David Misch writes comedy for TV and film. His first job was "Mork & Mindy” ("Fly, be free!"), which won an Emmy for Best New Comedy. He also co-wrote “Leave It To Dave” ("Martin Mull's Recipe For Ketchup"), the pilot for David Letterman’s first talk-show, and was Special Consultant on "The Muppets Take Manhattan" ("Meat makes me ill, Gill"). Later, he was Executive Producer of “Duckman” ("Hey, get your own wacky scream"), which was nominated for multiple Emmys, won the CableACE and Banff awards for Best Animated Series, and was just released (only 12 years after it ended) on DVD.

David also wrote for the legendary, albeit short-lived, Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker series “Police Squad!” ("No sax before a fight"); was a guest writer on “Saturday Night Live” ("Dylan Thomas -- he drank"); and, coming full circle, wrote the NBC movie “Behind The Camera: The Unauthorized Story of ‘Mork & Mindy’” ("Realty
-- what a concept"), which he is hoping soon to have authorized. He is currently writing an animated pilot for Disney [funny quote to come].

David’s had plays produced in Los Angeles and New York, written for NationalLampoon.com ("Please remove your hand from my rectum"), been collected in the anthology May Contain Nuts ("I am hoping this note is found before I suffocate") and recorded the quasi-legendary "Somerville" ("Come watch the buildings stand up proud and tall / While, far below, the pavement hugs the ground") for Fretless Records. Most recently, he completed an autobiographical sketch for The Huffington Post.

Dow Zero: The Republican Plan for Prosperity

Posted February 1, 2009 | 12:46 PM (EST)


My fellow Republicans... I rise in opposition to Comrade Obama's insidious, socialistic "stimulus" plan. This gigantic pork-barrel bill is a shameless giveaway of the public's money to the working class and poor. But I don't need to tell you that, you who voted for President Bush's noble -- and successful!...

If Obama Were Like McCain

Posted October 13, 2008 | 07:07 PM (EST)


My buddies, what do we really know about John McCain? Why hasn't he told the full story of his past associations? Is he really, as some say, a Communist? Let's look at the evidence.

Senator McCain has repeatedly admitted that he lived in North Vietnam with known...

Preview of Palin's Debate Victory

Posted September 29, 2008 | 05:58 AM (EST)


Calm down, folks -- I guarantee that Sarah Palin's performance on Thursday will be coherent and articulate. Why? Has everyone forgotten Bush's first debate?

But... what if something goes wrong?

My Economic Stimulus Program

Posted August 1, 2008 | 11:09 PM (EST)


Experts are now saying that the $150 billion stimulus package enacted earlier this year was ineffective in boosting the economy. $600 was given to each taxpayer but, evidently, rich people kept the money so they could be $600 richer and poor people lost it almost immediately, or ate it.

Brangelina™: Love For Sale

Posted July 20, 2008 | 03:54 PM (EST)


Much has been made of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt donating proceeds from the sale of photos of their newborn babies to charity. But few commentators are willing to explore the dark side of Brangelina's so-called generosity.

Torture Plagiarism

Posted July 2, 2008 | 10:06 PM (EST)


News that the CIA based its "enhanced" interrogation techniques on torture inflicted on our servicemen by the Chinese during the Korean War brings dishonor and shame to our nation. It's one thing to use Chinese toys to get our children's lead-paint intake up to FDA standards but should we really...

Conservatives Reveal Principles

Posted June 25, 2008 | 10:48 AM (EST)


There are those of us on the bleeding-heart (wait, shouldn't that term now be restricted to those killed in Iraq?) Left who, cynically, believe that conservatives have no true political principles, that they justify whatever policy benefits them and their supporters by an ever-changing set of criteria. But the Inspector...

Disloyal Americans

Posted June 11, 2008 | 05:45 PM (EST)


As if the nomination of defeatist Barack Obama for President weren't enough, another lily-livered group has joined the coalition of the surrender monkeys who want to abandon our winning war in Iraq: Iraq.

"Iraq officials question need for U.S. troop presence" reads the headline in the L.A. Times. Well pardon...

So this time, books may actually be dead.

Reports that Amazon's Kindle book-reader (has anyone else noticed its name's ominous similarity to "kindling"?) is actually a reasonable substitute for a book bring us one step closer to the end of bound paper. (A brief pause while all the trees in...
