It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of bad movies. Or at least, clearly it’s not a secret any more, not after typing the previous sentence. So I’m proud to say that this weekend, my friends and I attended (and voted in) the 27th Annual Razzie Awards.
I left sorely disappointed. You […]

I’m dropping out, too. Dropping out of Fanatical Apathy. I know it’s not such a surprise. I guess I haven’t been the best blogger in the world. Coming and going willy-nilly.
You’ve been good to me and, believe it or not, I’ve appreciated all your comments. None of my non-cyber friends […]

Today is the actual date which saw the Father of our Country debut as the Baby of our Country. It was not this past Monday, when many of you were wrapping up your long ski weekends in honor of both George Washington and Abe Lincoln. (Abe Lincoln loved long weekends–he was able to take time […]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A jury began deliberating Wednesday in the perjury trial of former vice presidential aide Lewis “Scooter” Libby and will decide whether to convict him of obstructing an investigation tied to the Iraq war.

In the days ahead, I will likely be sharing my web efforts between FA and another satirical outlet.  Perhaps two new satirical outlets.  Perhaps.
How will this affect FA?  Positively, I would guess […]

My oh my, Berkeley was a good time. Those of you who heard this week’s show have literally heard the half of it, as the evergreen show from Friday night won’t air for a couple of months, probably (and even then, you can be sure that Paula and me messing with the on-stage sign […]

After weeks of preparation and revisions, U.S. officials are preparing to detail evidence supporting administration’s claims of Iran’s meddlesome and deadly activities. A briefing was scheduled Sunday in Baghdad.
The Iran dossier, some 200 pages thick in its classified form, was revised heavily after officials decided it was not ready for release as planned […]

So I’m in Berkeley to do a “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me.”  [Hi, Chris!]  Two, in fact.  I arrived last night, attended a fine, fine KQED event [Hey, Bob and Kristin, gimme a call!], and now I’m preparing for tonight’s festivities [Is Mike still in town?] and realizing…
This trip just kind of snuck up on […]
