Ginger and her girlfriends had left, the hot tub was quiet, and the lights of downtown sparkled like Festivus-tree ornaments down the hill from my palatial pad in Echo Park. Only the occasional sound of gangbanger gunfire from Boyle Heights marred the stillness of the evening as I sat sipping my Jägermeister and contemplating the infinite void that my father, the sainted “Che” Kahane, had raised me to believe is my destiny. And then the phone rang. “So listen, Dave,” said my agent, breathlessly. It wasn’t like her to...

A close that again praises the person or product because you can’t leave on a sour note. Every time I read an open letter I envision the person...

Google will close its Australian operations, effectively blacklisting the country in response to the Federal Government's "evil" plan to filter the internet. ZDNet.com.au has confirmed that the search engine giant will close its doors on Australia for good, effective immediately, marking the end of four years of its operation here and a long-running battle with the government over its plan to filter the internet.

Welcome To The Hiney Winery The Hiney Winery was established in 1979 by Uncle Harry Hiney. He had the idea of putting his Hiney in a flip top disposable can.

Since that time people all over the area have been enjoying Hiney Wine. The tradition is being kept alive by Harry’s two nephews, Big Red and Thor, who refuse to put their name on their Hiney until its perfect. That way you know...
