My name is Bill, I’ve been a fan of political humor/satire for ages, and my intention as a Steemer is to create it and relate it, to the best of my abilities, for my enjoyment and hopefully for the enjoyment of others.
My Mission: Speaking FICTION to Power
My Core Belief (regarding this): Speaking TRUTH to power is an honorable endeavor, and essential to the maintenance of the rights and freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution. But that’s not me. I’m a true believer in humor’s unique potential to serve up truth in acceptable doses. Humor with a truth chaser, if you will. I believe speaking FICTION to power can have an impact too, and it’s much more fun.
My Target: Anyone in power, especially anyone in power who speaks FICTION to us. (Their job is to stick to the TRUTH side of things.)
My credentials? I don't really have any - other than the fact that I did, once, truly speak fiction to Power. By that I mean I spoke by phone to the most powerful man in the world (at the time) all the while pretending to be my fictional character. But that’s another story, a long story, probably too long for Steemit.
I am currently working in a few political humor/satire modes (below) and I can't wait to get started here.
Here’s some of what I’ve been up to:
On Facebook - God’s Comedy Team, Edward Funtz
On Twitter - @GodsComedyTeam, @EdwardFuntz
I’ve published a book, I Just Wisht They Woulda Listened by Edward Funtz. Available on lulu.com (http://www.lulu.com/shop/http://www.lulu.com/shop/edward-funtz/i-just-wisht-they-woulda-listened/paperback/product-22982103.html).
Also available on Amazon.

My character, Edward Funtz, blogs his take on the passing political scene, how it affects him and his friends, and his attempts to bridge the great political divide at www.yourfriend-edwardfuntz.com.
—————————
Now, since I am unsure of my footing in this Steemit terrain, I plan to make very plain that my intentions here are primarily humorous, and what I may express in a “factually fictional” way is, in modern parlance, fake. For instance, if I were to write: “anonymous White House sources revealed today” you may rest assured that nothing of that sort actually happened. I’m not entirely sure how to do this; I will probably cite this introductory post as an explanation of what fiction-to-power is up to.
Anyway, I’m VERY excited to get started on Steemit!
LET’S HAVE SOME FUN!!!

Hi,
Just trying to get my feet on the ground here, now taking some time (hopefully) to look around. Read some of your posts and I like your take on bringing some sanity to political discord. I'm sure I'll come back to read more, or at least I'll try. Please feel free to let me know of anything you post along these lines, and I'll make a special effort to read them.
Regards,
Bill
