THREE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY Eat Drink Laugh at Pangea, Saturday April 5 at 9pm

I know what you're thinking. "Hey, Paul, how come you haven't done any actual writing lately?" Well, what do you think stand-up is? You think I make that shit up onstage?

Besides, I need to put asses in seats. Fifty seats, to be precise. (OK, 40. Ten of those seats are reserved for comedians.) And this blog has gotten 166,922 page views as of this writing. So, if all of you show up, I could sell out Pangea 3,338.44 times! That's 278.20 shows, or enough shows for the next 23.18 years! (Granted, not all of you live in New York City. And I wouldn't want to fly, what with Elon Musk firing all our air traffic controllers. But I digress...)

And, oh yeah, it's Eat Drink Laugh's THREE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY! So there's that. And I hear that "Cher" will be making a special appearance. In fact, there'll be two "Cher"s!

So get your asses down to Pangea next Saturday, April 5 at 9pm! All 50 of them!

I mean, 40.

A Letter to the New York Times

To the Editor:

“These Days, It’s ‘Sexy’ to Be a Republican” is one of the most nauseatingly tone-deaf articles I’ve ever read, even by the Styles section’s admittedly low standards.

Is it “sexy” to cut off funding for USAID, as Trump has done, consigning thousands of poor people to certain death?

Is it “glamorous” for Musk, an unelected private citizen, to arbitrarily fire hundreds of career civil servants and shut down vital government agencies?

Is it “cool” that there have been six plane crashes since Trump took office, that he’s fired people from the already understaffed FAA, that he’s endangered our lives and national security with his cabinet appointments and foreign policy decisions, and that he continues to break the law and violate the Constitution, even as a convicted felon?

I’m not surprised that the people mentioned in this article are all under 30. That means they’re all too young to remember a world before Trump (let alone Nixon and Watergate).

And how could any self-respecting gay man support Trump when he’s made a career of scapegoating trans people?

God help us!
