Website Wednesdays: His Colorful Crayon

From Scott Shrake’s (GSAS’96) Huffington Post blog, to Rachel Goldberg’s (C’96) National Protrusion site, it seems like our alumni have much to say about today’s political climate.

And now it’s time to add another humorous political site from our alumni to the mix: Al Bingham’s (C’92, Mask and Wig, Philomathean Socitey, Friars) The Purple Crayon.

Per Al, this site is all about “political humor that makes no distinction between Red State or Blue. The pen may be mightier than the sword but The Purple Crayon is more colorful.”

Some highlights of his site include:

• Passing the Clintons’ tests
• NYTimes Launches Missile: Navy Vet McCain Takes Out Satellite Lobbyist
• Purr-fect Storm: Socks the Cat Joins Growing List of Superdelegates to Endorse Obama

Apparently other media sources are reading Al’s blog. Per Al,

“I think the NYTimes is worth reading, especially the Caucus Blog. Also firstread.msnbc.com. Assuming you’re interested in politics, of course. If you’re not really interested in politics then you should check out The Huffington Post’s humor site 236.com (most of the news, some of the time) … especially on the days when they’re cross-posting libelous material from The Purple Crayon – my political humor blog – albingham.typepad.com. Apparently folks from Politico.com, CNN, MSNBC and a bunch of people in the House and Senate read The Purple Crayon from time to time… which is an indication of how low the media and politicians have sunk in the Stewart-Colbertian sense.”
