I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

new play. Revision of something I did earlier in the year - a bit of a departure from anything I’ve tried to tackle in the last ten years. Gonna throw it up on NPX for grins - would love your feedback.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

What other option is there, but a biker handshake

No spoilers, but the new Mission impossible has a very funny and satisfying biker handshake at the end. Got a big laugh from the audience. Everyone loves em!

I voted for her and all my objections were about policy. And this is true of almost everyone I know who voted for her. Come on, man.

I was crazy enough. Also, director’s cut or not, still a bad movie.
