I got the news last night. I was holding out, hoping that it was a hoax. Elaine Boosler wrote a piece about Richard Jeni. Damn.
Follow-up Article
This is the 2nd article about running the LA Marathon. Enjoy!
Marathon or Bust
This is the piece I wrote in the Daily News. The modern marathon is rooted in the tale that in 490 B.C. after the Persians were defeated at the plains of Marathon, the Greek messenger Pheidippides ran the 25 miles to Athens to proclaim the victory. After delivering this vital message, he dropped dead. To… Continue reading
This was in the Daily News
Here’s the link…I’ll post it in a couple days. Right now I’m working on the follow up. Yeah, that’s right – I ran the LA Marathon yesterday. And I thought watching Basic Instict 2 was painful…
America Fattens on Snake Oil
This is a piece I wrote that was in the Sun. LA Daily News… I like to think of myself as someone who acknowledges trends but is not ruled by them. For example, I know the 1980’s are back in fashion, but I didn’t tease my bangs the first time around, so it’s even less… Continue reading

Here’s a link to my article. I’ll post it here after a couple of days. Cheers!
Wash, Rinse and Repeat
Because Americans are so stupid we won’t even give a new plan (which is exactly like the old plan that wasn’t working) a chance not to work.

Article
This was in the Sun. LA Daily News while I was on vacation…. Forget the planet–save the people I don’t care about global warming. There. I said it. I don’t care. I don’t want to hear anything more about it. I’m done.And no, I’m not going to quote experts that say that global warming isn’t… Continue reading
Ready to Road
Once I was in a particularly nasty hotel/motel room. It was ‘under-construction’ by a group of wife smacking, crack head (to be fair, it could have been meth) gypsies. The room was about 10 feet from the freeway, five from the pool and two from the ice machine. Of course the last two were out… Continue reading
Drive-Thru
Here’s an ‘only in California’ thing… I drove through a tree. Serious. I was doing a gig near the Redwood Forrest this weekend and saw a sign for the drive thru tree. I forked over my five dollars and then drove through a tree older than Caesar.
Someone to Watch Over Us
This was in the LA Daily News today. I was a stalker before it was illegal. Yep, that’s right. For those of you that don’t remember because you aren’t old enough or you’ve never been persistent enough with a love interest, stalking laws were passed in California in 1990 and much like smoking bans and… Continue reading
Sanctity in the Penitentiary
The 76 year old death row inmate Clarence Ray Allen, was put to death early Tuesday by the state of California. Having suffered a heart attack back in September, Allen had asked prison authorities to let him die if he went into cardiac arrest before his execution, a request prison officials said they would not… Continue reading
Smokey and the Habit
Hey Yawl! I’m back. I’ve gone a week without nicotine. Goody. I have been working out everyday…because I don’t have much of a choice. I have been a pale, thin and doughy so long, I can’t recall ever being in shape. But, now – I’m totally into it. I want to work out. I want… Continue reading
