So I’ve consulted with a couple people and there seems to be no easy fix to my weird problem. There are a couple of odd characters that appear in places where they’re not wanted; it’s legible but annoying and I apologize. This requires a whole new redesign to fully solve the issue. Thank you all… Continue reading

Essay: Size Does Matter
Yes, of course, size matters to Donald. It matters more than anything. That’s why he’s always showing us just how truly small he is. Here’s the truth: No one wanted to go to Trump’s inauguration. He couldn’t even give the tickets away. He’s not an inspiring figure unless you mean inspiring outrage. He’s insulted just… Continue reading

Because of this gig I will stop writing my weekly column and have put Cultish on hiatus until 2017. The Congressman is not running for re-election, so my job ends in… Continue reading

Essay: Ageless
Steam from my sobs plume around my head as I rifle through my pockets. I can’t find my bus pass! Panic consumes me. What am I going to do? The streetcar I’m supposed to take creeps up King Street on this wintry weekend before Halloween. What did I do with it?! I’m here in Toronto… Continue reading
What I Have to Say in the Wake of the TAL Episode Airing
I’d like to answer some of the responses I’ve gotten since my story aired on This American Life last week. First off, to the AAers who have accused me of “violating the traditions”: Calm down. AA is not a secret society. It’s not the Masons. That cited tradition, a custom really, pertains to AA advertising…. Continue reading

This is from the March 2011 issue of Editor and Publisher. By Rob Tornoe An irreverent yet unassuming humorist, Tina Dupuy, syndicated by Cagle Cartoons, has been making waves in newspapers across the country since starting her weekly column back in 2010.

Actor Tom Ferguson Dead at 65
Tom Ferguson was an actor. You’ve never heard his name. You wouldn’t have recognize him if you sat next to him at a restaurant. He was a B-movie character actor. I used to introduce him as the consummate redneck sheriff in at least five movies with “bikini” in the title. It was an exaggeration, of… Continue reading

The Latest and Greatest…
I got this in an email today: 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… Continue reading
MSNBC’s Killer Cult
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,… Continue reading
Update
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.
