Charles Fort
Charles Fort was the craziest white man to come from the Bronx until I came along.
I probably am his reincarnation.
Everyone should at least TRY to read his surviving books. the ones he didn't destroy when he got pissed.
Two of his more famous quotes are, "One measures a circle beginning at any point," and "We are property." If you want to understand the context of those two assertions, I heartily endorse you doing your own further research.
There have been a number of Fortean organizations over the years, and in England there is the magazine The Fortean Times, but Fort himself loathed the original Fortean Society and probably would not have enjoyed much that has been done in his name since his death either.
Charles Fort rules like Ozzy!!!

John Beach Voiceguy
There's something to be said for loyalty, it is the hardest thing to find in life. John has a lot of talent and a lot of famous clients, but really I'm writing about him today because he is loyal.
Today's winner of the Peter's Choice Award is John Beach Voiceguy.

Henrey is still winning
Today is a cool day, only in the 70s. Today is a day to sit in the window and look out with Henrey Cat. That's Henrey's favorite thing to do in the world (besides sleep). Henrey is still winning the Peter's Choice Award today.

Ellen Goldensohn
Ellen was the editor of Natural History magazine back when it used to be done inside the Museum and I used to work on it part-time. We've stayed friends, I guess because she likes liberals. Her husband was a Communist union leader back in the day.
Ellen has an adopted son who has developmental disabilities, and I draw with him, which I guess seems to help him. Mostly, we like hanging out, the drawing is almost secondary. Ellen's giant cat is named Baby and when I leave her place, I'm covered in Baby hair each time. He's desperate for love, cannot get enough, and he cries like a little kitten with a squeaky voice. I think he thinks he's still a kitten.
Ellen's apartment is one she moved into in the 1970's as the band Sha Na Na were moving out! They had just gotten their TV gig, but up till then they all shared this place. It's pretty big, with lots of smallish rooms. Apparently, Sha Na Na themselves built some of the walls, to make larger rooms into smaller ones and provide them with more privacy while they bunked together.
Recently, Ellen's been busy at the hospital because her nephew had an accident in Central Park that made the papers. So it seems like a good enough time to give Ellen today's Peter's Choice Award.

Horus Cat
Horus Cat is nervous because he's moving soon and he doesn't know what's happening. I'm giving him the Peter's Choice Award for today in order to help him buck up and be brave till he's settled into the new place.

George Tabb
Everyone in New York knows and likes George Tabb, formerly of the punk rock band FURIOUS GEORGE. He's also respected as a writer for Maximum Rock'n'Roll, Punk Magazine, and New York Press. He was best man at Dee Dee Ramone's second wedding. And he's one of the only oldschool punk rock guys I think is cool. I'm extremely judgmental-- accent on the "mental" -- when it comes to musicians having integrity-- if I like George it means he has integrity.
George was living right by the World Trade Center on 9/11 and he was lied to by Christine Todd Whitman and the Bush administration and told the air was safe when it wasn't. Since then, he's had serious health problems and in fact needs to go in for another operation NEXT WEEK. The government won't give him any aid because OFFICIALLY there is no such thing as a 9/11-related illness. Whitman and Bush said the air was safe, and they were the government at the time, so therefore money can't be given to pay for treatment for illnesses that can't legally be occurring.
George needs your help. He's tried every angle. Welfare turned him down! We have billions for Goldman Sachs but 9/11 sufferers have to fend for themselves? I THOUGHT WE VOTED THE REPUBLICANS OUT OF POWER! George has no place left to turn-- he needs YOU. To find out more information, go here:

For surviving 9/11 and for being a force for good in the world, George Tabb wins today's Peter's Choice Award.

Today's award goes to...
Today's award goes to Rachel Trachtenburg because she was considerate of me yesterday even though she's a high-falutin' professional model now and doesn't have to give a crap about me any more. Rachel takes the "professional" part seriously though, so this dubious "honor" goes to her for today. I hope she and her friends kill on the Checker Phil Show later today. ZOMG!
ADDENDUM 12:15 PM: Rachel just called and hired me to draw a cartoon picture of her new band. It pays to kiss butt in this business! Haha just kidding-- NOTHING pays in this "business."

Social Services
Today the Peter's Choice Award goes to Social Services provided to the poor. There aren't enough of them and they aren't budgeted as highly as they need to be, because we need to fight pointless wars and "bail out" rich people.

Melky
Today's Peter's Choice Award goes to Melky Cabrera for being the first Yankee to hit for the cycle since Tony Fernandez in 1995.
The next year, in 1996, Fernandez was replaced by Derek Jeter, so I hope it brings better luck to Melky than it did to Tony.
