Getting Started

Anyone who believes getting there is half the fun has not traveled far. Adding ongoing "drive by punditry" to my newly-resumed regular column is at once an exciting but daunting task. This introductory piece is posted to let you know that there's more to come.

For those of you not familiar with my Reality Check column, here's the five cent introduction from my website:

"Mike Fitzpatrick's “Reality Check” column originally was published in the Wisconsin InStep for four years prior to the paper's untimely folding in December, 2003. The column's "queer take" on LGBT news of national and state interest was one of the paper's most widely quoted features. Mike's work has appeared over the years in Ron Geiman's original IN Step, The Wisconsin Light, and currently can be found in Quest, where he serves as news editor. That paper's current size limitations does not permit room for a lot of extended commentary, although format changes are in the planning stages to solidify Quest's claim as currently the only true, statewide news and entertainment guide as it begins it's twelfth year of uninterrupted publication."
