Well, if you’re out there in the LA area , and you’ve so far neglected to head out to the Irvine Improv to see Marc, you get another chance tonight.  Only a couple of West Coast gigs left before Marc brings his act back to NYC (too bad it isn’t for a new radio show, but I reckon it’s about the best we’ll get – for now, anyway).

Thanks to Molly Ivins’ latest column, I’ve found a new favorite phrase to describe the traditional media (or at least the DC press corps), which she refers to as the “pusillanimous punditry.”  Pusillanimous, indeed, with the exception of Helen Thomas.  In fact, since the fairness doctrine was tossed aside in favor of news for profit, the pusillanimous punditry has been nothing but a perpetually pathetic parade of preposterous pricks performing like prevaricating puppets to prop up piglike politicians.   Except for Mr FK, of course.

It’s Hump Day – you know what to do.
