  • You Vote, You Decide

    Yay – Barack Obama got the Democrat win for the primaries for state senator! In other news… Idol fever has hit my life. Luckily Ron and I took our own advice and waited until they’d weeded out the crowd down to 12 finalists. Ron, in his ethnic excitement, is pulling for the two Hawaiian girls […]

  • I've Still Got It

    I got cruised by a girl last night. Ron and I were at Melrose and were getting up to leave after having late night breakfast before coming back home. We were getting up and bundling up. One of the girls at a table behind us was checking me out and asked Girl: Are you gay? […]

  • School of Rock

    A little bitter this morning because I didn’t get enough sleep (someone call the wah-mbulance). We were up watching School of Rock. There’s a hand ful of ‘family movies’ that actually have enough quality and depth that I won’t mind sharing them with my kids. School of Rock is one such film. Jack Black is […]

  • Super Tuesday, Irish Wednesday

    Don’t vote, don’t bitch. I think radio shows – any political radio show – should ask every caller. Host: Hi, did you vote?Caller: No.Host: Then you don’t get to complain!

  • A Reading From the Book of Debbie

    Paul Rudnick reads from the Gospel of Debbie: Jesus used only five loaves of bread and two fish to feed thousands of people, and it was so beautiful and miraculous, and my brother Ezekiel said, whoa, Jesus has invented canap?s and I said shut up! from The New Yorker

  • Flight of the Bin Ladens

    I’m sure you know by now that immediately after 9/11 while the FAA had grounded every aircraft on American soil, a handful of planes went around the country and picked up members of the Saudi Royal family and prepared to fly them out of the country. This included members of the multi-billionaire Bin Laden family: […]

They’re nice-looking guys, […]
