Former President George W. Bush was in Calgary this week, in his first foreign visit as a former head of state. There, he announced the subject of the book he will be writing.

McCain is Doing Bob Dole’s Material
After Senator Bob Dole lost to President Bill Clinton he went on the Tonight Show and said,”I slept like a baby. Woke up crying every two hours.” Hysterical. Bob Dole – out of touch and old – but funny. Last night on the Tonight Show Senator John McCain told Jay Leno, “I’ve been sleeping like… Continue reading
McCain suspends his campaign…because uhm…yeah…
John McCain announced that he is cancelling the first presidential debate on Friday night so he can work on the economy. What a tool.
Oh Eight! GOP Debate!
Hunter S. Thompson used to say that elections are the Super Bowl for political junkies. That’s must be why immediately following debates the question that is asked is, “Who won?” I know we call it a debate, which denotes discussion and considering opposing arguments. That could lead to a winner. What we really have is… Continue reading

Don of Mass Hysteria
Don Imus says that he’s not a racist. Perhaps he’s not. Perhaps he just did it for a paycheck. Perhaps he’s just the ”˜gay for pay’ of bigots. Which is the equivalent of saying, “I’m not a slut ”” I’m a hooker!” Michael Richards, after squawking that his hecklers were ”˜n-gg-rs’ that should be hanged… Continue reading
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
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.

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

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
