I’m two weeks away from launching my web opus: USofAnderson.com—hence my recent hiatus from the blogging world.
It’s a project that has consumed me like a room full of puppies, vicious puppies gnawing my ankles like KFC chicken wings, for nearly three years.

It was just over a year ago that the RNC came to town and gave our
strippers good money, Sarah Palin infused Mall of America department
stores with a stimulus package, and I told the singer-songwriter Five
for Fighting—who played a few songs for Norm Coleman at one RNC
party—that I loved his music. (It is good dental office music...you

I have a distinct childhood memory of sitting in the back
seat of my family’s Volvo station wagon on a July Saturday night on Highway 8 and listening to Prairie Home Companion. Having fully exhausted myself from a day of

Oh, how my Echo Park neighborhood—home of Dodger Stadium—weeps. Slugger and stooge Manny Ramirez has tested positive for a banned substance
