I can’t turn on the radio or open a newspaper without being besieged by the very latest travel innovation: a travel agent. From CNN, to Forbes, to Oprah, the media darlings du jour are… you! Last time I…
I totally understand that for some, the media can be intimidating. But, honestly dahrlings, calling us names and a bunch of underpants is just not nice. It all started with Sarah Pain whining about gotchies in the media and…
In the last ten years, I’ve only had my ass grabbed by a client once. Ok, twice. (I believe his gondolas are still in for repairs). So, I suppose that’s progress. It’s International Women’s Day, Pumpkins, and one can’t…

Terrorists are taking a new tack in the war against freedom, Pumpkins. In Bangkok yesterday, an Iranian bomber blew his own legs off. The grenade he threw at police ricocheted off a tree and landed at his feet. The cunning…
