I have long had a dream of making a scale model puppet table of the Walker Sculpture Garden. It would be the size of a card table and all the tiny sculptures would be manipulated by levers and fingers and wind-ups and what not. The bunny would dance and the horse would gallop and the cherry would roll up and down the spoon. This is on the list ( Read more... )

Dear Veterans -

Sorry that the human race is so fucking stupid that the armed forces exist.
Glad you lived through it.
Hope you're ok.

It's Sunday, the ComedySportz theater is dark and quiet except for the stupid Christmas music streaming. I am sitting here getting press releases sent out and decorating the collection box for the ComedySportz Food Drive that I've organized for four years (side note: http://tinyurl.com/CSZfooddrive).

Well well! Karl Rove is stepping down. I guess that means President Bush is about to become a real boy.

Charles Taylor pled not guilty at the Hague and boycotted his trial. How come you don't burst into flames or have snakes come out of your mouth when you demonstrate that kind of gall?

Ok, I don't care if you hate gays, but I'm not going to let you make a blanket statement about it. I want you to meet with each and every gay person in the world and find something despicable about them. It's not going to be easy: a lot of them have really busy schedules and some of them are in the closet. But no one said being a hater was going ( Read more... )

I never understand the political move of not talking. The administration was mad at Pelosi for going to Syria is what made me think of this. How would you ever resolve anything by not talking? It just seems like an idiotic dick-waving sort of move. Grand scale childish and deliberately unproductive. Of course I'm notoriously bad at strategy. I ( Read more... )
