Funny as hell

We need more Kathy Griffin in 2009


Why?

She slaps down a heckler with the instant classic : "I don't go to your job and knock the dicks out of your mouth!"

She's so awesome!

Sarah Palin's turkey


I cannot get enough of Sarah Palin's cluelessness. I swear, it's just magic to me how she is lost in the happy-go-luckiness of her ignorance. Especially since she had just previously pardoned a frigging turkey at the same poultry farm.

As commenter teoleftfeet said over at Metafilter, "There's something very very surreal about government leaders sparing the life of a being and then ignoring the slaughter of others. Very very surreal."

Ignorance is indeed bliss. 

Yet what's really over the top and had me literally rolling on the floor with tears streaming down my face was that the guy in the background comes back to do the unspeakable behind her all over again.

That's what we call chutzpah.

Holy Democracy, Batman!

A clip of the 1960's haute-camp tv show, Batman, that eerily foretells last night's debate.

I love Bernie Mac because he found the funny in the pain of truth



This is the infamous clip from The Original Kings of Comedy. I fell in love with Bernie Mac ten thousand times again after this movie.

This is the story of his sister's children living with him. His sister was allegedly a drug addict who lost custody of her kids and Bernie took them in so the court wouldn't separate them. He talks of his trials and tribulations raising the children after years of being "childless" (his daughter was at the time 25 and living on her own).

Bernie talked the truth not just of his family but of the reality of a lot of black folks --and I am not just referring to gringo blacks, but to all Negro families in the hemisphere of América. You can have in one family, even among siblings, one living The Middle Class Dream while the other is still stuck in Ghetto Hell.

P. A. L. M. (Pigs are like men)



Proof that you can knock it out of the park of weird humor if you add a little Spanish to the mix.

For the gays, Jake Gyllenhaal does Jennifer Hudson!



There is a good reason why more than a half-million people have watched through YouTube Jake Gyllehaal's opening skit for last Saturday's SNL.

It's absolutely brilliant ... and shocking. Who knew Toothy Tile had the singing chops to riff on such a show stopper. He also looks smashing in that dress.

Oh and seeing him in drag sininging like that made think of Tom Jones. I don't know why I think he could play and sing in a Tom Jones biopic. Maybe it's the way he broadways those muscular arms.

Words to live by

They dance and strip for free while some jerk-off makes a fortune selling videos of them. Looking dumbfounded when she learned that the girls don't get paid for their exposure, Oprah remarked, "Okay, that really is stupid." No kidding.

But, wait! It gets worse. It is not just that women are exploiting their bodies "for free", they are forking out tons of money to look like all the women they see on television. Oprah had four teenagers from Florida on the show. These young girls spend thousands of dollars to imitate celebrity styles and one is already planning on getting breast implants. Are these young women just a rare exception? Come on. Who hasn't spent a ridiculous amount of money on highlights, or bikini waxes, or some other please-make-me-be-sexy type thing?

We are literally buying into our oppression. People are profiting off the exploitation of girls and women, and then taking our money as we each try to add up to the narrow formula of sexy that bombards us.
