Please Explain: The Foot Fetish

Look, we all have our own sexual turn-ons. Some people like to dress up like babies, while others like to watch hot babes crush insects or rodents under their high-heeled shoes. Yeah, these are really f-ing weird, but these type of fetishes are only desired by a very few.
I have a better understanding of body [...]

The Cynic and Senator Obama

This is the title of an excellent essay written by the all-world writer, Charles Pierce, in the June issue of Esquire magazine. I highly recommend you pick it up. In 2004, Pierce wrote a piece on John Kerry that almost made me like the Senator, as it came close to even humanizing the guy. [...]

Meet Your AL MVP—So Far

If before the season you thought that Carlos Quentin would be the best player in the AL—I tip my cap to you. I guarantee you MLB didn’t think so, since he isn’t even on the all-star ballot. I guarantee you the White Sox didn’t think this would be the case, as they most [...]

Blow-up Dolls in the Clubhouse

In case you might have missed it, during a recent downturn some White Sox player(s) took slump busting to a different level. They put a couple of blow-up dolls in their visiting clubhouse in Toronto. Well, it was no big deal to the beat writers from Chicago, as they realize that it was [...]

Get Your Freak-on-mics

Recently I was booked to perform in a small Midwestern city which has had a serious economic downturn because of a loss of automotive-related plant closings. All the booking agent told me was that the one-night show would take place in a rowdy bar. Well, when I pulled up to the venue, I [...]
