The Drunkard is a Thai/American newspaper, which suffers under the editorship of Vincent Garibaldi.

Its primary focuses are economics, politics, Michael Lewis, pointless thinking out load, and general silliness. It often features pictures of scantily clad young ladies, and excessive profanity. The latter having earned its editor-in-chief 4.5 forfeit points to date.

Selected Articles

The Invisible Hand

The first article. Explaining just how "Wellness" could sell 10 wellness for under 10 USD, at that time less than the cost of gifts in the US. Set the standard for readership of future articles.

Puts hair on your chest

The first proposal for "War Games", which no one read.

International Markets

The first attempt to start something similar to ereptools. It failed miserably, though.

So you think we should tax raw materials

An explanation of why high import taxes on raw materials would actually hurt the economy.

America, it's time for us to step up

A call for political reform.

Wasted time, wasted tax dollars, and the most useless industry.

An article revealing the utter uselessness of Defense Systems, unless they're used as a stalling tactic, or the defending nation plans on losing the region anyway.

A practical and easy way to implement bankruptcy

The title pretty much covers it, a suggestion to the admins.

I am sick and tired of the Motha******* Snakes in this Motha******* Game!

Special Guest article by Samuel L. Jackson, on the gold bug used in Sardinia. Received over 500 votes, and was the first, and so far only, article in The Drunkard to reach the top 5 international page. Deleted by the admins for profanity, despite the fact that there was not a single swearword in it.

Readership

Despite 100 subscribers, seemingly none.
