New Comedy Central show pushes the envelope

And by pushing the envelope, I mean is playing it safe.

How do you play it safe?

By making fun of Christians.  No problem there.

Get ready to enjoy some “JC”:

As part of the network’s upfront presentation to advertisers… the network is set to announce “JC,” a half-hour show about Christ wanting to escape the shadow of his “powerful [...]

The world's smallest violin for Representative Hank Johnson

I’m hearing from different sources this morning that picking on Congressman Hank Johnson’s obvious confusion while speaking with Admiral Willard about relocating Navy personnel to Guam was a mean-spirited, heartless, insensitive, and downright, well… conservative thing to do.

He’s sick, don’t you know.

Rep. Hank Johnson is the Atlanta Democrat who defeated and replaced the execrable Cynthia [...]

Representative Johnson makes my Uncle Louie happy

How, you say?

Well, in my family, he’s Crazy Uncle Louie.

He usually sits on the porch rocking back and forth, talking to himself and shouting at the kids on the street.  He thinks that there’s aliens hiding in his garage and that they’ve implanted chips in his brain to read his thoughts.

And then Representative Hank Johnson [...]

True Grit remake. Oh god, no.

True-Grit

It’s coming. 

The Coen brothers have apparently decided to move on from the mostly incomprehensible Cormac McCarthy to American icons. 

I’ve heard about this for a while, but I’m just now starting to hear some names trickle out, and it’s got me in a cold sweat. 

Jeff Bridges as Rooster.  Yes, that’s right.  The Dude with an eyepatch [...]

I’ll take unemployed freshman senators for $500, Alex

Kool-AidMan

 

In an interesting clip from YouTube, via Hot Air, freshman senator Michael Bennet tells his constituents where they can shove it with one easy word. 

“Yes.”

So, Jeopardy-style, what’s the question for this answer?

“If every piece of evidence tells you if you support that bill, you will lose your job… would you cast the vote and lose your [...]

Palin in Milwaukee

palin

Palin showed up for a brief fund raiser for Wisconsin Right to Life Education Fund on Friday night. 

In a personal and passionate speech, Palin lauded the state’s anti-abortion movement for legislative advances achieved over time.

“We were told to sit down and shut up,” Palin said. “Wisconsin, you went rogue.”

She used President Barack Obama’s mantra of [...]

I’d be offended, but I guess I’m too stupid to know better

pinocchio1

Is it just me, or is there a very disturbing trend that is beginning to appear with this administration…

For me, it kind of began with the little girl in the audience of the town hall meeting Obama was at.  You know, the one who

asked President Obama a question at Tuesday’s town hall meeting in [...]

A GOP ad chock full o’ Obama lies on health care

I’m a firm believer in the New Media.

Stuff like blogs, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter… all of these are cutting edge technologies that help people communicate, and if politics isn’t about communication, what is it?

In the past–even this last election–I would sit back and scream about how the Repubs are doing nothing to help themselves.  Bad ads, [...]

How bad is it for Dems at these town hall meetings?

mob_pitchforks_small

Pretty bad.

Here’s one from Frozen Tundra Land, where Representative Gwen Moore from Milwaukee has returned home to seek the counsel and wisdom from her district, or something like that. 

The first thing you’ll notice when you read the news stories from reporters coming back from these meetings is that they are just plain, outright shocked  that [...]

Uhhhh… I’ll pass, thanks.

 

Not to criticize, but I’ve never understood people who have such a cavalier attitude toward life. 

I know this is supposedly “how life should be lived,” and perhaps I’m not living it to the fullest behind my desk as I happen to be now.

But I’d rather vegetate behind my keyboard than try to figure why my [...]
