I have an essay published in the book, What Was I Thinking?. You can check it out on Amazon here.
I will be reading my essay this Sunday, the 15th of February at Border’s Books in Westwood at 3:30 PM.
Stop by and say hi!

You look a lot like Portia diRossi, Ellen’s wife. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen you two in a pictures together…. Coincidence? Sure you’re not moonlighting as a lesbian bride?
No. But feel free to continue to pass along that rumor. It could only help my career.
I seem to be getting a lot of traffic from the wikipedia page about the Children of God and I just figured out why – there’s a documentary about it on MSNBC right now.
Anyway, how does one come into this world in a fanatical religious cult and then end up a humorist? I ask, how can you be brought into this world in a fanatical religious cult and NOT end up a humorist? My choices were that or a mental patient. Not that the two are mutually exclusive. And not that there’s anything wrong with being a humorist.
I wrote a press release in case you’re curious.
Cheers.
Okay, this site was down due to some unspecified tech issues.
I blame it on gay marriage in California. That and the spike in tux rentals. It’s an epidemic.
Anyway, the site is back up. I am diligently blogging daily at Mediabistro’s FishbowlLA. Feel free to stop by and say hi.
In case you missed it on TV – I was on channel 35’s LA Cityview’s show about politics and comedy. You can go to the site and on the right side there is a link for show #36. Just click that and watch.
The producer said it was the funniest show they had ever done.
Of course, that’s on par with being the tallest kid in pre-school…
Not to degrade anyone’s opinion of the LA Weekly, but they hired me to do some local stories.
One on the Silver Lake Meadow and another on the Pico-Olympic One Way.
I’ll post more…later.
Hey All!
I’m blogging over at Mediabistro’s Fishbowl LA. Come by and say hi!
Okay, I really could care less if you want to advertise your beliefs on your car. I don’t care if you have bumper stickers for candidate. I don’t care if you have some quirky platitude about random acts of kindness. I don’t care if you want to put a sticker of Calvin peeing on something. Really – I’m all for self-expression. Go on – express!
But…
Really? It’s like in case someone didn’t know that the fish was a Christian symbol – in order to spell it out – there’s a holy cross for the eye?!
It makes it look like a dead fish.
Exhibit A:
Sigh.
I might be over thinking it – I have considered that it could be some ironic hipster thing. Because I’m an optimist. And I often think the smartest of people until I am inevitably proven wrong.
It was not intended to be the trucker hat of bumper stickers.
The funny thing is: Christians have told me (over and over again) that I am offensive to them. My work. My humor. Me as a person. Is offensive to some Christians.
But a sticker that looks like a dead fish? Naw. Perfect gift idea!
The AMPTP has launched a new site explaining their side of the conflict with the Hollywood writers.
Stand tough brass. Don’t let the little guys pick on you!
Heya Folks!
I’m now blogging…sometimes at The LA Daily News’ blog Friendly Fire. Stop by and have a look.
Cheers.

I’m okay guys. I wasn’t evacuated. My home is still there.
This photo is of the smoke contrasting with the smog.
Makes your sinuses hurt just looking at it.
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.
