Holy shit, Trump’s call into Fox and Friends is fucking amazing, and completely terrifying

By Mark | April 26, 2018

President Donald Trump called into his favorite television show, Fox and Friends, this morning. I’m sure some who saw the segment will say that he did an admirable job of “reclaiming” the narrative, or “reframing” the various scandals swirling around him, or some such thing.

Spending Halloween alone, my heart beating a million times a minute, drowning in a sea of candy wrappers

By Mark | October 31, 2016

Jackson Hole, Wyoming, having won the bid to host Monkey Power 18, exceeds expectations

By Mark | October 20, 2013

I’ve been in Wyoming these past few days, at the annual meeting of my one-day-a-year band, the Monkey Power Trio. This, I believe, was our 18th session. It was neither the worst, nor the best. All things considered, I’d say that it was positive. Many laughs were had. No one cried. No one screamed. No […]
