Playwright, retired Entertainment Lawyer (used to work for Fox and then for NBC Universal), William Shakespeare fanatic, fan of 1940s pop culture. I write and self-publish Shakespeare parodies, horror sketches, and science fiction-sketches.

I am taking a break from writing horror plays. I cannot write horror after watching one of my best friends die from throat cancer. I am going to work on writing a trilogy of original plays combining commedia del arte and old Hollywood comedies.

I had signed up for two NO KINGS events, but my dog and I were so exhausted after the first event, we could not go to the second event. We DID attend the event in Studio City, which was HUGE - MASSIVE -GIGANTIC. We missed the event at the Burbank library. I apologize for missing that event.

I wish I could see a live stage production of "Dracula: Sabbatt" by Leon Katz, originally performed off-off Broadway in 1970. It was a very experimental version, combining Bram Stoker's story with The Tibetan Book of the Dead. Rhea Pearlman was listed as a member of the cast.

If you hate the Pope because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

As I understand it, the reason why Disney took Kimmel off the air is because one branch of the Disney business wants to aquire another business, and they need Trump's approval because of anti-trust constraints. Everyone is kissing Trump's ass so they can have monopolies.

There is a big line of protesters in front of Disney Studios in Burbank today.

Yesterday, at the park where I walk my dog, I saw something very unusual. A man was walking two goats on leashes.

I am digusted by all the rumors about Paramount acquiring Warner Bros. If that happens, I hope they both go broke (and they probably will).

Is Trump waiting for the 2026 midterms to be over before he pardons Ghislaibe Maxwell?

You owe Matthew Dowd an apology.

The thing Trump did that bothers me the LEAST was dodging the draft. The U.S. would have been better off if EVERYONE had dodged the draft during the Vietnam years because that war (which we lost) never did anyone any good. I didn't need to dodge the daft, because my draft number was over 300.

I visited the Museum of Religion in Washington D.C. once. The day I was there, the museum was asking visitors if they thought the Bible advocatedfreedom of religion. Most visitors said, "yes." Anyone who thinks the Bible advocates freedom of religion has never read the Bible.

If you're a reporter, please stop referring to RFK Jr and his cronies as "vaccine skeptics." They're not skeptical. Skepticism would be fine. Skeptics look at evidence and can be persuaded.

These people are extremist anti-vaccine cranks, and that's how news organizations should describe them.

Nothing is 100% safe. I knew someone who had a bad Guillain-Barre related reaction to a flu shot, but he fully recovered. I still get a flu shot every year, because flu shots are safer than the flu. You have to play the odds. The odds favor vaccines.

The Senate grilled HHS Secretary RFK jr today. He was called a a charlatan and a liar.

If he stays in office and guts our childhood vaccine program he will be a serial killer. He is tremendous danger us all

Spencer Kuvin, Epstein's victims' lawyer, says the FBI interviewed 40+ girls, some just 14, and prepared a 54-count indictment. Then came the secret plea deal that let Epstein walk. Those interviews are in the files. Kuvin says Alan Dershowitz scoured the girls' MySpace pages to smear them as liars.

There should be a service where you could pay to get a phone call immediately as soon as Trump dies. I want to know right away.

I must own at least 20 anti-Trump t-shirts. I wear a clean one every day, all the time, except when I am going to a formal event. I am retired, so I do not have to worry about work-related dress codes.

When I was a kid in the 1950s, I used to see a cartoon parody of Red Riding Hood. The wolf is on trial, and at the end he says, "I 'll go straight - straight to grandma's house! This was NOT the Loony Tune "Trial of Mr. Wolf. It was definitely a different cartoon. Does anyone remember this?
