What are you hoping to find in your War on Christmas stockings? Looking for some literate, secular extras to put under your War on Christmas trees? I’ve got some suggestions.
My good friend Bob Powers of Girls Are Pretty has finally put forth a collection of his unique holidays.

“Happy Cruelty Day” has its […]

… I’m returning to “Wait Wait” this week. I’m excited - it’s been more than three months since my last appearance, but tomorrow morning I’ll be on a plane bound for Chicago and my ol’ pals. Mo will be there as well, and between the two of us that means we have at least […]

It wasn’t my idea.  I helped write it, but it wasn’t my idea.
But on the final taping week of “Talkshow,” I devoted myself body and soul to producing a “Comedy for Stoners” for the ages.
I can tell you the whole story at some point, but for now let’s just say I became obsessed.  I’d wake […]

For those of you in parts of the country where “Ebert & Roeper” airs on Saturdays, please accept my apologies as I tell the rest of us that tonight, Peter Sagal will be standing in for Roger Ebert on America’s best-loved motion picture review programme!
I know, that’s exactly what I said when I heard:  “!”

It’s our last day here at “Talkshow,” and there’s a palpable Last Day of School vibe around here. I feel confident in saying that the 47-second opera, “Bigfoot and the Unicorn,” is one of the finest pieces of video ever produced. I’ll try to get you a sneak peak at it soon.

… and a bunch of non-rhyming folk turned up for the “Schrodinger’s Ball” reading at our own “Seattle Dan” and “Seattle Tammy’s” Jackson Street Books. In, as you may have surmised, Seattle.
It was a great time for all - well, at least I can vouch for myself. Jackson Street Books (website coming soon!) […]

I know.  I promise I will return to providing content rather than plugs very, very soon.  But at the same time, I’m often told I don’t self-promote enough.  So I’m making up for lost time, see
Tomorrow, Wednesday, I’ll be conducting an online chat at CourtTV.com. Please come on over to what I think of as […]

After a ridiculously frantic month, I’ve got more or less an entire weekend to catch up. And catch #1 was updating the Schrodinger’s Ball website. [Thanks to a few of you for reminding me that the novel has a site. And that said site needed attention. I’m in the midst, as I’ve […]

…me. From another day of work. And not too long since returned from Felberpalooza!
I will issue a full(er) report soon, and more than a few photos (once I start receiving ‘em). But suffice to say that it was a good time. Ernesto may have dampened the ground and depressed the turnout, but […]
