I have a new comedy blog

Published Wednesday, July 25, 2007 by seanlmccarthy.

With great power comes great responsibility. Not just for Spider-Man anymore, it also applies to professional journalists who want to cover comedy. Here is my new work blog about the funny business. Read it. Bookmark it. Put it on your blogroll. Tell your friends to read it. Email me with comedy news and tips. And other things I haven't mentioned. Thank you.

So I could get hired for this?

Even the Wall Street Journal suggests that blogging leads to employment. Maybe I should apply for a job there?! Yes. Maybe I shall.

Dave Barry emerges from retirement

Published Wednesday, January 31, 2007 by seanlmccarthy.

So I see that humor columnist (and Pulitzer winner) Dave Barry has emerged from his print retirement this week to file daily dispatches from his Miami city in honor of Super Bowl Week. Based on today's column about media day? Color me unimpressed. Unless you count the anonymously cited bosoms. But Barry also has kept his typing fingers busy on his official blog, and based on his take on this season's 24? OK. He still has some funny left to share. You just have to go online to find the laughs. Just another bad sign for the old-school print media.
