We are pleased to announce that readership of Ron’s articles and satirical cartoons have surpassed 135,000 nationwide readers and continues to grow...
The main articles, An Open Letter (a commentary on premature political forecasting) and Silent Manifesto (The Pathetic Yelpings of a Delusional Misogynist), remain the leading two "5 Star Posts" in the Village Voice, Arts and Entertainment Forum of backpage.com
Silent Manifesto... addresses the increasing phenomenon of Internet Stalking, as it relates to the author’s personal account as the unwitting victim of an envious admirer.
