Well, some is revealed. Here, then, are the answers to some of the questions you had for F.A. I may get to more of ‘em sometime soon, so keep ‘em coming.

Q. Where do you get your ideas?
A. Ideas are inevitable when you’re subjected to as much nearly-useless raw material (commonly known as “news”) as I am. It was about a year ago when I realized that in preparing for tapings of “Wait Wait”, I required a place where I could offload some of the excess. Yes, that makes this place sort of a waste dump. But as waste dumps go, you have to admit, it’s pretrty nice.

Q. With so much to parody every day, how do you manage to limit yourself to one post a day?
A. Back in 1999, I could’ve made an IPO with just this site’s content. The business plan would have read, “Step 1: Post funny things on web. Step 2: Construct proprietary satirical content-based dynamic info-rich meta-environment (i.e. “post funny things on the web”). Step 3: Earn billions of dollars from Steps 1 and 2.” Then I could’ve sold the company a few weeks later for heaps of cash.
As things stand today, I need to work for a living, generating the “old media” content that seemed so boring a few years ago.

Q. Have you heard anything from AnShell Media?
Yes, and they’ve expressed some tentative interest. AnShell, for those new to the site, is the new liberal radio network, still in the planning stages. I believe I might’ve mentioned them in passing, once. They’re aware of me, but probably need to be made more aware.

Clay Aiken or Ruben Studdard?
A. Ruben Studdard, by a country mile. But there may be an outrage in the offing, folks. As much as I make it a point to support our troops, there’s a marine amongst the final four American Idol contestants - Joshua Gracin, who is a musical abomination. Say what you will about this guy, but he sings like Helen Keller. Many musicians who heard him attempt Kool & the Gang’s “Celebration” a few weeks back are still undergoing treatment. If he wins, if “Joshua Gracin - Singin’ About America” hits music stores at this time next year, then the terrorists will truly… laugh.

Q. What is the approximate size of the regular FA readership?
A. It’s hard say - tracking hits is an inexact science, and I get contradictory information from my various counters. As near as I can divine, however, I’d say I get between 2,000 and 5,000 unique readers each week. Possibly more. Or maybe it’s just my mom.

Q. How do you choose [your daily topic]? Is this part of the training to “stay on message” when you run for president?
A. Absolutely. According to the research of my exploratory committee, 89% of Americans can process exactly one message per candidate per day. And 75% of those can only handle said message if it is the exact same message as the day before. And when they say “message,” my staff is apparently referring to a unique sequence of words; Americans won’t necessarily draw a connection between, for example, “tax cuts” and “cutting taxes,” so the text of one’s message must be chosen carefully and thereupon adhered to with absolute fidelity. Viewed over the long haul, therefore, a good Presidential campaign looks a lot like autism. So that’s the type of campaign I intend to run. And that’s the type of campaign I intend to run, because that’s the type of campaign I intend to run.
