Hannity forced a shovel into my hand and demanded that I “dig.” I was in no position to deny his request, after all, it was I and not he, who, in a fit of GreenFinch ™ fueled rage had beaten a local Kearny, Nebraska weather man to death with a plastic “most improved player” trophy. [...]

A Night at MisShapes pt. 2
I woke up in Cedars-Sinai, an IV jammed into my wrist, and an astoundingly violent headache pounding the inside of my skull. Before me stood Hannity, looking smug in a pin stripped suit.
“Wake up Murdoch!” He demanded.
“What? Where am I?”
“Where do you think you’d wind up after drinking two bottles of Green [...]

A political insder named Tate came to visit me this past weekend. During drinks at Sing Sing he advised me to leave the country immedietly. He insisted “the big one” was on the way and that Bush was already living in an underground bunker some 500 feet below the Dallas suburbs. [...]

Sadr City

Jerry Falwell
It was a beautiful day in Harlem. Not a single cloud in the sky. Jerry Falwell died today and quite frankly, I am glad for it. I was in the middle of photographing a pile of rat corpses for an art project commisioned by Mayor Bloomberg when I heard the news. [...]

A Night at MisShapes
I was sitting in the back of a jet-black Lincoln Continental, waiting for Hannity to finish his show and meet me for a night on the town. Hannity left me a rambling message earlier in the day, the gist of which, I think, was that he wanted to “blow off some steam,” but the [...]

Remote Control
A few months ago, Anna and I went to see the new James Bond flick at some sketchy theater on the UWS. It was okay, and I like that daniel Craig, he looks like the sort of fella who wouldn’t have a problem slaping a woman. During the movie some black guyed yelled, [...]
