Tweets From A Night’s Event
I watched a few minutes of KCAL’s on-line coverage of downtown
L.A. last night, and I began to Tweet, because it was more than I
could bear:
In their coverage of the L.A.P.D. clearing the Occupy L.A.
protesters, the local newscasters are practically begging for
violence.
“Looks like emotions are running a little bit higher between the
police and the protesters now, Bob what do you think?”...
Occupied By Thoughts
Lately now, I feel like Norma Rae, when she tells her husband,
who complains about her busy schedule, that he can have sex with her
while she does the dishes. Except I am not a labor organizer, I don’t
have a husband, and I really need to concentrate when I do the dishes.

spinning my wheels. I hear a lot of people make...
I Was Just Talking About A Balaclava
I was lucky enough to work at the Crest Theater in Sacramento,
California recently. I talked to a woman who described herself as a,

everyone that I meet, although...
Chef Inspired Soups

how chock full of fat and salt they are. That too may have been “Chef
Inspired.” I don’t know. I didn’t even notice the sign the first...
In The Know
People sometimes think I’m well informed, because I’m lucky
enough to be heard on NPR’s ‘Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me.” For those of
you who don’t know, it’s a weekly news quiz show. I get to be a part
of a panel of three, about once a month or so. I lose a lot, even
though I study the news on the weeks that I’m on. Although, the study
sessions are a bit brief sometimes. How much I know...
