Funny women are a turn-off
Men are intimidated, research says

Hundreds […]

Ready to Road

January 27th, 2006 · 5 Comments

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 […]

Drive-Thru

January 24th, 2006 · 2 Comments

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

January 23rd, 2006 · 1 Comment

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 strip […]

Smokey and the Habit

January 17th, 2006 · 1 Comment

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 to be healthy. I […]

Do Not … List

January 10th, 2006 · 6 Comments

Some of you may remember this brilliant bit of legislation called The Do Not Call list.
Yeah, our government got together and realized that Americans were getting annoyed by telemarketers. So they made a list, checked it twice and this was going to reduced those phone calls.
Those callers exempt from that call list:
-Non-profit organizations
-Companies you’ve […]

Bribing Missed Doozy

January 9th, 2006 · 2 Comments

The Abramoff scandal isn’t over because he intends to cooperate fully…
I saw Wolf Blizter interview Howard Dean where he said that Abramoff did not bribe any Democrats. That absolutely no Democrats received money from Abramoff. It’s therefore a Republican corruption scandal.

Of course Abramoff didn’t bribe Democrats. Bribing a Democrat in the past 5 years […]

Life is like a box of chocolates…

January 4th, 2006 · 2 Comments

Nothing says “Happy New Year” more to a political humorist than the phrases “GUILTY PLEA” and “cooperates fully.”
It’s music to my ears. Chocolate to my taste buds. Calamine lotion to my bug bites.
Good stuff.
