Bio

  • I once wrote an opera, but have since lost the napkin.
  • For a few years in the late 90's I was the world's most successful merchant of certified, award-winning Combat Hamsters (As Seen on TV!).
  • At least until the lawsuits started.
  • Life Lesson No. 4,360: Sell some militant rodents to one lousy dictator who can't follow simple care instructions and all of a sudden INTERPOL considers you an "Illegal Arms Trafficker".
  • After that I sunk all my hamster money into an open range fur-bearing trout farm.
  • Life Lesson No. 5,186: Wet fur makes trout sink.
  • Next was a 40,000 acre Jackelope Ranch.
  • I'm still trying to figure out what the hell they're good for.
  • I once tried to perform a  frontal lobotomy on myself, but the knife slipped.
  • I've never seen Elvis.
  • I'm still a wanted fugitive in Peru, thanks largely to the combat hamster episode(s).
  • I can read ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs in the original Sanskrit.
  • I know why we drive on parkways and park on driveways.
  • In hindsight, those hamsters were worth way more than two easy payments of $199.95 each.

My money's on the AP phone records because, as we all know, this is the only scandal about which the press will actually give a damn.

Ms. Arias makes a great case for retroactive abortion.

Troy Senik, Ed.: There's no amount of shame sufficient.

You're assuming this woman is capable of feeling shame.

What enquiring minds really want to know is whether or not Marshal Epstein has a) any medals on his pants, and b) enough to merit a microphone.

His preliminary results on 330 women aged 18 to 35…

Let's see how they feel in a few more years.

Ought to be titled "How to Behave Like a Good Little Citizen".

Peter Robinson: Talk me out of it--if ever you can, talk me out of it.

I can't.

And I'm contemplating voting for Obama just to hasten the necessary inevitable circumstance "of rare and extraordinary public excitement."

Yeah...ok.:  So why do they need geniuses and how come the volume results in a two hour wait?

They need 'Geniuses' because Apple's products are inherently complex devices—no matter how easy they are to use—and complex devices fail.  And when they fail, not everyone who owns one will be competent to fix it.

That being said, if they charged the same twenty-nine bucks for a consult at the genius bar as they do for a call to tech support, the line wouldn't hardly ever be two hours long.

15% off one eco-friendly blunt-trauma pet termination?

You can't beat that with a stick!

Dave Carter: For which dispensation we will thank God. 

Yea, verily, and on bended knee.

And should Barack I be deposed this November, it will be a scant matter of months before his apologists and acolytes insist that he was never allowed the freedom/ability to rule as "He" saw fit.

Peter Robinson:  Question two: Has Elizabeth II been a good monarch? Sixty years--sixty years!--of restraint, dignity, and utter devotion to a duty she never sought or, until the abdication of her uncle, Edward VIII, expected to inherit. That question answers itself.

 

And after all that hard work and due diligence, she'll have to hand the monarchy over to this guy:

Charles Allen: And in a pinch, there is always whale oil

I solved this problem a little over four years ago.

James Lileks: And what do we call a civilization that has sacrificed 97% of its energy sources and traded affluence for common discomfort?

Doubleplusgood, that's what.
