There are far too many post-Bill Hicks comedians who borrowed his over-the-top sex obscenities and cussin' about Republicans, without really searching for and finding their own voice.

I like books. Not everyone does.

I will mercilessly trash any comments I deem unworthy. So if you're going to be offensive, you damn sure better be funny.
I may feed the trolls if they make it worth my while to do so. Here's a hint: I don't like typos. Run with it!
