Thank You, Mario

I step aside today to honor the poet who put pen to paper for me. Mario, I am humbled by your exquisite beauty. Thanks is too small a word for the gratitude I feel. m Subject: Arizona loves Margaret Cho the american monologue a woman stands trapped in a peninsula and through the sole passage […]

Shriners and Showgirls

Ugly. Is irrelevant. It is an immeasurable insult to a woman, and then supposedly the worst crime you can commit as a woman. But ugly, as beautiful, is an illusion. A matter of taste, a whim, an eye, a beholder, an opinion, a spin, light crossing the frame, paint, projection. The moment. Context. Not to […]

R.I.P. Charlie Shannon

That last time I saw you was maybe three years ago at CJ’s open mike at Lucy’s Laundromat on Sunset. I said, “Tell that brother of yours I should have married him when I had the chance.” Way back then, you hadn’t yet come to California, your brother and I were together, sweet and young, […]

Potty Mouth

You must be very careful about food. I don’t even remember what I ate, but the last 48 hours I have been violently projectile vomiting absolutely everything in the world. I found socks that I had lost in the dryer, keys to my first apartment, a dime, those Chloe sunglasses with the rhinestone heart, Corey […]

Thank You, Dr. King

Take the word “Vietnam” and change it to “Iraq.” Change the word “communist” to “terrorist,” and this speech would be absolutely applicable to today’s political storm. Thank you, Dr. King, for everything, and then some. Published on Thursday, January 15, 2004 by CommonDreams.org Declaration of Independence from the War in Vietnam Delivered by Dr. Martin […]

Not Again

Bush done did it again. What is this fool’s problem? He obviously is wrongheaded on purpose, as if his advisors like Karl “Killa, but not from Manila” Rove are trying to make him look like an even bigger idiot so that they will not have to endure another term with his dumb ass. On the […]

I Love You. All Y’all.

I am gloating. People be trying to beg us to take their email addresses off the site because they have been deluged with hate mail in response to their hate mails to me. I want to say, “You reap what you sow,” but now I have all kind of love for the because it is […]

Stupid People

I think there is a shitstorm brewing, and it kind of went my way a bit, but I was in the studio recording my new record, so I missed the downpour. What I can see is that there are really stupid people in this country and then when you point out how stupid they are, […]

Racist, Homophobic, Misogynistic Right Attacks Margaret

Margaret received these letters immediately following this post and this post from the right wing website, Free Republic. We originally posted the emails with all the names and return addresses intact, but eventually had to remove them because we became aware they were being contacted by many of Margaret’s outraged fans. Free Republic, which a […]

Magical Night with MoveOn.org

The moveon.org moved the crowd and the minds of all the people involved. I met Chuck D – Chuck DDDDDDDD!!!!!!!! We went to the soundcheck at Hammerstein, earlier in the day, and saw Chuck D and The Fine Arts Militia rocking a new version of “Fight the Power.” He is beautiful and the terrific strength […]
