It's like I always say, as long as there are women there's going to be trouble. (Of course I don't mean you, sweetheart.)

IF IT'S THURSDAY IT MUST BE BERLIN

There's a reason why J.D. Salinger went into hiding. It's a jungle out there when writers have to go forward and meet the public. Writing is something we love to do, selling is something we have . . .

As if to prove that our culture is becoming even more brutish, Maxim magazine has just released a poll that finds Sarah Jessica Parker "the unsexiest woman alive."

Coming to a radio or TV network near you - the sounds of silence, at least from conservatives like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.

John McCain is surely the dullest candidate for president we've had in years and all signs point to his defeat come November.
