Dear Fred Thompson, I’ve been so excited ever since you announced your bid for the throne GOP nomination for 2008, but today you left me confused. Did you not get the memo? I know Karl Rove is busy these days, what with his crumbling empire and dissent in the ranks, but I’d have thought he…

So, John Edwards has had the audacity to suggest that we use Memorial Day to honor Vets and ot demand that this Administration stop making more vets in a senseless war with no purpose. Great concept: Support the Troops — End the War. Pretty simple. Some of us have been saying that for years, and…

This is a public service announcement. Ahhh, It’s that time of year again where we hit the beach, the beach hits back and we need to sit down and enjoy some half-decent food to get over it all. Almost exactly one year ago I spent a wonderful week on the coast of Maine with my…

Very nice stand-up routine by Demetri Martin on Comedy Central. Hope to see more of his stuff. And now, thanks to YouTube and Google Video, I really,  really don’t need to get a teevee to enjoy stuff like this. Dude’s got his own website and all, go take a look.

Katherine Harris (R-Disneyland, retired) was spotted at the SOTU handing out business cards to her former colleagues. You can’t help but wonder what services she would be offering. She doesn’t know shit about politics, she’s an incompetent fundraiser and a known liar — well, okay, that last one may actually be marketable among Republicans, but…

This rebuttal ran in my local paper, The Valley News: To the editor, It’s unclear if Mr. Gersen (“mission creep in public schools”, January 14) is finding it hard to face up to his responsibility or is trying to convince himself that he has none. The school district already has an implied nutritional policy that…
