SHECKYmagazine Editor in D.C. Examiner

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on February 25th, 2005

Never too late for a delayed blow of one’s own horn: SHECKYmagazine.com Editor Brian McKim appears on the Op-Ed page of the brand new Washington Examiner. The piece, a breezy, wiseacre screed all about how politicians should stay away from cracking jokes and how standup comics shouldn’t take themselves too seriously, ran Tuesday. The Examiner is a new daily, launched a couple weeks ago by billionaire Phil Anschutz. Anschutz is in the news a lot these days as he bankrolled the recently-released “Because of Winn Dixie” and he also put the jack up for “Ray.” He also owns a professional sports franchise or two as well as a chain of movie theaters. The plan is for the Examiner to go up against the stuffy old Washington Post and the Times with a free, ad-supported tab. (It’s a trend, don’t you know.) Stay tuned.
