... and from Mr. P, the cat |

We started this website out of frustration: We didn't know many people in the real world who were awake, so we crossed our fingers and opened our front door, so to speak, by putting the news (the way we see it) on-line. And once we did, some fascinating people walked in and helped us make the website better ... and those people invited a few more people ... and now, though we never expected it, thousands of people visit our apartment every day.
We really should vacuum the carpet more often.
So please, come on in, and pull up a chair next to your neighbors. We welcome Democrats and Republicans, independents and codependents, libertarians and communists, anyone who believes in liberty and justice for all. | |

If this is your first visit (or your 50th or 500th) we're happy you're here. I'm Helen, and this is my husband Harry. Pleased to meet ya.
We think of this website as part of our apartment.
For more than six years, we've been collecting unknown news from credible sources. We're amateur journalists, working on this homemade website instead of a big-time newspaper. You don't have to pay 50¢, you don't get lingerie ads, there's no sports section, and we can't match the mainstream media's in-depth coverage of Michael Jackson's nose.
Instead we cover a different beat: News that affects people's lives, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Pull up a chair and read all about it.
Unlike professional journalists, we won't pretend we have no opinions. Our slipper-wearin', coffee-drinkin' opinion is that America's so-called 'leaders' — Democrats and Republicans alike — have provided no leadership at all. Either that or they're "leading" us somewhere no-one sane would want to go.
If you're ever in a typative mood, we like 'listening' almost as much as 'talking.'
Take a look around, have some cheese puffs, shake some hands, make a few new friends.
Stay as long as you like, and feel free to come back any time you need a little shared sanity in a crazy world. Bring a friend next time — we have plenty of chairs!

Over in the corner, some people are having a conversation, and if you have something to add, please don't be shy. Once in a while someone klangs a fork on their glass and makes a little speech (the crowd is usually polite about such things).
Of course, we're all following the news from day to day, wondering how bad it's got to get before people start saying NO.
Until then, you're invited to mingle, or just find a comfy spot on our cyber sofa and relax.
Holler if you have any questions, or if you'd like a sandwich or anything. | |

We try not to whine too much or too loudly, but we are poor and this site eats a lot of money and time.
We couldn't do it without the help of our volunteers. And for those who can't afford the time, giving just a buck or two can make all the difference and keep Unknown News alive.
