Saturday Night Live is Still Kind of Funny

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Now I haven’t watched a full episode of SNL in years but I do know it hasn’t been very funny in quite a while. Though, Tina Fey added a nice lift to this weekend’s show. She’s brilliant. I’m a huge fan of 30-Rock. So she really can’t do wrong in my book. Her impersonation of Sarah Palin is so good that it’s reassuring there would be a suitable body double in case ’something happened’.

(I went with Hulu for video quality and widescreen so you will have to suffer through the 15 sec pre-ad)

Vote Boobs 2008!

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

So a bunch of girls with high self esteem made a website called….BoobsForBarack.com (NSFW).  It pretty much speaks for itself.

Don’t worry John McCain, I’m sure you’re not far behind.  I got you started with this one…

From Transvestite to Politician

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Funny man and actor, Eddie Izzard has been a personal favorite of mine for years now. His Dress to Kill stand up makes me laugh to this day. It is nice to see him start to receive some commercial success with an upcoming movie with Tom Cruise and a popular show on FX.

After a recent interview with Newsweek he stated that he sees himself getting into European politics at some point.

“We’ve got to make it work in Europe,” the cross-dressing comedian, 46, told the magazine for its issue hitting newsstands Monday. “People are very worried about sovereignty and the loss of sovereignty. I think the stakes are if we don’t make the European Union work, then the world is screwed. End of story.”

I think the world could use a man like him in politics; blunt with a sense of humor and always with a good complexion. I know what you all are thinking; “Transvestite! Are you serious?” Yes, and I leave you with this quote after the jump. (more…)

Hillary Has More Hair on Her Chest Than You

Monday, April 14th, 2008

Yes, I’m a young male and I voted for Hillary Clinton. While I have many legitimate reasons for voting for her in the primaries, it can now all be summed up in one picture.

Hillary can throw it down.

You got to love a woman that can throw down a shot of Crown Royal. She stated at an event in Pennsylvania that she is a big fan of Blue Moon with an orange. Something has to be said for that, right? I can’t wait for the Republican response to this. It will probably come out that John McCain washes his balls in Ketel One….if true he may be on to something.

Vermont Towns Want Bush and Cheney Behind Bars

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

George W BushTwo small towns in Vermont have voted to approve a measure that would “instruct police to arrest President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for crimes against our Constitution.”

I would absolutely love to meet the cop that has the balls to handcuff the President. That’s like something out of a Naked Gun movie.

Holy Crap - Fidel Castro Resigned

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

Fidel CastroI have a confession to make: I hate real news. There’s so much crap going on in the world that you rarely hear anything good. Entertainment news is where my attention is focused because it’s a great diversion from the daily grind. The only downside to this is that you end up missing huge stories like this.

Fidel Castro has officially stepped aside as the leader of Cuba. Not much will change in the short-term since his brother has been running the nation for the past year and a half or so, but it’s still pretty major news. They say that this development could “spark new calls for democracy from Washington and from Cuban Americans living in Miami and elsewhere.”

The weirdest thing I’ve ever seen was when I was in Toronto (that’s in Canada). They had posters advertising vacations in Cuba. I had never seen that in the States before. True story. That’s all I’ve got.

Where are Politics Heading?

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

Chuck Norris, Mike HuckabeeAs I keep an eye on the emerging election of 2008, I can’t help but notice the shenanigans that all these candidates are pulling out. All the Democrats are preaching about “change”, which is nice but that word is getting a little tired. The republicans are as divided as ever with an evangelical preacher, Huckabee, parading Chuck Norris around like a prop and Romney preaching about twenty-year-old rhetoric by Ronald Regan. The worst part is that Fred Thompson is actually trying to become our president after starring in such films as Feds, Die Hard: 2, Curly Sue, and Baby’s Day Out. God help us…..wait, isn’t that Hilary’s new campaign slogan?
