(FXBG Advance Humorist Drew Gallagher has called a press conference for today. Cable television reporters are on site because the column does not work without the presence of a television reporter.)

Rodeos, Cowboy Hats, and Clowns
When it comes to scary, Stephen King and Pennywise have nothing on what’s happening around here. Creative writing teachers always ask their students to write what they know. Part of this is self-serving, because they don’t want to read stories about teenagers who have never served in the military writing about the Battle of the […]
Kelce for VEEP? Hell, Yeah …!
Drew is back (literally – the surgery was a huge success and he’s already back to writing, shamelessly pleading with Rep. Spanberger to join her cabinet – I wouldn’t underestimate him, Abigail). In my ongoing effort to impress future Governor of Virginia, Abigail Spanberger, I wanted to show her that I am much more than […]

Interview with Ron Charles – Grand Poobah of Reviewers

When they finally construct the pantheon of the world’s greatest book critics, the marble bust of Washington Post book reviewer Ron Charles will certainly […]
CRICKET’S BIG DAY
Humor doesn’t always lead to people falling down and laughing. Sometimes, humor can take a darker tone. Such is the case with today’s column by Drew. Hi, my name is Cricket and I’m a 14-month-old wirehaired pointer who lives in South Dakota. Today is my big day! Mistress Kristi told me that today she’s going […]
