At Satire on the Rocks, we aim to provide you, our cherished reader, with insight: mostly Midwestern, generally sarcastic, sometimes grating, almost always sound, at once disposable (this is the Internet) and yet compelling.  You will find this insight dealing with anything and everything, from American culture to sports to fiction.

This is YOUR site as much as it is ours, and we are nothing if not slaves to your attention spans.  We strive on a daily basis to provide you, the reader, with candy for your cerebellum, with interesting articles to peruse at your leisure and commentary that provides a welcome respite from “red” or “blue” opinions served up by the makeup-wearing buffoons and blowhards in the mainstream media.

It used to be simpler.  Now it can be.  Stick with us, and we will never steer you wrong.  You may disagree with what we say, but more often than not you’ll find yourself nodding, perhaps rubbing your chin, pursing your lips and thinking, “Excellent point.”  And, once in a while, you may even be entertained.

We are not bloggers here at Satire, no.  A blogger is someone who uses this revolutionary technology to talk shit about comic books, or movie stars, or what’s pissing him or her off these days, with writing on the level of a ten-year-old in the remedial English program of a terrible public school.  Little effort is made to elevate the form or to evince any time spent on the actually writing of opinions.  Why waste one’s time on things like complete sentences, or correct grammar, when there’s a perfectly good diatribe to vent to “the world”?

These are not the idle ramblings of a lonely hacker.  Instead, there are three of us, we are not particularly concerned with comic books or movie stars, and we will entertain you if it is the last thing we do.  Better still, college graduates!

If, perhaps, maybe, one day, you might like to post an article of YOUR OWN here at Satire, email us at satireontherocks@gmail.com and we will see what we can do.  Once or twice a week, we aim to let you, the people, contribute to this thing.  We are always on the lookout for entertaining minds hell-bent on making strangers chuckle and, per chance, finding greater understanding in a world that doesn’t give a shit. 

No, really, it doesn’t.  We might as well share some laughs while the whole damned carnival burns to the ground.  The Earth could swallow your family whole tomorrow, maybe there might be a telethon, and then all seven billion of the rest of us would find a way, somehow, to move on.  The whole big blue ball would keep spinning, I assure you.

So sit back, relax, read, and enjoy.  We love you for coming this far: go forth and explore our vast treasure trove of moderately to hilariously funny stories and middling to deeply insightful commentary.  All of this and more, available now, completely free, at Satire on the Rocks!
