Hamburger Heavens
So just when my pal Ken Levine and I are making lunch plans, he starts blogging about his favorite hamburgers…and two of his favorites (Five Guys and Cassell's) turn out to be two of my favorites. Matter of fact, I agree with all his evaluations except… What he says about the Apple Pan in L.A. […]

Someone tell the lady in my GPS that it is NEVER worth getting on ANY freeway to save two minutes going ANYwhere. 16:29:56 I wish TV writing worked like iPhones. I could write a show and later when I figure out how to make it better, send out an update. 16:43:09 […]
Lord of Likeness
Congrats to Tom Richmond, caricaturist extraordinaire, for taking home a Reuben Award this evening at the National Cartoonist Society shindig in Las Vegas! It's not easy to draw TV and movie parodies of MAD magazine where the bar was set by the likes of Drucker and Davis. You gotta be damn good and obviously, Tom […]

I happen to like Vice-President Joe Biden. Yes, he occasionally makes verbal gaffes — though at least half the time when I see one reported, it doesn't seem to be as big a deal as folks are making it out to be. And even if they were all foot-in-mouth moments, he averages about one every […]

Thomas Friedman presents an interesting view of Barack Obama…as a man who is very good at being President of the United States and not so good at making people aware of his accomplishments in that job. And I'll quote one paragraph that I think is especially true… "Obamacare is socialized medicine," says the Republican Party. […]

Things 2 Buy (But Hurry!)
The Comic Art Professional Society is a Los Angeles-based organization of folks who create comics. It was founded in 1977 by Don Rico, Sergio Aragonés and myself and it's still going strong. At the moment, it's having its annual auction to raise money…and the way it works is that half goes to help defray the […]

Mitt Romney's proposals for how to "repeal and replace Obamacare" are a little vague and surely deliberately so. But Jonathan Cohn has done an analysis of what is known and says that most of them point to millions of people losing coverage. He quotes David Cutler, an economist at Harvard and former consultant to President […]

Trump as Mitt's running mate? Good. That will balance out Romney's image as a vapid rich guy who likes to fire people and is out of touch. 14:48:46 […]
Today's Video Link (and Another Soup Can)
I'm not back. It just looks that way. I'm still battling a deadline and you'll know when I finish because regular posting will resume. Or if you're in Southern California, maybe you'll hear me snoring. People often ask me — in fact, I think I'm asked a version of it in the video below — […]
History Bluff
A number of Conservative authors have been selling an odd view of the Civil Rights movement in this country, especially the gains made by blacks in the sixties. They give an awful lot of credit to Republicans for liberating minorities and saving them from those danged racist Democrats. It's true there were racist Democrats but […]
