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!

2008, a weird year

How weird a year was it? Here's how weird:
- O.J. actually got convicted of something.
- Gasoline hit $4 a gallon -- and those were the good times.
- On several occasions, "Saturday Night Live" was funny.
- There were a few days there in October when you could not completely rule out the possibility that the next Treasury secretary would be Joe the Plumber.
- Finally, and most weirdly, for the first time in history, the voters elected a president who -- despite the skeptics who said such a thing would never happen in the United States-- was neither a Bush nor a Clinton.

First ever "Things I frigging hate"

I cannot tell you how much Gene Simmon's hair vexes me. It just looks all sorts of wrong. I mean, what is it supposed to be doing? It's kind of helmetish, like it just sits there. It's too frizzy but it ain't quite.
Dude should just get those nappies relaxed or something. It looks like a bird's nest. Or am I supposed to read that situation happening in the front of his skull as plugs gone rogue? Somebody needs to help me here because my eyes are a-bleeding.
And don't even get me started with how awkward is just his whole face and skin. I mean, he's never "read" to me as being "white". His looks confuse me. I expect him to break out on a hard rock rendition of "Am black and proud".
There's got to be some mandingo love hiding in the background of this guy's family tree and I don't care how white you say his hassidim family is. The hair will set the truth free my friend and that is as nappy a hair as the one covering my negritude.

Good night Opus. ACK!
I remember when Berkley Breathed started Bloom County back in the 1980s. It was a breath of fresh air and left-wing perspective in a world taken over by Ronald Reagan's right-wing dementia. From the Iran-Contra affair to the myth of the welfare queens, there was nothing sacred in the Berkley Breathed canon of satirical targets.
For this Puerto Rican girl who could navigate "Anglo" culture with an inquisitive yet critical eye, Bloom County gave me the kind of political commentary I could find nowhere in the MSM exports of Time and Newsweek, needless to say in our island's papers either.
Actually, back in the 1980s, all the Anglo political irreverence I was getting through the mainstream media that reached our island, came in the guise of comedy or cartoons : Bloom County, Doonsbury, Pat Oliphant, Jules Pfeiffer and the stand up comedy of Steve Allen, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Don Rickles, Bill Cosby. My life was never the same after watching Whoopie Goldberg's one woman show on HBO at the end of the 1980s.
ACK!

The Daily Show on "Going Rogue"
I see another Emmy in the The Daily Show's future.
"They found Sarah Palin in the wild, taught her everything, and set her loose, but they forgot one thing: she couldn't be contained." And what's most frightening? She can lay eggs by the hundreds. LOL!

"White people should not be allowed to vote"
In Pennsylvania because, you know, you just can't trust white people to make the right choice :
These people are ruining things for the rest of us white people who are ready to move on. Sure, they have their reasons, chimerical though they may be: He's a Muslim. He's a terrorist. He's a Muslim terrorist. He's going to fire all the white people and give their jobs to blacks.
But those are just the little white lies these people allow themselves to be told, a self-induced cognitive dissonance that lets them avoid saying the unsayable: I cannot pull the lever for a black man.
Hey, some people just aren't ready yet, even the governor said so. Just like some people aren't ready yet for computers or setting the clock on the VCR.
Or, to hear Murtha tell it, some people - specifically some people in Western Pennsylvania - will never be ready. But the fact is, if you did a statewide head count of racists, you'd find just as many in eastern Pennsylvania as you would in the western part of the state.
That's why this ban on white people voting I'm proposing has got to be statewide. And I'm sorry to say, it's going to have to include all white people, even those who would vote for Obama, because you can't just let some white people vote. That would be unfair.
I can't believe this snark-filled op/ed was published. It's hilarious and depressing, all at the same time.

Family Guy goes there [UPDATE]
Frucking FAIR USE, FREE SPEECH hating TV networks!
Yet another 30-40 second clip that's being yanked from YouTube due to another stupidly greedy media company. AUGH! When will it end?
Anyhow ...
Check out what Stewie finds on the lapel of a Nazi officer in this spoof of Indiana Jones.
Oy vey!
