World Shocked by Reality

So, there’s racism. And this is “news”… why? Have you been outside lately? Or are we all still under the blissfully terrifying myst of ignorant complacency which makes Stephen King creations look like Care Bears?
Yup, there’s racism. Has been for a while. Let’s deal with it…

This salute looks familiar

Filed under: Political Absurdism — admin @ 10:57 pm

Hillary Clinton uses subtle arm placement to rally open-minded West Virginia voters to goose step to the polls on Tuesday.

You know, to defend the Mutterland.

Iowa Senator Tom Harkin is a thief!

Filed under: Political Absurdism, Stand Up — admin @ 10:19 am

Well, maybe.
He did say “Great stuff! Very funny! I wrote some of that down to use” after my performance Friday night at the Val Air Ballroom in Des Moines, Iowa (site of the infamous 2004 “Dean Scream,” fyi).
He’s a good man, that Senator, and well-loved.
If, however, any of you flip on C-Span and see him pantomiming Fox News as a Nazi Weather Broadcast… let me know. The Reverend Wright drama will be nothing compared to a comic scorned.

More soon. Heavy travel over for a spell…

San Francisco. Deception of Iowa

Filed under: Political Absurdism, Shows & Dates, Spinning Treadmills — admin @ 10:22 am

It’s not what you think, whatever it is that you think (besides, of course, “Hillary’s got to go”). Just some quickies…

San Francisco reminder.
Comedy Against Evil. Friday & Saturday night at 8pm. The Purple Onion. 140 Columbus Avenue, 94103. $20. For reservations, email info@comedyagainstevil.com
“A welcome reminder of a time when comedy cut a lot closer to the issues of the day than most comics now dare.” - Dallas Morning News

Go see Deception, The Movie!

Deception, the hot new thriller with Hugh Jackman, Ewan McGregor and Michelle Williams.
Why? Because the lady cast it. Casting Associate extraordinaire Anne Teutschel did all the hard work to let these stars shine.
(Maybe next time she’ll put me in her movie? Doubt it).

Iowa?
Yes, Iowa. Fundraiser for the Polk County Democrats, next Friday, May 2, in Des Moines. Sharing a table with Senator Tom Harkin. If you know anyone out there, I’ll pass along details.

My Wall Street Journal: It’s a sh*tstorm!

Filed under: Funny Money — admin @ 1:11 pm

Holy cow, there’s madness afoot. Apparently, the top secret “My Wall Street Journal” project is no longer top secret. It’s out, and people are piiiiiissed.
Just google “my wall street journal” and see all the fun. NewsCorp people are buying up copies buy the busload (more money in my pocket, thanks Rupe).

Get your copy at any Hudson News outlet across the country, throughout London, or online via www.wsjparody.com

The New York Times… again!

Filed under: Funny Money — admin @ 12:51 am

I’m extremely proud - and a touch frightened - that I’m an executive editor of the publication discussed in Today’s New York Times. (2nd project of mine mentioned in that rag in 3 weeks).

Read it: “A Funniner-Than-Usual Journal…”

You will hear more about this when I get back to NYC.

IMDB: Hillary Clinton

Filed under: Political Absurdism — admin @ 9:10 am

Last week, Hillary Clinton compared herself to Rocky because she won’t quit the fight. She made the claim near Philadelphia, where Rocky remains hero, thus cleverly tugging on local emotions. We’ve come up with a few fictitious characters she could invoke when pandering campaigning in other regions.

Note: If I wasn’t so damn lazy busy, I’d get pics to go along with these. (If you don’t know who they are, use, um, IMDB.com)

Miami: Sonny Crocket, “Miami Vice”
Fighting crime/McCain with a charismatic black man who she doesn’t really like.

Boston: Will Hunting, “Good Will Hunting”
Her genius is unappreciated and she needs a therapist to tell her, “It’s not your fault. It’s not your fault.” It’s Bill’s fault.

Chicago: Elliot Ness, “The Untouchables”
Tough on crime, and it always comes down to tax returns.

Seattle: Dr. Cristina Yang, “Grey’s Anatomy”
She’s a bi… driven, hard-working woman focused on achieving her goals. Might be Asian, too.

San Francisco: Catherine Trammel, “Basic Instinct”
Hillary and an ice pick: Probably Bill O’Reilly and Matt Drudge’s secret fantasy.

Washington, DC: MacKenzie Allen “Commander In Chief”
She’s going to be President… for at least a few episodes.

Pottsylvania: Rocket J. Squirrel
The “Rocky” she meant, battling Fearless Leader (Bush) with a clumsy moose, Billwinkle.

Vice City: Hooker, “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City”

Eventually she’s going to get beaten or shot. Also, willing to do anything to win. Anything.
