Musings, reflections and self-arrogance from the now-former editor of a small weekly newspaper, And, occasionally, even something interesting!

Fourteen years in the journalism biz, but don't let that stereotype about commie pinko bleeding heart liberal journalists fool you - I manage to disappoint conservatives and liberals alike. Whatever happened to common sense and rational thought? At least I'm not a neo-fascist, neo-Nazi or other political extremist. In fact, just about my entire political, social and metaphysical outlook can be explained in the movie "Blazing Saddles." My journalistic idols? Carl Kolchak (thus the profile pic) and Irwin M. Fletcher. As for my professional choice, it beats retail, restaurant management and scrambling around to fund graduate school. I'm also pretty smug after 30 years - I knew back in 1976 that everyone else would come around and agree with me that the Electric Light Orchestra was cool. Just listen to those Monster.com, Volkswagen and J.C. Penneys commercials.

Yes! Thanks so much for this. I've always loved this guy (though of course not "that" way), but never knew his name.
It seems the Comedy Network has a spy satellite that reports when I sneak off for a snack or something:
"Charlie-November this is Sierra-Sierra: he's gone--Paint it Black. I say again, Paint it Black. Make sure he starts half-way through the riff on rabbis."
So that when I slump back into the sofa, he's always half-done.
Thanks for this on a dull, banal, and smoke-laden Friday full of fatality reports.
Thanks - Lewis Black makes me feel occasionally glad to be a dumpy, gray-haired, middle-aged, terminally-frustrated-with-the-world man myself.
