The eXile is back!

But only online, and under a slightly different name. Their print edition got destroyed by the Russian state apparatus, apparently...
So, what do you folks out there in reader-land have to look forward to here? Death. But before you die, we at The eXiled will be there to hold your hand and make sure your last days and months on this planet of ours really, really hurt. We’re the doctor who refuses to give you morphine for that tumor eating its way through your pancreas, telling you, “We don’t think it’s right for you to cop out and get high simply because you’re in excruciating pain day and night, and you’ll continue to shriek in pain until you finally die from shock in about four months, which is really three months and twenty-nine days more than any living creature could possibly bear. So, suck it up, you nation of whiners you!”

What sort of pain-enhancing medicine are we at The eXiled prescribing you? All of your favorites from The eXile, and more. With one big difference: instead of being Russia-centric, we’re going to be as unabashedly America-centric as we’ve always bashedly been. Fuck Russia—we’re tired of working out on the second-stringers.

While the focus is shifting, The eXiled staff is essentially the same. The eXiled’s editorial junta consists of: Mark Ames, Yasha Levine, eXile guru Dr. John Dolan, and our latest and bestest addition to our Evil Justice League, Eileen Jones. Most of the contributors will be with us too, starting with Gary Brecher who’ll publish two “War Nerd” columns per month at The eXiled.

Reviews and rants—Dr. Dolan’s literary reviews, Ms. Jones’ film reviews, and so on—will be classified under our new “Fatwahs” section. Yasha Levine will be our special undercover Evil Empire correspondent, (thankfully the Russian government’s pit-eye hasn’t trained its nerve-net on Mr. Levine yet). For all of you wondering what happened to Vlad Kalashnikov, so far it looks like he’s agreed to come back again, starting to write for us next week. We’ll also have a new feature called “The eXiled Factor,” whereby The eXiled’s editorial junta will conduct a kind of topical McLaughlin Group pundit-riffing.
Magnificent bastards! :)

Yeah, i'm quite possibly the only person on this forum that reads that rag - but that ain't stopping me from posting about it :D

Oh, except maybe Julios - i seem to recall he reads the eXile too. And rightly so, for the eXile is basically an ongoing, grotesque experiment in Gonzo journalism. It could never exist in the West.

Nope, I've always enjoyed reading it - specifically the War Nerd.

Thanks for the reminder. :up:

nice :D - my housemate actually donated money to them when they were exiled (she's the one who introduced me to the exile)

I used to read it periodically. Found out about it when Matt Taibbi and Kevin McElwee (former exile editors) came to town and started their own US version called the beast.
