MC in today’s Creative Loafing newspaper
Hey, my article on Chief Abbott (Cop-out in Copland) appears in print today on page 10 of Creative Loafing newspaper. I’d love to hear any and all comments (pro and con) about my suggestion of firing or requesting the resignation of Chief Abbott — so feel free to post your comments here. If you want […]
SNNers strut their (way) sexy stuff (FIXED THE VIDEO LINK!)
I’m not really sure what it is with me and SNN Local News 6, but I’ve apparently got a jones for the station I just can’t shake. Creative Loafing unearthed this KILLER video— slog past the parts with Justin Mosely pulling the crazies and wait until the tunes light up and they — Mosely, Stein, […]
Cop-out in copland
In cop-land, cops make a huge deal about “having” someone’s back. “I’ve got your back” means “I’m with you; I’m not going anywhere; you can count on me,” and cops use it everywhere – whether it’s on a sweat-drenched basketball court on their day off or in a busted-up alley chasing down a jacked-up and […]
Local journalist shows true grit … and commitment to news
I opened Creative Loafing last week and found a really important story — one that I think should have been the cover story instead of the chicken story that got that exposure instead.
The gg Monologues put the “fun” in profundity!
Amy Knapp, the creator of The gg Monologues, enjoys a good laugh. An alter ego of sorts for Knapp, her character, “gg” is an investment advisor who advises clients on financial matters by day and “writes” a column about the love and life matters of a single Sarasota girl by night.

Sarasota’s No Stones Zone
Todd Ruger reports in today’s Sarasota Herald Tribune that “city leaders have not yet decided how to get to the bottom of the mishandled investigation of an officer seen kicking a handcuffed man on video.” What, precisely, is there to get to the bottom of when it comes to Abbott? There’s nothing to get to […]
Last night … Socrates and Sex steamed up the Sarasota News & Books!
Here are my notes from last night’s talk at Sarasota News & Books … I also spoke extemporaneously a bit about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan … but the text below is the gist of what was discussed.
Meet me at McCurdy’s! free, frisky, female fun! (guys can come too!)
Tonight, at long last, I’m going to witness the ALLEGEDLY über-funny local actress/comedienne/hipster — Sarasota’s own Christine Alexander! I say “allegedly” because a) I’m a closet fan of comedian Kathy Griffin’s alleged comedy approach and b) because I’ve never actually seen Alexander perform and of course, can’t say for fact that she’s funnier than a […]
