Introducing Parcbench
by Brett JoshpeToday is the first Monday of Spring, the season that inspires fresh hope, renewed energy, and thoughts of new beginnings. And so it is appropriate that today a colleague and I have launched Parcbench, a pop-culture and lifestyle brand whose central feature is an online daily magazine at www.parcbench.com.
Parcbench does not profess to be like most other publications, although we have derived much inspiration from Big Hollywood and its founder, Andrew Breitbart, who has agreed to join our Board of Advisors. And we believe that we share a common mission. Specifically, we strive to bring people pop-culture that reflects mainstream America.
While we intend to deliver a fair share of policy and political coverage as well, we will focus on the culture that makes our nation the richest and most diversified in the world. We will do it not just through parcbench.com but in person, in your town, on your college campus, and without the liberal spin that one finds in virtually every other cultural media outlet.
Our magazine will feature stories on current events, television, music, celebrities, movies, fashion, style, art, architecture, health, food, books, sports, and the military. We aspire to promote a brand that explores everything and cultivates a following that is intensely curious and patriotic.
Most importantly, Parcbench is beholden to no one. We owe no allegiance to any corporations or politicians. We will tell it like it is, including who and what is threatening America, and who and what is preserving it. And we will do it with your help. Because we believe that Parcbench is fundamentally a grassroots American experiment.
Although we live in tumultuous times, we believe that hope is not a new feature of the American landscape, but a fundamental part of our ethos. Parcbench will reflect that hope, optimism, love of country, and American sense of entrepreneurship. And best of all, Parcbench will be fun, something that is all too easy to forget these days.

Why are you not spelling it parkbench, with a K?
Good luck with your new site! I hope you will gear a good bit of it to the younger generation, they need alternatives to the stuff out there now.
we bookmarked you after a quick looksee. best of luck. huffpo,daily beast look like W meets the checkout line.
obama better than botox !!
A new website dedicated to bring us "pop culture that reflects mainstream America"… uses the French spelling of "park" in its name?
No doubt zee name eez taken by zee real makers of park benches, mon ami!
I checked out a couple articles. Interesting read. One nit that really gets me is that comments are posted in reverse order. I can't stand that. You see replies to other previous comments first.
Just remember. . . politics may attract people, but quality keeps them.
Good luck to you. I hope you succeed.
"We will tell it like it is, including who and what is threatening America, and who and what is preserving it."
you have now been added to the enemy list…God speed.
I liked the choice of articles. The ones about the black Conservative and the athletes challenging the Navy Seals were interesting. I'm keeping my eye on it. I wish you good luck.
Good luck with your new site. I notice that you have a section for articles written by the military. That is a welcome addition.
We of the banished elite salute you, and wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.
Good luck with the new site. I just realized (I think anyway) that you come from my home area – Stamford. Your dad was my doctor and my father's friend. Nice to see a fellow conservative from that area. Best wishes to all.
Best of luck! I'm excited to follow it.
Woah I'm elite now? Does that mean I'm getting a promotion and a raise?
Best of luck with the new site!
Just a promotion. Don't forget, we conservatives are cheap, too. Look for your certificate of loyal service in the mail. We'll mail it as soon as we can afford stamps.
I'll give you a bonus because I'm nicer that Lawhawk and I need to buy my friends. Unfortunately, the Dems are taxing it at 100%.
As for a promotion, I hereby commission you: "Public Enemy, 3rd Class".
"Public Enemy, 3rd Class"
Now I have the urge to go down to the local t-shirt shop and get that put on one too.
I think it looks great and I can't wait to see how it develops. i'm ordering your "Why You're Wrong About the Right" as we speak! It sounds right up my alley.
I just hope that this effort doesn't go the way of Culture11.
Wow, you guys are really fearless with your bold new approach. Hey, vigilante movies are good, because liberals are too wimpy to torture. Ooh, liberals are icky and if they have Obama stickers on their car they're stupid and brainwashed. Where oh where could I go on the web to find such trenchant and original thought — aside from every Pajamas Media outlet and non-affiliated conservative sights. Thank God you're not going in for groupthink, though. Nice to know that the standard litany of conservative cultural whining seems original to you. Keeps me from having to stop by again.
"Keeps me from having to stop by again"? Yeah, like I believe that. You NEED this board. This board makes your pathetic little life complete Troll. LOL!!
You forgot the one about liberals have cooties too, do we really need to put the whole litany back up for you people?
For the second time today, I'm just going to have to rate this one Weak Tea.
