version.

This is one of the reasons I like doing the spoofs - it draws in people that wouldn't otherwise come to the site and they get to see the pro-rkba stuff. It's really nice to get an email from somebody who says "I came to your site because of X, and I've never thought about guns before, but you make some really convincing arguments for them." Drawing in fence sitters is cool.

And even though he won't print my articles [;)], check out US News and World Report.  The French Surrender Clock got a caricature nod from the John Leo column.

Dude's a celebrity.
Fame and Fortune ridiculing liberals.  That is the life, ain't it?

I saw that. Glad that this time they didn't use a picture with a fake copyright on it!

Went to the library and saw the wall street journal. The pic is on the back cover.

Congratulations.  It's a big day, indeed, when you're "published" in the WSJ.

bastiat,

Congratulations!  Your work is making the rounds too.  I got back to my office to find an email sent to me by one of my coworkers (who isn't on AR-15.com) of the French Soldier of Fortune magazine.  Good deal!
