Vinnie Plays Vegas ... for a buck! Thanks to an Amazon Prime Black Friday deal, you can watch The Con Man of Comedy for a buck for the next few days. It's the documentary I co-wrote and consulted on, about a comedian with some, err, creative means of financing his gambling habit.

Probably needed a classy guy like Lee to play Atlantic City and to offer decor suggestions for the Tower.

Trying a different variant cover as Kickstarter landing page thumbnail. We're calling the fake poster a tribute to Crown International Pictures. Too obscure a reference? Issue #5 campaign here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/dri...

Fox News just told us today's market crash is "a rebirth of the American spirit" because we have been in "a depression of purpose" by making so much money. #UpIsDownBlackIsWhite.

I turned on the hearing late and of course the hour was still early, so didn’t line up the shot glasses to play the Hi Bob game whenever a GOP sympathizer said ‘But her emails’
