Happy Birthday Bolingbrook Babbler Online!

Publisher Chris Olson

By Publisher Chris Olson

One year ago this month, The Bolingbrook Babbler launched its current web site. We weren't certain if it would be a success. Since we shutdown the last web site in 2001, the Internet went on to embrace "Web 2.0." Would our readers embrace the new web site, and could we reach out to a new audience on the Internet?

The answer is both questions is yes! Not only have our old readers found us online, but a new generation of readers are "hooking up" with us. The truth is out there, and we're sending it to the Internet! The world is learning that there is more to the Chicago area than boring ghosts, and long-winded politicians. There's is a world of mystery surrounding us.

Unfortunately, our enemies are noticing us too. We have been cited on such "skeptical" sites as Bad Astronomy, The Friendly Atheist, The Skeptologists, and Skepchick. With the exception of BA, these are the minor leagues skeptics. It is only a matter of time before Steven Novella and James Randi unleash their fury on us. But we'll be ready. We've stood up to the Men in Blue, and we will stand up to these so-called rational people.

Why? Because you deserve to know the truth. My father said that the new residents of Bolingbrook, IL needed to know the truth about their new village. Today, I feel that everyone in the Chicago area needs to know the truth. The truth that our other "respected" media won't cover. If another UFO crashes into Four Lakes, or a politician tries to advertise on the Moon, The Babbler will be there to cover the story.

I can't believe it's been a year since we returned to the Internet. I guess it's because I feel like we have only just begun to fight. If you are a skeptic and find our web site offensive now, just wait to see what the new year will bring!
