FACT: Neal Pollack’s kid is named Elijah, a name he shares with the Jewish guy in the Old Testament who raised the dead, among other career highlights (delivering God’s message of doom to Ahab, putting prophets of Baal to death, talking to angels under juniper trees, being sucked up to heaven on a giant whirlwind, etc).

[This has been a Neal Pollack Fact of the Day. This madness will end on Thursday at Chop Suey. 7 pm doors, 8 pm show, opening reading by Dan Savage, original music by “Awesome,” MC’ing by Sean Nelson, etc, etc, etc. And like everything The Stranger does: Free!]
