Ok so I wrote the following for Deathscribe 2011—which is, for those who came in late, a contest for live performances of original short – horror themed – radio plays. And since your friend and humble narrator was once again  rejected. Which is getting to be an annual event where this particular contest is concerned. So anyway, Until

Ok, it sucks to have to write what I’m about to write and to be to completely honest, I suck for having decided to write it. But there are things that need to be said in no uncertain terms and things that simply cannot be societally tolerated under any circumstances and you and I are

Guys, I have a question and it’s not really an earth-shattering question but it’s been on my mind so here goes: It’s weird that We Are the Night (aka Wir Sind Die Nacht) is an anti feminist, anti lesbian, lesbian vampire film … isn’t it? I mean, it is odd, that a pair of screenwriters and a

Ok so I just saw on Time’s “The Page” that  Tavis Smiley is going to be on Meet The Press this Sunday and in response I couldn’t help but think back to his SOTBU nonsense and post election appearance nonsense [more to my sister-in-law’s annoyed complaint’s re Smiley’s  idiotic post election commentary actually] and right
