I write horror and crime fiction, live in Brooklyn and love cooking and martial arts. My wife is the actress Linda Jones and our dog is half pit, half Dutch shepherd and all clown. Though I may wince, you really can choose any pizza toppings you like.

This guy thought he’d never have to answer for his actions. There’s a lot of that going around. We have to hold ALL of them accountable.

Rachel Maddow did a piece years ago about a major PR firm that had a roster of the most evil clients—I wonder if it was Edelman.

History has taught me once shoes appear in a shitty leader's news cycle, it's the beginning of their end.

Ferdinand Marcos' wife's shoe collection. The shoe thrown at George W. Bush. And now Ofputin is forcing his lower demons to wear ill-fitting footwear for the lulz.

Fingers crossed.
