Cipriano takes day job seriously
You may have noticed that all we talk about at AmericanMadness is stupid political stuff that will have no impact whatsoever on our daily lives.
For news of immediate usefulness, such as liquor reviews, we always turned to Matt Cipriano (pictured here with the kind of facial hair that was characteristic of famous British murderers).
Recently, Mr. Cipriano, a founding editor of this august publication, was promoted to head of the Spiny Zebrafish Institute of Bureaucratic Infighting at a large private educational institution based in lower-middle Manhattan not named FIT, Parsons, SVA, or Pace.
In his new role, Cipriano has no time to write for AmericanMadness because he is too busy wreaking havoc in the lives of graduate Spinology students, a role unquestionably more influential than critiquing gin for our 25 readers.
Cipriano recently told me that he might even go off and not write for his own blog rather than continue to not write for this one, a prospect I find chilling.
I think we should all have a show of support, something like a round of clapping for Tinkerbell, that will bring Matt out from his windowless office and back into the loving arms of the blogosphere.
Feel free to share a memory or say some kind words in the comments, and to then slightly alter those words and repost them under a different name.

i’ve noticed a lack of matt recently, but don’t mind it if it means you’ll keep writing posts like this one, josh. your wit is simply sparkling!

Take his day job seriously? Not at all. We’ve banished Matt from posting due to his refusal to take a side in the great AM political debate.
See you in November Cippy!

Without Matt, I’ve had to rely only upon my sense of adventure, and lack of taste, to consume alcohol brands with large marketing budgets. If only Matt would come back, and spare me the shock of blandness the latest brand of vodka promises.

I am surprised! It was my understanding that membership in this organization required the taking of a blood oath by candlelight and did not allow for ever leaving. How can he leave with all his knowledge about American Madness. It can’t be allowed. He must continue to contribute albeit irregularly.

Ah Joel, you weren’t supposed to tell anyone about the blood oath!
Great, now we gotta come up with something else.
Everyone, secret meeting at the Bat Cave this Sunday to re-ring the circle. Remember, bring turnips. Scott’s the new guy, so he’s responsible for paper plates.
