Hi. I’ve put up two short excerpts from my book Bad Moon Rising, for the benefit of CSPAN viewers and others, yonder at the Table of Contents. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for visiting. While a timeworn VHS tape of “The Natural” plays in the background, I’m wrangling with some HTML and putting the finishing touches on a book excerpt that will be on the site soon. Stay tuned, and be sure to check out the movie.

Every week on Bleecker Street in New York City, former Daily Show head writer Lizz Winstead hosts “Shoot The Messenger,” a send-up of morning news shows. Afterwards is “Thinking & Drinking,” in which she interviews writers. Here’s me.

In the meantime, controversy brews over last week’s “Thinking & Drinking” appearance by Moe and Tracie of the giant Jezebel blog. For writing in frank detail about their depressingly empty sex with random Williamsburg hipsters, they’ve been hailed by young bloggers as feminist heroes. (I don’t really keep up on this stuff, but from what I can figure, these days just about everyone but Joseph Fritzl is eligible for the title.)

Their encounter with “Shoot The Messenger” has been tempestuous.
