[Note: The following is a post based in part on a story that only lasted a few hours. In retrospect, all my analysis of Woodward and Bernstein’s reticence is besides the point now, and all my frothing accusations are… unecessary. Possibly “unkind,” or perhaps even “wrong.”
I’m going to leave the post […]

With my attention fixed firmly on the goal of drinking my way across the island of Manhattan (oh, and doing the show…yes yes, I’m here for a show, of course), I thought I’d stop by this charmless internet cafe and catch up on the headlines I’ve been ignoring for the past few days…

Apparently, Abu Musab […]

I don’t have bunches of time today - it’s an all-Felber gathering here in New York on the occasion of the birthday of our mighty matriarch.
Things seem to be running alarmingly smoothly here on the site, thanks to Jennifer and to all you folks who clicked that PayPal button to help out. Verily, the […]

From The New York Times:
WASHINGTON, May 23 - The southwestern regional director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service has instructed members of his staff to limit their use of the latest scientific studies on the genetics of endangered plants and animals when deciding how best to preserve and recover them….
Dale Hall, the director […]

On the surface, Laura Bush on vacation and Saddam Hussein in his underwear might not seem to be linked. But they are. Intimately.
Now calm down, Mr. President, it’s not what you think. It rarely is these days, come to think of it.

I’ll be New York-bound at dawn tomorrow. This Saturday and next, those of you in the NYC area can come see me in my old show, “The Next Big Broadway Musical.” Yes, it’s running again, for the first time since I moved West, and I’ll be taking part in the fun for two […]

INT. OVAL OFFICE - DAY
[PRESIDENT BUSH sits behind his desk, examining a stack of compact discs. He lifts one, begins to bend it. KARL ROVE and DICK CHENEY sit on the couch, consulting in hushed tones.
FBI Agent PHILLIP SMITH enters.]
BUSH: Smitty! Come on in. Wanted to see me?
SMITH: Yes […]

There’s tons of business for us Hollywood folks to take care of today - that chair by the pool isn’t going to sit on itself after all. But the comments from my weekend tirade on anti-media tirades has produced a lot of good discussion, so maybe that’ll hold you ravenous beasts until tomorrow.
The biggest […]

It’s no secret that I enjoy bashing the mainstream media. Particularly the cable news networks, where news stories are mere placeholders between Misbehaving Celebrities, White Women In Peril, and Partisans Screaming At Each Other Without A Capable Moderator. The media is too credulous, too easily cowed, too revenue-driven, and they’ve bowed to a […]

I’ll be flying to Chicago in a few hours, helping Wait Wait break in its new permanent home. Despite the added air-time to get my airtime, it’s a move I’m in favor of - doing the show in front of an audience allows me to work in some of my vast mime repetoire, which […]
