So. I wrote this article on The People’s Library for the Princeton Alumni Weekly.
There are many issues for me to work through here, starting with my hair & gut in that photo, the accompanying ad for Bermuda and Princeton- Occupy - WhotheFamI… but, whatever, deal with it.
p.s. Obv not posting as much here lately, so sadly, check Twitter & Bookface for updates.

Bill Hicks would have turned 50 years old on December 16.
A few years ago, I was honored with the second (and last) Bill Hicks Spirit Award for Thought Provoking Comedy. It remains one of my proudest and most humbling achievements.
Many more qualified people will talk about his life and work and vision in the coming days. I’ll simply add this:
In a time when millions worldwide are willing and able to speak obvious truth to entrenched power, to confront dangers physical, financial, & spiritual to do so, and to find unique, creative, personal, passionate, and real means of expressing their views on the fate and future of our collective existence… we are all possessed by the Spirit of Bill Hicks.

Tune in Thursdays at 4pm to the The Dylan Ratigan Show, MSNBC, for more
My co-host abandoned me last night - sniff - and I was flying solo on our PRN show. Actually pretty happy with how it turned out. Take 30 mins and have a listen.

Talking ’bout: Princess Cain perhaps leaking the harassment story himself, the pursuit of The Publicity, er, Presidency, our crazies being better than their crazies, and being the comedian of the 99% and the 1%…
Just found out my book was mentioned in latest issue of (official) Occupied Wall Street Journal and tonight I’m talking at a business school ethics symposium. #CanIWearASuitWhileSleepingInATent?
… but you cannot hide. I’m clearly in this guy’s head. My joke/point remembered…
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
If I can make just one person remember just one joke… well, I’m not that good.
It’s missing the sweet intro from Dan Ariely - “Jeff is a consultant to all the major financial institutions, both on Wall Street and Main Street, and a pioneer in wealth creation whose innovative ideas helped spur the financial revolution of the last decade…” - but you get the point.
Starring moi… A little earpiece issue and this video cut off their nice plug for the Get Rich Cheating show, but, nonetheless, watch, enjoy, and tune in Thursdays at 4pm, MSNBC.
Tonight (Tuesday Oct 11) - NYC - with Dan Ariely - The Pit Theatre (123 E. 24th St) - Info
Tomorrow (Wednesday Oct 12) - Washington, DC - with Dylan Ratigan - Riot Act Theater (801 E Street NW) - Info
& then I’ll be doing regular stand-up (& by “regular,” I mean, “awesome”) through Saturday at Riot Act in DC.
Come laugh, learn, eat, nap, heckle, love, cry.
From the TED blog… here.
A little college paper review of my performance for the Michigan College Dems Convention.
n stuff…
Hey people looking for an explanation… I was just bumped from The Dylan Ratigan Show on MSNBC today because they needed to deal with some important-er stuff. No worries, will be back on soon, watch this space for details! Thanks!
Just a few things & thoughts…
- Tonight, Friday, I’ll be presenting a piece about cheating at a TED talk in NYC. Track it here.
- Dropped by #OccupyWallStreet last night. Pic. Hope it grows & I can contribute positively.
- Falling asleep night of Troy Davis execution, spit this out on my phone/modern notepad:
“The struggle for true justice is eternal, universal, & cruel, but to cede ground to the cruelty is to abandon those who’ve struggle across time.”
- Laughed at this.
