It can Happen To You Be Warned

I swore I would never do it, and I’ve been very successful thus far. As I was growing up, I promised all the creatures of Heaven, Hell, and every other world now living and dead that I would never become my father.  I have certified documents, signed and notarized, from all three of my children …

Things I Learned From My Mother

I was attending my local writing seminar and was shocked. As the group read their submissions almost all of the writers, who chose to share something, were writing their memoirs. I never thought of that. Sure, we have all had some interesting experiences, but none of us have ever been president or eaten five-hundred chicken …

We Hold These Truths To Be In Need Of An Explanation

The Declaration of Independence clearly states that all men, women, and children have inalienable rights.

So I Unpacked My Adjectives… And Threw Them Away

Boy! Talk about your moral dilemmas. I am shocked, appalled and very confused. As a writer I understand I can be slightly controversial, and as a comedian I understand I have to be careful, in this age of political correctness, not to offend anybody, but I never realized I was diverting from the path of …

Business Opportunity

I have decided I’m going into business. Even now I am wooing venture capitalists, writing business plans, and coming up with innovative ways to avoid paying taxes. (Thanks Mr. President) Don’t panic future investors, I already have my product. I wanted to say this up front in case you think I’m like that woman and …
