Here's a big howdy from Helen & Harry, and from Mr. P, the cat. If this is your first visit (or your fiftieth or five-hundredth) we're happy you're here. I'm Helen, and this is my husband Harry. Pleased to meet ya.
We think of this website as part of our apartment -- it's not just our home page, it's our home. And you can stop by any time you like. You're invited to mingle, or just find a comfy spot on our cyber sofa and relax.
Over in the corner, some people are having a conversation, and if you have something to add, please don't be shy. Once in a while someone klangs a fork on their glass and has something to say. And of course, we're all following the news, wondering how bad it's got to get before people start saying NO.
Since 1999, we've been collecting "unknown news" from credible sources. We're amateur journalists, working on this
homemade website instead of a big-time newspaper. You don't
have to pay 50¢, you don't get lingerie ads, there's no sports section, and we can't match the
mainstream media's in-depth coverage of Lindsay Lohan's antics or Michael Jackson's nose.
Instead we cover a different beat: News that affects people's lives, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Pull up a chair and read all about it.
Unlike professional journalists, we won't pretend we have no opinions. Our slipper-wearin', coffee-drinkin' opinion is that America's so- called 'leaders' -- both Democrats and Republicans -- have provided no leadership at
all. Either that
or they're "leading" us somewhere no-one sane would want to go.
So take a look around, have some cheese puffs, shake some hands, make a few new friends. Stay as long as you like, and feel free to come back any time you need a little shared sanity in a crazy world. Bring a friend next time -- we have plenty of chairs!
If you're ever in a typative mood, we like 'listening'
almost as much as 'talking', and our email address is unknownnews at inbox.com.
We started this website out of frustration: We didn't know many people in the real world who were awake, so we crossed our fingers and opened our front door, so to speak, by putting the news (the way we see it) on-line. And once we did, some fascinating people walked in and helped us make the website better ... and those people invited a few more people ... and now, though we never expected it, a lot of people visit our apartment every day.
We really should vacuum the carpet more often.
But if you can stand the mess, please, come on in. Keep your feet off the couch and don't spit out the window, but other than that just make yourself at home. We welcome Democrats and Republicans, independents and codependents, libertarians and communists, anyone who believes in liberty and justice for all.
