Squeeze the Pulp was created in August 2005 (and reworked in December 2007) to provide a public space for residents of Orange County to broadcast and discover the full flavor of the Orange zest that we live in. Those engaging the political and media structure have come to know how much misinformation is spun daily to grease the cogs. Hypocrisy abounds. Just look at how a supposedly “progressive” political community not only elected a town official who committed violence against a woman, but had every major political figure backing that candidacy!

The Hot Orange section concentrates on “current issues”. In order to provide the contextual background and institutional memory so lacking from southern Orange, the Peeled and Sliced section catalogs the political history of Orange (e.g., what has been going on with endless local melodrama - Carolina North.) There is also a people-watching section for those public personas we have come to know over in the Sour and Seedy section.

Can you contribute to the mélange? You bet. We have brought on some of the more controversial posters from the old Pulp as contributors. Each controls their very own slice of the Pulp. If you want to submit postings to them, good for you – just do it! It’s up to each contributor to publish your submitted post and maybe to respond in kind. So rest assured that the voyeuristic pleasure of a good verbal food fight remains as juicy as ever.

Bon appétit.
