    Watch out now! Congrats man, you've truly earned it!

    HOLY SHIT! Congratulations! I thought they had a moratorium on melanin over at The Onion. I mean, the last time I saw a picture of their editorial group it was seriously melanin-challenged. Funny, but melanin-challenged nonetheless. That said ... ahem ... I'M SO FUCKING JEALOUS!

    There. Now I feel better. It's all about me :D

    Congrats on getting called up to The Show. I remember way back in '01, we were at the Modern Humorist workshop and one of the editors from The Onion came by and talked about her gig. Now here you are. Good for you.

    Hey Baratunde, It's been a pleasure following your work all these years, and I want to add my congratulations on your new gig! The more people who know about Baratunde, the better it will be for this great land of ours!

    What terrific news, and a smart move by The Onion. Big congrats! I believe this good fortune was all set in motion when you took the time for an Audio Pod Chronicles interview! :-)

    Baratunde,

    Congrats on the position at Onion. Nice work!

    Hey, do you happen to know any good freelance comedy writers? I'm a comedy ventriloquist and need to find someone who can help me write material for one of my sidekicks (his sense of humor/personality is very different from mine...so it's very hard to write hilarious comedy for him).

    If you know anyone, please forward my e-mail address
    corporate.shows(at)gmail.com

    Thanks in advance and enjoy your position!

    Hey B,
    Congrats! I write freelance for the ONN and I curate and host a stand-up show every other Monday in Ochi's Lounge@Comix so if you ever need to work out some shiznit, lemme know! Welcome to scenic Soho, yo.

    Peace and Carats,
    BR

    I plan to continue using my own voice to maintain the Baratunde enterprise. This means I’ll keep doing standup and blogging for Jack & Jill Politics, my own site and occasionally Huffington Post, plus writing for The Weekly Dig. I also plan to continue contributing actively to The Black Comedy Project.

    Thanks and Regards
