About Me
- Name: Michael Riley
Michael Riley is a feature writer and columnist for the Asbury Park Press. An ordained American Baptist minister, he pastored three congregations over a period of 20 years before being lured from the pulpit by the secular humanist, heathenish world of journalism. The Baptists were only slightly sorry to see him go. Riley was born in Camden and raised in a South Jersey trailer park in the shadow of a truck stop. He is a graduate of Eastern College and Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He and his wife, who will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary in May, have four sons. The only really honest work he has ever done was a stint as a clam shucker at a place called Cap'n Cat's in South Jersey. Riley has been said to assume that he is usually the smartest person in any room he happens to be in. The man has opinions.

No comment. Au revoir!
Does anyone remember Mel Brooks' movie, Silent Movie? Marcel Marceau was the only person in the entire movie to utter a single word: "No!"
Very good. Why not run that in the Press?
Oui! Your eulogy looks like what former Pulitzer Prize winning Press cartoonist Steve Breen would've drawn. He's my favorite political/social cartoonist BTW.

A mime is a terrible thing to waste.
Or, if you're Dan Quayle, 'It's a waste when you lose your mime'.
Silence is golden.
