Doing it Well Means Doing The Work…Even When It's Fun
June 29, 2011
Sometimes we look at famous comedians and assume they were just born funny and that they don’t have to work at it. In the movie Comedian, Jerry Seinfeld works his material over and over and over. Similarly, I spoke with author and columnist Dave Barry and he admitted that writing humor was terribly difficult and […]

Along those lines, only once in a millennium does something happen like the Anthony Weiner fiasco. For a politician named Weiner to […]
