Hypocrisy is great fodder for comedy.

Christmas is a stocking stuffed with sugary goodness.

Wheel of Fortune was an important SAT prep for me.

It's much easier to make jokes about sensitive issues if there is some dissent, some conflict.

I love the excess of Christmas. The shopping season that begins in September, the bad pop star recordings of Christmas carols, the decorations that don't know when to come down.

I was way too hyperactive to study for long. I would freak out, then crash, then be too tired to read or write. I really should have had less sugar.

I have a dream, and a plan, to combine the commercial possibilities of Valentine's Day with the substance and meaning of black history month. I call it: Blackentine's Day.
