Let's just say my Entourage reboot where Vinnie Chase is replaced by Vinnie Price has hit a snag, in the sense that no one wants pay for or watch it.

I'm excited to announce that I am endorsing Craig Jeffries for LA City Council district 6! While he has done some unspecified work for something called The Goebbels Initiative & I've never looked at him above his eyebrows, I am confident that he is the progressive voice we need working for our city!

The Boomers spent my entire childhood telling me how evil genocide & fascism were, just over & over, and now they're like, "Actually, it's cool!". It feels a lot like that Kids in the Hall sketch where the guy's like, "Never put salt in your eyes. Never put salt in-- Always put salt in your eyes!"

Naomi and I are about to head out to the Riyadh Comedy Festival! We’re not performing, but we couldn’t miss this line-up, probably doing the best sets of their lives! GPS says the drive is 137 hours and “you can’t drive through an ocean; please don’t do this” so we better get going!
