About Will Durst
Acknowledged by peers and press alike as one of the premier political satirists in the country, Will Durst has patched together a comedy quilt of a career, weaving together columns, books, radio and television commentaries, acting, voice overs and most especially, stand up comedy, into a hilarious patchwork of outraged and outrageous common sense. His abiding motto is “You can’t make stuff up like this." The New York Times calls him "possibly the best political comic in the country." Fox News agrees "he's a great political satirist," while the Oregonian hails him as a “hilarious stand-up journalist.” This former radio talk host, oyster shucker, and margarine smuggler currently writes a nationally syndicated humor column, and his scribblings have appeared in Esquire, George, the San Francisco Chronicle, National Lampoon, The New York Times and scads of other periodicals.

last October.







Title of this Week's Durst Case Scenario Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!!
.
.
Will and I send many Valentine hugs to all of you! Will is a week out from his very successful MOHS surgery. He had two basal cell carcinomas removed from his head and is very happy about that. No other spots detected and they got it all out. Now all someone has to do is put the dang sunscreen on!!
.
The beginning of 2023 has not been without its challenges.
We are still waiting to be able to get back into the outpatient therapy program at St. Mary’s. We will return to OT at the end of the month and restart PT almost mid-March. His PT had to take some personal time off and we will wait for her to return, since she’s the Best and knows Will and his progress---or lack of this month… I have been doing what I can when I visit as far as trying to exercise his leg and fight with the knee brace to try and lengthen his hamstring. He’s supposed to be wearing it for 30 minutes each day, but it is rather difficult to get on and the caregivers are confused by it. So it’s down to me most of the time.
.
Meanwhile, we slog on
.
Will can now move his toes and is working on trying to move his whole foot. Fabulous progress!He’s got more control moving his arm and his grip is quite strong now. He has exercises he’s been doing on his own and I can tell he’s getting stronger daily.
.
Thank You All So Much for all your support! We really couldn’t do any of this without each and every one of you.The outpouring of love is amazing and we are thankful every day for such a wonderful community.
.
Looking forward to the beginning of baseball season!
.
Have a magnificent Valentine’s Day everyone!

From LSD to OMG
BoomeRagingWill Durst’s acclaimed tribute to the history, growth, joys, achievements, frustrations, fashions and looming doom of the Baby Boom Generation. Ably assisted by his trusty overhead projector, Durst explores the Boomers’ revolutions, evolutions and still vibrant role in today’s youth-obsessed society, which they invented, for crum’s sake. It’s a celebration of the maturation of the Boomer Nation and as an extra, added, special treat- the Meaning of Life.
