NewsBlaze's Commentary Reaching Another Dimension
By Krzys Wasilewski 
FOLSOM, CA, - Online commentary has reached another dimension with NewsBlaze's journalist Robert Paul Reyes and cartoonist M.J. joining their forces in the relentless pursuit of everyday peculiarities.
American politics has rarely been more interesting than this year. But to fish the most important event out of the sea of banalities and present it in a comprehensible way requires a set of skills possessed only by the very few. Among the elite of political commentary the names of Robert Paul Reyes and M.J. are pronounced with utmost respect. Some already predict that Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Barack Obama should already start to worry as the NewsBlaze duo will spare no one.
Robert Paul Reyes joined NewsBlaze only recently. "I was born and raised in the liberal San Francisco Bay Area, but now I write a newspaper column, from a liberal perspective, for a small town in the Bible Belt," he says of himself. His articles on the 2008 U.S. presidential election, which have appeared on the Student Operated Press website, are among the most readable and controversial. "The tag line for one of my blogs is 'Politics, Pop Culture and Pointless Pontificating' - that sums up my writing interests," he says.
M.J., on the other hand, debuted on NewsBlaze in March 2006. Since then, his cartoons have been the website's essential part that have added colors to the world of black fonts and blue hyperlinks. "MJ has two cartoon series - Bushwhacked and Fiddlesitx. Scroll down to see the new Fiddlestix strips. MJ creates our favorite Political Cartoons," informs NewsBlaze. His collaboration with Robert Paul Reyes has a chance to be equally successful.
