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.

Title of this Week's Durst Case Scenario
.
.
.
For me this date today marks five years since Will had his “vascular incident” as we call it. It has been a slow but steady progress.
Through all of this we have managed to maintain our sense of humor and humanity. So many have not been so lucky to have the support we have received from everyone and we are forever grateful to all of you.
.
Today also marks a banner day for us.
Will’s bed is finally fixed!! The mechanism to raise the head of the bed has been broken since his move (end of June) and it’s been horrific trying to prop him up in bed with tons of pillows so he can see television and not choke while eating or drinking.
First we discovered the part that was missing from the motor was not replaceable so we had to order a new motor. Then the control pendant wouldn’t fit onto the new motor. Today our new BFF Alex from The Bed Doctor came with the new control pendant and HUZZAH! It works!! We are very happy. Finally.
.
For those of you keeping up with Will’s postings on Facebook you may know he’s making his big comeback to sit down comedy at the SF Punchline Saturday November 2. Showtime is 5pm. It’s a full show with an opener and a feature. Will is headlining. Tickets and information
There is another Will and Willie podcast live at Music City SF, 1355 Bush Street on Tuesday October 22. Doors 5:30. Show 6-7pm. Tickets
.
Will also does weekly recorded commentaries for The Radical Songbook. Listen to his latest wherever you get your podcasts.
Will is very excited and happy he can finally add something to this rapidly changing political landscape.
.
We continue to hold out certain hope that Will will be able to stand on his own and walk again. Last week he did 30 minutes in the standing frame without pain or discomfort. That is a personal b est!!
All we need now is to get his left leg straight. That dang knee won’t unbend. Once we can get that muscle to loosen we will work on free standing with a walker. That’s our next goal.
Thank you one and all for your love and support. We could not do this journey without each and every one of you. It gives me optimistic energy and confidence that we will prevail.
We wish all of you a wonderful October. And for goodness sakes VOTE!!
Much Love to you All!!
xoxo, Debi & Will

BoomeRaging:
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.
