"I make a point of checking
this page every day. It is bipartisan, acerbic and extremely witty.
Keep up the good work!"--Ann Speaker
"An irreverent compendium of
one-liners, links to real and fake web sites, and
anti-establishment musings on the American political scene. Whether you're a Republican,
Democrat, or None Of The Above, the Muse proves that irony is not a dead art. Frequently
updated and well-illustrated, it's a good antidote for news you'll read elsewhere. Read it,
right after you've visited the latest Dilbert cartoon in the Dilbert Zone."
--Carole Leita, Librarians'
Index to the Internet
"Despite some
doomsday predictions about the health
of Web publishing, many publications are not only
going strong but getting better and better. Like the
daily muse, for instance. Which on any given day will
take on anybody from AOL's Steve Case to Bill
Clinton.!"--USA Today Hot Sites
"Everyone's
fair game to the daily muse -- but especially
politicians. This satirical magazine lampoons the White
House (see Bubba Muse) and Congress (Good Newt,
Bad Newt) alike. Just for good measure, the muse also
gives Bill Gates a shellacking. Frequently updated and
well-illustrated, the muse is a good antidote for news
you'll read elsewhere."--NetGuide's
Best of the Web
"For a wry look at
current events, check out the Daily
Muse...There's coverage of the presidential campaign, the TWA crash and
the O.J. Simpson civil trial--all with a twist.!"
--Los Angeles Times Cutting Edge
"A recent visit yielded pages and pages of
current, original material, making us suspect this Web-based publication may have
something more than a Web server and an HTML jockey going for it. Perhaps a staff
of dedicated writers?"--Paul Bacon, Most Popular Web Sites, the Best
of the Net from A2Z (Lycos Press)
"This online 'zine features plenty of well-written political opinion,
along with a solid, attractive layout.
Be sure to check out the Debate '96
area."--Congressional
Quarterly's American Voter '96
"It's not Democrat, it's not Republican--at least if it is, I can't tell.
It seems to dislike both parties..."--Mootweb's
All The News That's Fit to cut
"The Daily Muse page puts a
unique spin on the daily news, with a dose of satire and commentary
from the author's point of view. Visitors can expect some bitter
political humor and cynicism that spews equally on the pretensions
of the left and right.--Lycos A2Z
"No cow is too sacred for The Daily Muse, an irreverent compendium of one-liners,
wry links and anti-establishment musings on the American political scene.
Whether you're rooting for Dole, Clinton, Lamm, or None Of The Above, the
Muse is bound to win your vote. (Quasi-political notables and wannabes
like Colin Powell, Steve Forbes, Hillary Rodham, Ross Perot all come in
for some joshing too.) But wait,
there's more: Worldly, Bubba, and Sporting Muses, among others, are your
links to other eminently teasable subjects,
lying in wait to tickle your political funnybone."
"It's a morph-fest. It's no beau geste. It's
Dole in full Elvis regalia -- and so much more!
Dolesville is anything but, thanks to the wit and
design skills of the estimable Daily Muse staff.
Musers satirize, hyperlink, and enhance Dole's
most incomprehensible blatherings for the
liberal reader's gratuitous pleasure. Dole on
dissing the NAACP: 'We'll have other
opportunities to speak to audiences I think I
can relate to.' Dolesville on the latest Dole
bite: 'Like born-again KKK lung-cancer
victims?' Good stuff."
"Outside of Tripod,
I've been having a lot of fun rediscovering
Feed and The Daily Muse, both of which cover current events
and politics with insight, humor and a lot of cheeky style."
--Randy Williams, Work & Money Editor, Tripod
"...It is biting, funny, and generally prints a lot of
things people probably are thinking but are afraid to say. Yes,
even the graphics come alive with a flashy display of our first
cousin, MSNBC. And while making fun of everything, 'Muse'
provides links to many sites to prove its point. But can you
believe the 'zine' would go so far as to suggest Microsoft
Chairman Bill Gates
would muscle in on NBC's programming?
Primary Colors, the campaign, Bill & Hillary, the news -
everything is fair game. Look in on a local page that seems to
be a mix of Will Rogers, Jr., Mad Magazine, and Mark Russell.
The Daily Muse is a wrap-up of the good, bad and ugly of
Washington - well, mostly the bad and ugly. Bookmark it for a
chuckle or two. The page does have one major drawback -
you can't wrap fish in it."--
I.J. Hudson, NBC4, Washington, D.C.
"One of the best humor 'Zines' I've come across to date. A fresh look at
the news and current events in a way I can relate. Doesn't look like any
sides are taken or sacred cows are spared. Worth getting DAILY!!"--
The Comedy Zone
"The Daily Muse takes your daily news and seizes upon the foolish
and absurd. Where it finds excessive sobriety, particularly in the
noble realm of politics, it brandishes its sword of irreverence. It's
proving to be an increasingly hot site for those who love seeing
figures of power skewered. Even when the wit does not flow, an
image of, say, Bob Dole as Elvis sort of puts the universe in
perspective."--iGuide Net Reviews
"The Muse is great. I was dependent on the 'Washington Compost'
for my political humor...they ended and I was fortunate to find the MUSE.
I think I found it thru a search for political humor. I really liked the
picture of the Cessna shot down by Castro....I cried for 10 minutes.
Keep up the great work...I check the site out daily and love to share it
with others."--David Faerber of Louisiana
"This site is funny (really funny). A hell of a
lot funnier than certain other daily sites that
take themselves just a little too seriously.
We know who we'd rather share our
morning coffee with."--Heather Irwin of The Netizen
"Much funnier than we could ever hope to be, The Daily Muse is a
daily look at a current event. No one seems to know if it is the product of one person
or a group, but nonetheless, it is amusing as hell. Though mostly political in nature, it
does cover certain entertainment news such as Madonna's pregnancy and Princess
Di with the Beatles. When you go there, make sure to check out the infamous Bill
Gates@NBC - Must C:\TV! Hilarious stuff. The first place we go everyday."
--ALR Advocate
"It's irreverent and goofy, so enter laughing."--
"...the ingenuity of this site
and its links to semi-related pages should make it a joy
for anyone even vaguely familiar with the
worlds of television and computers."--
Magellan 3-Star Site review for
Bill Gates@NBC--It's Must C:\ TV
"I'm an occasional reader of The Daily Muse. Perhaps you don't get much
mail because we are intimidated by your wit. I do enjoy your humor,
which is much more sophisticated than the usual fare. You prove that
irony is not a dead art. I also enjoy the improbable links you
provide--e.g., to the embryo site. And who would have suspected that
Muncie had a Website? Who would have looked? So, keep up the good work. And remember that as we plummet toward the
election, the material can only get better! You can start bashing
Clinton again."--Olley from Indiana
"I am beginning to depend on an everyday hit of the Daily Muse, just to
crack a smile in our recent world. I have it in my 'Daily' Bookmark
section, and it's a great way to start the day. Keep up the good work!"
--Z. Sztaray-Kountz
"Turns out Hillary Clinton was a Girl Scout. Strange but true. Where did
she go wrong? It seems the Daily Muse, a satirical Webzine with
National Lampoon overtones, has allegedly uncovered an incriminating
note written from Hillary to her hubby. She knew that he knew that she
knew, or some such. While Congressional investigators struggle to
ascertain the authenticity of the letter, the Muse will continue to publish
the facts...and the photos to prove it."--Gary Brickman, The New York Times CyberTimes
"There are 'zines and there are 'zines, but none is exactly the daily muse. One of the
small gems of online attitude, this site has become my once-a-week humor jolt.
This kind of site is a great use for the Net: Short but sweet set pieces on topical
stories ripped from today's headlines. The pub's but a single page, and the graphics
are high-quality and load slowly, but it's worth the wait. The writers have no respect
for anyone, and the results are predictably hilarious. For example, here you'll find
their take on the inevitable results of Bill Gates' ascendancy to Ruler of NBC.
Be sure to follow down the links the muse provides. How else would you find, for
example, the Lisa Marie Home Page, purporting to disclose evidence that Ms.
Presley is an impostor?
The segments change fairly regularly, so it's worth a weekly look, and a cherished
place on your browser's hot list."--Gary A. Bolles, Inter@active Week
"If you must pigeonhole The
Daily Muse, try a catch-all action phrase like 'surf, smirk and, perhaps by accident,
learn something.' A new form of 'infotainment' only possible on the Web, The Daily
Muse is built on barbs delivered at names in the news, and links (some new, some
dated) to many interesting and seldom visited Web sites...(The Muse) demonstrates that
some of the best
publishing sites on the Web are those that are founded on a purposeful idea and
constructed from entertaining, informative and well-written editorial content."
--Joan Kite, Contributing Editor, Interactive Publishing Alert
"In this rundown of news and views, the daily briefs are pastel, the
editorials are for the Ritalin-saturated, and the potshots are deadly."--
Pick of the Day
"I guess no (one) is obligated to engage in serious political thinking, as your page
demonstrates."--a reader using an AOL screen name
"Bringing the traditions of irresponsible journalism to a new medium"
is the motto of this satiric zine that debuted on August 31, 1995.
The design is quite nice; the sensibility calls to mind a stand-up routine.
Diverting but forgettable.--Excite Reviews
"Online definition of the word 'irreverent.' Gotta stop by and check
this out. They even dis their own awards!"--AIMC: The Coffeehouse
"Great site. I check you guys
out right after Dilbert, and just before CNNfn Grapevine. Somehow it seems to put the day in perspective and
start it off right."--John Wolfsberger, Jr.
"The site changes frequently, navigates quickly and offers
Groucho Marx meets Photoshop humor." --AdZe's Cosmic Site of the Night
"It's Mad magazine for the Web
- or maybe just Letterman with
hypertext. Whatever it is,
the daily muse roasts all the
celebrities and media mongrels
we're tired of hearing about.
Wondering whether NBC's
nightly lineup will change
now that Bill 'Deep Pockets'
Gates has signed on?
Must C:\ TV says it all."
--HotWired: Net Surf
"As an engineer in this industry, it is a job requirement to spend time
'surfing the Net' as it is so ubiquitously termed. Most of what is out
there to be had is tripe, with the occasional impressive Java applet or
VRML site. HotWired
offers some refuge, as does
Epicurious and, of course,
The Dilbert Zone
(a daily MUST.). It is with pleasure that I am
now adding this site to my (short) list of favorites. In this industry
few people realize that it is not the medium, but the content, that
counts. Two points for you. Good delivery, witty content. I look
forward to the next installment." --Joe L., founding member, Engineers
for Excessive Bandwidth Utilization
"In the spirit of Spy magazine and, more recently, Suck,
comes 'The Daily Muse', a site that
refuses to let you forget that 'Newt' is an exceedingly silly name. Focusing on current events and
their accompanying media coverage, this well-written, graphic-rich Web 'zine pokes fun at
politicians' doubletalk, celebrities, and anything else worthy of singling out for abuse. 'Some
Americans are already in the ... on the ground in Bosnia,' says a blushing Dan Rather during a live
newscast, and 'The Daily Muse' won't let him forget it. Sometimes the jokes are a bit predictable,
but most of the humor is dead-on. The site is updated frequently."
--Point 
"Tired of boring news from the papers and TV? The folks behind the Daily Muse are, and they've
done something funny about it. (On our last visit, the site's motto was: 'Vowing to shut down
unless our checkbook is balanced.') Visitors get breaking 'stories' like the one saying Princess Di
is willing to tour with The Beatles (she's been practicing, we learned). We learned all about the
new NBC lineup with Bill Gates in charge ('Must C:/TV') and other political and topical foibles.
This place skewers everything and everyone. Simply put, if you have a pulse, you'll find it hard not
to laugh here. A welcome addition to the Web's humor archives."
--Point
"The Web is a great place to gather different perspectives on political news. Aside from the print
giants that are transferring portions of content to the 'new media,' there are two types of news
sites on the Web today. The first type is graphically sophisticated with snippets of real news. The
other is less interesting to look at but has more conventional coverage. First, check out The Daily
Muse. It's hip, it's cool, it's cryptic, and it is one example of the new breed of Web site that
combines news with Generation X attitude. For political news with a more conventional
perspective (and Web design), look at the Texas Political Resource Page.
This site provides Texas gossip and updates on political events in the Lone Star state."
--Laura Dove, PoliticsUSA Web Editor
"I note with interest the amount of dirt being presented on Steve Forbes
now that he is a front-runner. I guess he is part of another minority
group (rich) being slammed."--Frank Angelo
"It's witty, clever, and offbeat. It's what some of us would like our
local daily wiper to be like."--Ken's Spiffy Spot
"The Daily Muse is hilarious.
This 'news' sight makes fun of all that is happening in our world today.
I plan on making this sight a daily stop on my Internet agenda.
Two thumbs up!"--Heather's Cool Cyberspace Links
"The motto of this political
satire Webzine that debuted on August 31, 1995, is
'Bringing the traditions of irresponsible journalism
to a new medium.' Unfortunately, while amusing, the
irresponsible part is only too true--the who, what,
when, where, and why are left unanswered and the only
contact is an e-mail address to the editor."

"When the evening news gets a little dreary (and, oh!, does it get
dreary), lighten up with the very well-done e-rag 'The Daily Muse'."
--USA Today Online
"I find this particularly offensive. I thought that this was a serious
home page! Maybe the new telecommunications bill is NOT such a bad idea
after all. Especially if it filters out things like this."--a numbered CompuServe account
"Some cool stuff. Continue to enjoy doing what you do.
The picture of Clinton was neat. Politically right on." --Jim Heald
"Great job....we're still laughing."
--Lifegard, Hit the Beach
"I DON'T THINK I HAVE READ SUCH NEGATIVE SICK HUMOR ON THE INTERNET SUCH AS
YOURS.
YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE A SICK SELF-CENTERED PERSON WHO WOULD NEVER TRY ANYTHING
NEW IN LIFE. YOU OBVIOUSLY HATE ANYONE WHO HAS BECOME SUCCESSFUL AND CHOSE TO
DEGRADE THAT PERSON OR POSITION THEM AS EVIL BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT A WORTHLESS
PIECE OF ---- LIKE YOU."--RDyson, probably referring to something on our Steve Forbes page.
"Hi there folks,
I am not in much of a position to evaluate your past work inasmuch as I
have just discovered your site today.
But I have the sense I will return daily because I am always searching
for doses of non-reality to help me through life. I wish that I could
pinpoint the time when life became 'serious.' Fun seems to be against the
principles of most of those who attempt to rule our daily lives.
BTW: I found you through the 'Cool Site
of the Day', which I originally found
under the 'What's Cool' directory on Netscape.
Keep up what seems to be terrific work." --Michael A. Masin
"Cool, like he didn't do it (Ha, Ha).
Those are the answers he would most likely give, too. Funny, but true. Thanx for the article. It was
hillarious. Anyone that really believes he didn't do it is an idiot." --James Nichols,
regarding The Lost O.J. Interview Tapes
"Just added a link to your site from the wrecked humor collection's list
of other humor sites on the net!! Keep up the great work!!"
--Derek Cashman, Editor,
Wrecked Humor Collection
"Thank you, we really enjoyed this!" --Brad Lyman
"Although I know that disk space is becoming much more inexpensive,
that is no reason to waste it on garbage like this.
If you don't have anything productive to say then just shut the hell up.
This page was just a waste of my time."--jlehrkam
"In a dark and hostile world, it's comforting to know there are a few brave
souls like yourself willing to shine the light of truth no matter what the
cost. I salute you and your country salutes you."--the ratman
"Come on! You could have designed this site a hell of a lot better!
What's the big $#*($*( deal having to go through five doors just to get
to the main site!!?!" --Henry Wyckoff
"Clinton has already cleared the air on the Yeltsin meeting:
They weren't talking about poultry, they were talking about poetry;
not about a ban on imports, but bars and 'in-poets.'
They want to start a poetry slam series in Moscow pubs next year."
--Joseph Richey, cackling on about Chickengate
"My suggestion, if he really wants to improve his chances,
is to pick Fig Bar Man or perhaps Ken Griffey Jr.
Fig Bar Man appeals to the technospeaking net savvy. Sure he's a bit silly, but he's got a better
web site than Dole. Ken Griffey Jr. appeals to the masses, especially the
young (and God knows Dole needs that), and he's got Nike backing him."
--("You-can-call-me-Hank") Aaron Petry, about Bob Dole's potential
running mate.
"Maybe the CompuServe 'Stick-It-To-You'
experiment is a forecast of future events.
Once again, some of you think you're funny
Yes, you too can be subjected to this kind of ridicule--ahem--fun.
