Introduction	I'm an author, humorist, and a 20-year veteran of creative campaigns for social change. As Phil T. Rich," I led the 2004 media sensation "Billionaires for Bush." I've written a few books, including two books of idea-driven humor published by W. W. Norton: "Daily Afflictions" and "Life's Little Deconstruction Book." I'm at work on two others: "Pilgrimage to Nowhere," about the ironies of adventure travel when there's no elsewhere anymore; and "Enlightened Machismo," about the odd challenges men face in a "post-feminist" world. My writing has appeared in The Nation, Village Voice, Marie Claire, Salon.com, Sun Magazine, and elsewhere. For part of my bread and butter I do trainings and speaking engagements at campuses and conferences across the country. For another part, I'm a founding partner of Agit-Pop Communications, a "subvertising" agency doing on-line video & animation for environmental & social justice campaigns. This year, I did my little part for Obama’s victory by running two messaging campaigns: “Pinocchio Politics” and “Lobbyists for McCain” and I’m currently piloting a new campus talk for 2009 called “Irony We Can Believe In.” I live in NYC with my wee laptop.
