NOTE: The following light-hearted banter and smarty-pants badinage contains one or two important points. Please take a few moments to read this.
 
GENERAL
This site is a satirical and parodic commentary on the American political and social scene, and associated events and concerns. It's primary focus  — one hesitates to say "targets", given the inclinations of certain NRA and militia members — are all public figures assigned under what I like to think of as the "fair game" rule. Any other inadvertent use of real names is — like much of life — either accidental or a horrible coincidence.
 
NOMENCLATURE AND REFERENCE
This site and its publishing entity are variously referred to as:
W ...From the heart of the Phantom Presidency
W :The Phantom Presidency
The W Collection
The W Collection, a new home for the disgruntled ,
or,
The WC (Yes, yes. very funny)
 
COPYRIGHT
The above nomenclature, as well as the entire contents of this site, including all text, graphics, code and other elements (in other words, everything) are    © Copyright 2001 by Hank Blakely - isn't it nice to know whom to blame?
 
COLLATERAL ASSOCIATIONS
This site does not carry any advertising. Thus it is - with the possible exception of a few scattered tar-paper shacks in Michigan's Upper Peninsula - the only public venue in America left to make this assertion.
 
REPRINTS AND EXCERPTS
Someday all of this will be different. Someday this will be the core of a vast, megalithic e-publishing empire, spanning the globe and the length and breadth of the Internet; as familiar to the earth's inhabitants as Mickey Mouse or salmonella. When that happens, the rate for reprints will be $US 500,000 per word. Until then it's pretty much free. I do ask (and here's one of those important points I mentioned earlier) that you notify me if you plan to use more than 50 words from any single piece. This policy applies only to one-time reprints . For any other usage, please request written permission, and give me a chance to catch my breath.
 
If you must steal any of the material on this site, please try to be a huge publishing superpower with bad legal representation.
 
REQUESTS FOR PRINT OR ONLINE SYNDICATION
Please contact me immediately. If I am in the operating room at the time, please ask the surgeon to stop and hand me the telephone.
 
LICENSING AND COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS
Get serious. But, if you are entertaining such thoughts, and they come to fruition, please know that you will immediately become my new best friend, and will be granted sole proprietary rights to my next first-born.
 
I hope this settlements these matters.
