I had the poor forutune to watch the Red Sox win the World Series (have you heard about that?) in a hotel bar, far from my Sox-loving extended family, accompanied by Our Host,. The problem is, he’s the nicest, kindest, most generous person in the world. Perhaps you’re expecting a “But.” There is no […]
When I have a disagreement with the top of the ticket, I like to rub his face in it.
Peter here again, trying to keep it brief so as not to force Adam’s actually funny entries too far down the page. You’ve heard about Jon Stewart on Crossfire, you’ve read the excerpts and maybe even the whole transcript, but you need to see the actual video. And keep this in mind: he was given […]
Peter here… with nothing particularly funny to say but an observation about last night’s debate, that as far I as I know, hasn’t been yet blogged about or commented upon elsewhere.

VI ZIMMERMAN, Democratic activist, sits feverishly typing at his computer, stopping to take drags on a clove cigarette.
Enter YURINA WASHINGTON, radical anarchist […]
In an earlier lugubrious post, I noted that when confronted by evidence proving a lie, really good liars attack the evidence:
“The documents backing up your opponent were forged, probably by your opponent; the confessions coerced by torture, the court opinions corrupt, the historians and academics partisans for his side..”
Well, looky here:
I point you toward this, by a gifted writer whose anger sharpens his gifts.
Every now and then, I sit for an interview, most often with the local media in advance of one of our road shows. I’m glad to do it, of course, and am always flattered by the attention. But I always chat with the reporter with the underlying assumption that they will take what I say, […]
