About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

Thank you for coming to my web page. It's very nice of you to pay attention to little old me. I'm a writer and comedian living in Los Angeles. I'm a political comic who has very little patience. Feel free to check out my semi-daily blog where I will give you the straight dope about what is going on. That's something the cool kids would say right? I'm not a cool kid. I'm more like an Ethiopian dipped in bleach. Well I've got to go before I develop a kidney infection or some sort of cyst. I'm not sure if that's possible, but it could happen. You never know..."425" height="350" This is me in a showcase at Yuk Yuk's in Toronto. Enjoy it, or bad things will happen.
