Pete Holiday: The Cheerful Cynic


[ Humor ]
Now... I've had some people complain that they didn't think some of the following material was appropriate. Well, I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion... and nobody is required to watch cable TV. Nevertheless, let me make a disclaimer: the posting of articles on this page in no way constitutes my own endorsement of the ideas in them. It merely means that I think they're funny... and damnit, if you can't laugh every once in a while THIS page is the least of your problems!
