Two weeks before Dave’s father, Melvin Weinbaum, died of prostate cancer,
Mel told Dave he wished he’d done more with his talents.
Listening to his dad’s lament spurred Dave to begin writing shortly after Mel’s
passing in 1993. Dave began writing one liners like he was Forrest Gump
crisscrossing the country — only Dave is still going.
Thus far he’s authored 41,000 original quotes and jokes. A small portion of
Dave’s one liners have been published in the National Enquirer, Reader’s
Digest, Forbes, various newspapers, hundreds of thousands of Internet sites,
and random bathroom walls around the world. Dave started doing calendars of
HIS favorite originals in 1999, this year being the 11th edition. Most of these
witticisms have NOT been published but in Dave’s opinion are as good if not
better than the ones picked for the magazines noted above.
Dave has added a few new wrinkles to his life other than the obvious facial
ones. He has written political op-eds, many of them humorous and satirical,
that have been published in the prestigious Jewish World Review and various
other publications for the last five years. Dave is featured alongside of many of
the legends in political analysis, including Charles Krauthammer, Nat
Hentoff, George Will, Diana West, Jack Kelley, Cal Thomas, Larry
Elder, Michelle Malkin, Bill O’Reilly, Mark Steyn, John Stossel, Ann
Coulter, and Thomas Sowell.
Politicians have stolen (OK, used) Dave’s writings in their speeches, most
recently, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama.
Before the start of the town hall meetings in August, one of Dave’s columns
suggesting questions was used to advise Senator Arlen Spector’s
constituents. Many of those questions were asked of the senator and used in
subsequent town halls.
A little over a year ago Dave entered the field of radio talk show hosts. The
Dave Weinbaum Show listeners are in the Jefferson City/Rolla/Fort Leonard
Wood area. Dave also emceed the Mid-Missouri Tea Party in April 2009.
At 61, Dave is having the MOTHER of mid-life crises. Dave lives by one of his
most often cited quotes: The secret to a rich life is to have more beginnings
than endings.
ENJOY!
