Ace Reporter. Private Dick.

Good work. You found my secret file cabinet of personal dossiers.

I'm working on a new case. You could help solve it and see your work in my next memoir. Here's a clue... A punk kid rode by on his bike and yelled "Hey Hammer! if you're looking for the truth, you can find it in the ten cent rag It's Pulp-Noir under a dime!". And with that he was gone.

"They say laughter's the best medicine. I guess that's why my doctor told me to quit journalism and start a clown college. But then I realized, most of the clowns are already in politics. And their jokes? Not nearly as funny as the ones I dig up on the daily."

Policy Punches: The Chuck Norris of Paperwork

A satirical, grayscale image in a noir style shows a man, meant to be the "Chuck Norris of Florida politics," attempting a clumsy high kick in an office filled with stacks of mundane documents, with a comical grimace of effort.

So, DeSantis taps a new deputy, and they’re calling him the ‘Chuck Norris of Florida politics.’ Chuck Norris, huh? Last I checked, Chuck

  • GRINDHOUSE THEATER
    • Research. Old movies that tell the truth.
"I tried to write a story about honesty in Washington, but my typewriter jammed. Must’ve sensed the lie before I did. Around here, truth’s an endangered species—spotted once a decade, stuffed, mounted, and trotted out for campaign season."

Yours Truly,

THE HAMMER FILES

THE EVIDENCE SHREDDED BY THE SYSTEM.

My office hasn’t just been hit—the System ran a cleaner through the archive. As you can see, the files are a random mess because the Controller scrambled the Index and shuffled the ledger. We’ve got a lot of sifting to do if we’re going to recover the case reports and re-sequence my stolen manuscripts. This pile is the wreckage of a system failure. If you’re in on the game, this is where we start.
