Why Dumbledore, Harry Potter, and Hermione Are More Relevant Thant Two-Thousand Year-Old Works of Fiction

Carlos Alazraqui — Tue, 05 Jun 2018 17:53:21 +0000

The biggest disappointment in yesterday’s Supreme Court’s decision to allow someone to refuse service to someone else based on “religious freedom” is not that people now have a “right” to do this, it’s that it does not examine the “WHY” they are doing it in the first place. Religious freedom is not an adequate answer […]

I Need A Nap

Carlos Alazraqui — Thu, 15 Mar 2018 20:48:08 +0000

Today is a “no nap” day and I am as worried as a lycanthrope on a full moon! There will be yelling and walls that may be punched, searching for lost keys. Thank goodness I have no access to firearms! At least I went full adult and got to bed at a sensible hour last […]

The Shape of Sycophantry

Carlos Alazraqui — Wed, 17 Jan 2018 18:03:55 +0000

The joke that started a war between friends and my take of The Shape Of Water was this: “What if Hogarth were a woman and ‘The Iron Giant’ had a penis and a nice ass?” Simplistic reduction on it’s face, but in my opinion, not far off. But to one who loved the film, an affront! […]

Hello? Dystopia!

Carlos Alazraqui — Wed, 10 Jan 2018 20:55:59 +0000

I wholeheartedly agree with Seth McFarlane’s assessment that pitting a reality star against a talk show host in the 2020 Presidential Election would be the admission that we would be living in a dystopian world – well – we already do!! I would love to see Kamala Harris as the Democratic Nominee – I would […]

Grove Danger

Okay — I just saw Santa at The Grove, last night, so I am not as bitter as I could be, but it’s all small marshmallows on top of my cocoa. There’s still the reality of the cooling chocolate liquid giving way to sugar regret and the waning flavor of the marshmallows now long gone. […]

Less Moore is More

Hit the road, Jack and don’t ya come around, Roy Moore, Roy Moore! Celebrating a small victory for Doug Jones in Alabama last night – save the “recount” by Count Von Count from Sesame Street. Last night’s Holiday Party was made that much brighter when we heard the news that hate and fear lost! Fear […]

Wind of Change

Carlos Alazraqui — Wed, 06 Dec 2017 17:58:28 +0000

Good morning. California is on fire…..in freaking December. So this holiday season remember to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus by supporting corporations that want to contribute to the warming of the planet, and to candidates who deny the science behind climate change. As Scrooge famously denied when he saw Jacob Marley –“ it must […]

Wednesday Morning Mirth

Carlos Alazraqui — Wed, 29 Nov 2017 18:01:53 +0000

Well, it’s another Wednesday morning in studio at Stephanie Miller Radio and I am releasing all the tension and ire at Trump and his despicable minions – they deserve all the hate we can muster. There has never been a more important, nor relevant time to hate DT. Hate him like a Nazi and The […]

Tom Brady or Jesus?

Carlos Alazraqui — Wed, 22 Nov 2017 18:58:16 +0000

Hey, when is the Jesus Guy going to show up? What’s he waiting for, flames? Collin Hay has it right: “I tried talking to Jesus but he just put me on hold. Said he was swamped by calls this week and could not shake his cold”. I think Jesus is bed ridden with pneumonia!!! I […]

Good God Guns!

Carlos Alazraqui — Wed, 15 Nov 2017 18:13:37 +0000

Good morning all. My first unedited ten minute, in show blog. Here on the set of the Stephanie Miller XM radio show and hold, on – another shooting – crap – I can’t keep up. Tragedy? Hell no! A MATHEMATICAL probability. As parents, if you host a sleepover with 6-year-olds and give them all books […]
