I can’t believe that David Duchovny is actually running for president.

But it could work.  Hey, it’s not like there isn’t a precedent for popular entertainers making a successful bid for The White House.

And it be would ironic if he won.  His long-running breakout television role was a character trying desperately to expose government conspiracies.  A victory in 2028 would make him fully ONE THIRD of that very same government.

That 70’s Poet.

I passed a nice milestone yesterday — I’ve now seen my writing and photography appear in 70 ongoing periodicals (in addition to the anthologies and other standalone publications).

It’s the magazine named for me and my peer group — how could I NOT submit a poem?

Seriously, though, I am quite grateful to Editor in Chief Arthur Graham for publishing “Confession” in this superb and subversive art/lit zine “that will always be for the misfits.”

You can find the poem right here:
