Against is a journal dedicated to defining American Political Culture, bearing witness to the absurd and making fun of France. Against is a collection of critical essays on or about American culture, politics and public imagination. Only what is deemed cool or important by a blessed few, gets attention, everything else gets pushed to the wayside. Photo essays, editorial commentary, and adventures in the City, with feature articles and reviews of restaurants, wines, CDs, and more, all from our unusual point of view. Mr. Slander pulls no punches in obliterating all things entertainment, from movies, TV, and computer games to celebrity profiles, music, sports, and politics.
Nothing is off limits.
The accumulated wisdom of one short life time, holding up a creatively distorted mirror to the images and ideas that come floating by. The monkey-mind set free, to swing from branch to branch, for amusement, exercise, and edification. Includes opportunities for audience response and participation. Joe Otterbein's blunt, unbiased and unconventional look at world, national and local news in the Baltimore MD and York PA areas. Dedicated to the search for truth unclouded by the whims of big-money media and inspired by the spirit of two of America's greatest journalists, H.L. Mencken and Nellie Bly.
