Nurse: Doctor, come quick! She's got writer's block.
Doctor: Ms. Hewitt. Please, tell me your symptoms.
Patient: I feel stuffed up and congested in my head. At time I lose my sense of reality. No clear vision, everything is fuzzy. And an annoying vague voice keeps buzzing in my ears. What can it be...

I never felt much compassion for bugs until the first time I stepped through the doors of the trendy Hollister or Abercrombie & Fitch. Now I can say for sure that I know how a mosquito feels at the first whiff of Deet; how a fly longs to escape when trapped on sticky flypaper; how an ant colony...

As someone who’s made a career (sort of) out of tilting against grammar snobs, it’s hard for me to admit the darker side of my true nature. Yet when I’m honest, there’s no denying it: I have a meanie streak. And it goes way back -- all the way to middle school.

In the summer of 2000, I got a call from Richard Abate, a literary agent then at ICM. He asked, "Do you know who Bernie Mac is?"
Of course I did. Original Kings of Comedy was due in theaters any day, and since Spike Lee had directed is, you couldn't walk down a single street in Brooklyn...

I stumbled across a very disturbing Holodeck program today - it was based around a travelling circus, and while I'm not pointing fingers, I'll just say that the Ringmaster bore more than a passing resemblance to number two - except he was taller, a little more "trim", shall we say, and...

I will be totally honest here. I am five foot seven (seven and half with my walking shoes), and I weigh more than 250 pounds. And, before you ask, no, it is NOT all muscle. I am sure there is lean muscle underneath there somewhere. I am moving my limbs and able to move from point A to point B...

You have got to check out this video! I swear this author captured the truth about being a newly published author. It is like looking in the mirror. Eerily scary and soooo funny at the same time. I have to say that this author knows how to laugh at himself. In a few weeks, I hope I too shall be...

GREENPOINT, Bklyn, July 24...Are the Democrats too hip for the room? In their attempt to be evenhanded, ironic and transparent are they unintentionally undermining Barrack Obama's candidacy?
Or is something more sinister at work?
This is the question that Igor Yopsvoyamatsky posed last night....
