After a time people figure out that the president DOESN"T solve all their problems and some of them actually work to fill their own gas tanks and pay their own mortgage.
Jerimiah Wright can come out of retirement. Michelle can take off the duct tape and wear lipstick again.
We now know that an empty suit can get up and walk and talk.
No more whining about how the election was stolen. (Notice how all the machines were accurate this time? Apparently Diebold is no longer capable of rigging elections.)
Children inspired to learn that they can grow up to win the highest office in the world without any actual accomplishments.
Comedian Bias: An end to all the "Why can't we get a Brother in the White House' Jokes. Oh look, he DIDN'T put spinners on Air Force One. Aunt Zetuni and Brother George are going back to the Glory days of Democrat families, like Billy Carter and Roger Clinton. Lots of fun stuff rhymes with Obama.
America made even safer for unapologetic domestic terrorists.
No more wood splitting, brush clearing or golfing. Jogging track replaced with a basketball court. (Oops, scratch number five.)
World finally learns that socialism fails no matter who runs it.
Even I can afford to invest in the stock market now.
Incidentally, there will still be a Kidders show this Thursday, November 13th, at Zanies in the Pheasant Run Resort (sans Jerry & Maura). 8PM Tickets still just $8.90. 630-584-6342
A few years back, I protested the new Minneapolis Smoking Ban, by making smoking part of the performance. It generated quite a bit of controversy, and it was a lot of fun. It even made the ten O'Clock news:
It was so much fun, that I've decided to do it again, on Halloween, after the 10:30 show.
If you' re a smoker that can make it to Minneapolis, I hope you' ll join me at Acme Comedy Company, Friday October 31st. (Reservations highly recommended.) I'm going to extend the stage out into the audience once again, and put your right to smoke under the protection of the First Amendment. I'll invite every one to enjoy an indoor smoke with me, and in a marvelous act of role reversal, we' re going to ask the non- smokers to step outside.
Since Minnesota allows smoking as long as there is a show going on, we' re going to take the show into the bar, and I won' t wrap up, until last call.
After one year with Jerry's Kidders, we were on the top of the the ratings. No show on AM was doing better than Jerry Agar. The other kidders and I were in negotiations with Hyundai to perform at the Chicago Auto Show, and we were excitedly planning our first year anniversary event.
At which point, the station decided to switch hosts. The nine to eleven weekday slot that Jerry owned for the past couple years was given to a different host, one that had been trying to squeeze into the WLS lineup for a number of years. Consequently, Jerry's Kidders were shown the door as well.
Starting Monday Morning, October 27th the 9-11 slot on 890 WLS will be replaced by Erich "Mancow" Muller. It was a great run, and I thank all of you who were in the audience. I also want to thank Jerry, Maura, Dobie, and Ken; for making my year as a radio star a delightful experience I shan't soon forget.
For those of you who are into Nostalgia, podcasts of most 2008 shows are still available for download off the WLS bandwith, although I fully expect them to be deleted soon.
Meanwhile up in Minnesota, failed talk show host Al Franken looks like he is about to win the Senate. So that's where we are. A failed Talk Show host on the left gets elected to the Senate, while a successful right leaning host gets the door.
I think I'm switching sides. I thought that inalienable rights and individual responsibility were noble goals, but it looks as though I was wrong. I'm tired of being shown the door. I want to be on the money-making side.
Global Warming is a real crisis, the rich don't pay enough taxes, and America needs a Universal Health Plan. That wasn't so bad.
Here's a clip from way back in 1992, the movie was The Distinguished Gentleman. It was supposed to be a comedy about a con man who stumbled into Congress.
It seems that a lot of people got angry with my last blog post, and I even lost a MySpace friend over it. I certainly didn't mean to do that. I thought there was just something really creepy about the song, and the video demonstrated it quite graphically. But I'm not trying to make enemies here.
For a moment, I thought perhaps I was being unfair with the posting. I thought in the spirit of bipartisanship, perhaps I should remove it from my blog. That is, until today, when this video went over the Internet, somewhat substantiating the allegations the first video made:
I don't mean to get partisan here. I will gladly post any McCain, Barr, or Nader videos in a similar vein. But I don't think there ARE any. There is something about Obama that generates a passion in people unlike any other candidate, something that makes people want to chant and sing and march.
When I first heard this song it really gave me the creeps. When I stumbled across this video, it became perfectly clear exactly what bugged me about it:
Were you listening? It was one of the funniest radio shows of this political season, and if you weren't tuning in, you haven't missed the boat.
Myself and three other comics spent an hour trading Barack Obama jokes yesterday, on WLS 890 AM.
It was a grand success. Reviews have been great, and I think it contained some of the funniest Obama jokes to date.
Did you miss it? It's not too late. Thanks to the miracle of the Internet, you can now download FREE podcasts of the show, Barack-No-Phobia: No Kidding aside.
Just click on the link, and the show is MP3 downloadable, in two different parts.
After eight long years of listening to "George Bush Is So Stupid" jokes, I think it's time for change; not just in the White House but in the Comedy House as well. According to a recent article in the New York Times, there is nothing funny about Barack Obama. Apparently all the late night, and comedy news show hosts are lax to make jokes about the Democrat nominee for President. Well that doesn't sit too well with me.
So myself and three other comics have decided to buck the trend, and spend an hour trading Barack Obama jokes, on WLS 890 AM. We're calling it Barack-No-Phobia: No Kidding Aside. We expect to ruffle a feather or two with this one
In fact it already is getting noticed. Robert Feder of the Chicago Sun-Times gave us a mention. As did NTS Aircheck.
WMAQ NBC5 Chicago has already decided to cover the story, and they're bringing in the cameras into the studio.
The action starts on Monday Morning at 10 AM. And if you're not in the listening area, you can Listen Live on the Internet.
