Digression from relevant topics, yes. But I can’t pass up commenting on Whitney Pastorek’s gem in the Year-End Review issue of Entertainment Weekly. Can’t find the piece on EW’s incomprehensible website (probably another sign I’m old), but this thoughtful person posted it online. If you want to take a look without the link, follow the…
So now it’s all Clinton and McCain. But last week it was all Obama and Huckabee. Tell me again why we care what 1 million registered voters in New Hampshire think? (I mean, aside from the cute TV footage of the quaint town with 12 voters voting.) I mean, Nevada has one million registered voters.…

It seems like there’s a giant pile of things that are about to fall off the desk if I don’t at least give ’em a mention … so here ya go, in no particular order: The Gay & Lesbian Community Center of So. Nevada is hosting a Democratic presidential candidate debate tomorrow (Thurs.) at the…
While I’m not a Hollywood writer, I am still very much in support of the writers’ strike. As a writer myself, I can’t help but feel solidarity with those trying to get a fair shake.
