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… Continue reading

Stuck on the Rosa Parks Freeway
This was published in the LA Daily News last Sunday, but for some reason never ended up on the website. So I can now post it here. Enjoy! George W. Bush, equates dissention with disloyalty. The same is not true to those that can be called Angelenos. Complaining about Los Angeles is actually a city… Continue reading

America’s Stonehenge, North Salem, NH
When this country was founded Americans got to decide their history. They decided that Christopher Columbus discovered the new world. While the Canadians attribute it to John Cabot (link) , since he was English – these United States decided that an obscure Spanish explorer would be better suited as a symbol of independence from England….

Finished in New Hampshire
Fun show. Doing two shows in New Hampshire is the equivalent doing a half a show in Rhode Island. Anyway, I’m going to Americas Stonehenge today. It’s on my way back to Boston. Some people think its a Bronze Age temple – others that it was built by Native Americans. Then there’s the theory that… Continue reading
Hunter S. Thompson RIP
Fox News was reporting the story about Thompson shooting himself. One of the commentators/reporters said he would have made a great blogger. I AM a blogger and I find that to be a dig. That’s like saying that Lewis and Clark would have made great Disneyland tour guides. Christopher Columbus would been a great manager… Continue reading
I know the conversation is dead when we start talking about the weather…
I went to Wharton, Texas for Christmas to be with my grandparents. A week before I called my grandmother. Me: “Grama, it looks like we are going to have snow on Christmas Eve.” Grama: “Where did you hear such a thing?” Me: “I read it on the internet.” Grama: “You know better than to trust… Continue reading
Review of 2004
The top documentaries of the year were Fahrenheit 9/11 and Supersize Me. Leading a confused public to wonder, “Wait, the skinny one is in Supersize Me?” In January we still had 9 democratic presidential candidates. Governor Howard Dean was in the lead. Then he screamed. Then there was Kerry. Immediately after taking the lead, because… Continue reading
Jesus wants you to read this blog…
You what we need in this country? Some extremist Hindus. There would be militants murdering ranchers and monkey wrenching slaughter houses. They could high jack elections with their vegetarian agendas. “We’re voting for moral values, every cow is precious!” They could have protests about teaching reincarnation in the public schools. “You can’t teach-a without Shiva!”… Continue reading
Confessions of a Junkie
I’ve been a political junkie since I was 15 years old. I was seduced by newspapers that were unthinkingly made available to my impressionable young mind. I read things, formed an opinion on them and then I was hooked. It quickly progressed. Soon I was reading books. Then I got an internship at a congressman’s… Continue reading
Vote or Die
I live in a precinct where there are less than 250 registered voters. I know you’re thinking, “She must live on the outskirts of Killdeer, North Dakota.” Nope, I live right in the middle of the second largest city in the country. I live in Los Angeles. I don’t care that I live among the… Continue reading

Clyde was never taught not to mouth. So if you can imagine a 100-pound dog wrapping his teeth around your arm, it’s a… Continue reading
