After a whirlwind whistle-stop tour across this great land of ours, the Felber Jalopy rattled in to Los Angeles. We’re here.
Our stuff isn’t, bur we are.
So as I sit at a Kinko’s on Sunset Blvd., I have a couple of moments to reflect:
- This is a very big country. Big. […]

I’ve always been fascinated with the tactical advantage enjoyed by people who can lie. Maybe it’s because I’m very bad at it myself – it’s not the moral qualms, it’s the way I look transparently shifty.
Some years ago, in fact, I wrote a play about a particularly imaginative subcategory of liar, Holocaust deniers. I’ve been […]

Alan’s allies in “his” state rise to his defense:
“Those words [Alan calling Mary Cheney a… oh, you know] ignited a media firestorm, and liberal GOP leader Judy Baar Topinka called them “idiotic.” Topinka is a big supporter of homosexual activism in Illinois, and recently rode a float in the Chicago “gay pride” parade. The […]

As some long-time WWDTM listeners might remember from his appearance on the show, Andrew Sullivan and I were friends in college, acting in plays together. I liked and admired him then, and have watched his subsequent career with great interest, and sometimes (when he became editor of the New Republic at age 28, say) […]

How could I have neglected the Sun Times in my search for Keyesiana?
Yeah, yeah, I know, more Keyes. But today’s the day we crash on our script for WWDTM, and besides, as he would say, “This is a teaching moment.”

The Chicago Tribune, like a lot of newspapers, prints a fair amount of letters in which readers plainly state their political preference. One such letter appears this morning, from one Jim Aldersen. Let’s act like one of those sophisticated political blogs, and “frisk” it!
Elgin —
Okay, Elgin. Where the heck is that? I […]

Yeah, yeah, I know. You come here for amusing political satire… if you wanted an utter obsession with every word and action of Alan Keyes, to the exclusion of all other aspects of reality, you’d just go someplace else.
Adam comes back this weekend. Until then, suck it up.
Yesterday, Alan attacked the media for […]

Hah hah hah hah hah. Hee hee.

Alan calls Dick Cheney’s daughter a “selfish hedonist,” and causes the head of “his own” state’s Republican party to hide behind a ficus tree. Details here.
