Today I am thankful...
...that my enemies are Christian and not Muslim. Because if they were Muslim my life would be very different. Sam Harris writes: Ayaan Hirsi Ali is the most prominent advocate of free speech and women's rights in the Muslim world,...

Otep
Forgot I snapped this pic on my phone and just ran across it... That's Otep Shamaya, lead singer of the band Otep, at their show Nov. 15 at the Key Club in L.A. Otep said she was dedicating the next...

Ridiculous
From the mailbag: Hi Brian, I, like many others I know, always find it odd that some people in some industries get any compensation at all for work after the work was completed. Builders aren't paid a small fee every...

Creators as owners
Marc Andreessen envisions a new model for the entertainment industry. I'd find it inspiring if I weren't doing it already. It's possible that one good thing that might come out of the strike(s) is that a whole lot of writers...

Mailbag: Hi there, I just wanted to say that from this day forward, every day, I will be praying for you because I know you have alot of talent and passion and one day you will be using your gifts...

This would have been unthinkable in 1988
Lots more fresh video this morning at the United Hollywood YouTube channel. They're really doing a good job with it, using short, well edited clips to provide some historical perspective, demonstrate that the solidarity between WGA and SAG is strong,...

Shhh! The executives are working
I picketed most of the morning of Day 3 at the Warner Bros. gate on Olive Ave. called the "executive gate." In contrast to the industrial character of the other gates, just inside this gate is a quiet, park-like setting...

What's your favorite promotion?
On the picket line, the cast of The Office ridicules the studios' position that a TV show magically becomes a "promotion" when you transmit it (with commercials) on the internet. I'm a dedicated fan of The Office, and not once...

The writers strike
Thanks for asking: --Yes, I'm a member of the Writers Guild of America, and, yes, as a WGA member I'm on strike. But, no, the strike will not have a personal financial impact on me, as WGA-covered work is not...

Ron Paul is batshit crazy
(Just wanted to compare the relative insanity of the emails I will now get from Ron Paul supporters to that of the Christian fundagelical screed-pistles that I generally get. Variety is the spice of life.)...

I don't get it
Kevin Drum seems upset about this: Four years ago Arnold Schwarzenegger took office in the midst of a massive budget crisis after promising voters that he would end our "crazy deficit spending." In true Republican fashion, he did this by...

Blessed are the sick, for they can be exploited
Imagine that in Ronald Reagan's twilight years -- the "long goodbye" of the neurodegenerative disease Alzheimer's -- some opportunistic political hack gained access to Reagan, manipulated a few quotes out of this mentally compromised old man, then penned the book,...
