Leather Desk Set

If Clinton was the first black president, Bush was the last cowboy president and Obama is the first Muslim woman president, who's next? Some would say Jindal is the next conservative white president.

Labels!

The E-Brain won't weigh in on innerspecies politics, leaving me to get out my box of pencils again.

Is it time to turn to the Great Father and Great Mother? What, O Mighty Ancestors, am I to smell on the wind and feel on the soles of my feet?

I am a lost adult child, feeling useless, unguided. The woods are not singing with me in joy. I give to the mosquito, the tick and the deer fly, yet I feel unwanted.

You have asked me to write a comedy like McHale's Navy or M*A*S*H that takes place along the borders of Afghanistan and Pakistan, telling humourous tales from multiple cultural angles (military/government headquarters, local villages, news reporters, international consumer electronics shows, random coffee houses around the world, etc.) but am I not too old and out of touch to write crisp noncynical satire? Why is Doonesbury not sufficient?
