It’s a *@%# Shame Day!

Shame on you! You know that thing you did? That horrible, rotten thing? You should be ashamed!

This is your chance to feel good about being ashamed. Wallow in it all day. Enjoy your shame. That way you won’t have to feel guilty the other 364 days of the year.

Wait a minute, though. You say you don’t have anything to be ashamed of?

Holy purgatory! What’s wrong with you? If you’re not ashamed of something—then your life is too *&^% boring!

You need to do something shameful today!

Steal a kiss. Sleep with the head of the CIA. Eat the ears of the ears off your kids’ chocolate Easter bunnies—before Easter and possibly before you buy them. Date a Republican.

And if you don’t? It’ll be a shame.

The Santa Conspiracy

The Santa Conspiracy

I know I just ran a comic the other day about Fox News. (Or rather Foxy News.) But don’t worry. I’m not going to make a habit of this..

Last Kiss will always be more about wacky relationships and absurd lust than topical events and celebrities. (Hmm. If I did a Tiger Woods gag I could have both. No. No. Must resist.)

But every once in awhile I do have an opinion and occasionally it escapes into my work.

And, yes, I have a very, very low opinion of Fox News. But, I have a pretty low opinion of most TV news. I’m a former newspaper reporter. And the only way most underpaid newspaper reporters can get through the day is by telling themselves that TV reporters are overpaid bums who just report headlines, stand in front of car crashes and smile.

Of course, this is an incredibly broad over-generalization. In fact, it’s like something you’d hear on a 24-hour news broadcast…that fills its time with opinions, sensationalism and fluff.

I know…I’m ranting. Sorry. Next week we’re back to just funny. No axes will be ground. No soap boxes will be mounted. In the meantime, if you want a soap box of your own–leave a comment!
