Can SNL's Lame Contempt Get Any Thicker?
I knew there was a reason why I stopped watching this program, as well as The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, and all the other supposedly "funny" programs that have more interest in telling me how to think (Hint: liberal!) than making me laugh. This is just tired, especially because - even though I've only seen it a handful of times - I know FOX & Friends (which is a goofy, squeaky clean morning show like all the others) is absolutely nothing like this. This is a comedy (?) version for people who wouldn't be caught dead actually watching it, because they're too scared to do so, for fear conservatism (like black skin a few decades ago) might rub off on them.
Saturday Night Live ought to be ashamed. It's not just a bad portrayal but it's not funny.
And, in comedy, that's the greatest sin of all.

You Stand Watch: I'm Taking Care Of The Rest
Hey - I'm here today (I'm out of work, where else would I be?) but my music software got corrupted overnight, somehow, so I've got to spend a bit of time backing up my stuff before I can do much else. Sorry - can't be helped.I've put some of the more neglected tags at the bottom of this post so, if you want, you can amuse yourselves with some of the less-seen items/topics until I get started again - and just keep clicking from there. I won't be too long:
I'll be putting something new up between each stage of the operation.
Have fun!
CMC
P.S.
Clicking on the "music" or "videos" tags, and continuing on to the Older Posts at the bottom of each page, is bound to surprise you.

He's Not The Messiah (You're A Very Nutty Boy)
"A north London economist has been forced to deny he is a religious cult's holy savior after a bizarre series of emails and personal visits.-- Scott Warren, admitting, once again, there are NewAge cults operating openly in "atheist" France - also their perfect God has a stu,..a stu,...a st-st-st-stutter and dreams are worthless - all as poor Raj Patel endures more NewAge nonsense, in The Daily Mail.
Raj Patel came to the attention of Share International members after he appeared on U.S. comedy show The Colbert Report to promote his book about the global financial crisis.
The group's leader Benjamin Creme made an announcement soon after telling members their god had recently appeared on U.S. TV for the first time.
His dark skin, slight stutter, birthplace of London and birth year of 1972 as well as other features match those of the divine being the group calls 'Maitreya'.
Frustratingly for Mr Patel, from Golders Green, it is also written that when identified, Maitreya will deny his divinity - echoing the famous scene in Monty Python's Life Of Brian where Graham Chapman's title character is confronted by followers who believe him to be the messiah.
Two followers even flew from Detroit to San Francisco to meet Mr Patel at a book signing.
'I started getting emails saying "Are you the world teacher?",' he told The Sun.
'Then it wasn't just random internet folk,. but also friends saying "have you seen this?".
'It's absurd to be put in this position when I am just some bloke.'
Of the two men who flew to meet him in California, he added: 'They were really nice straightforward people. They said they thought I was Maitreya. They also said I had appeared in their dreams.
'I said, "I'm really flattered you came all the way here, but it breaks my heart you spent all this money to meet someone who isn't who you think he is".'
Creme, originally from Scotland, started the cult in the 1950s and it has since expanded to Amsterdam - where its headquarters are, London, France, Germany, the U.S. and Japan.
He has refused to say whether he accepts Mr Patel's denial.
He started Share International with the aim of 'making known the fact that Maitreya - the World Teacher for the coming age - and his group, the Masters of Wisdom, are now among us, emerging into the public arena gradually, so as not to infringe human free will'."

Liberals Doing Actual Conservative Comedy? Now The Macho Response Calls That Really Funny!
This was fucking great! It seems like the true spirit of comedy is the only way we'll get honest bipartisanship in this country. If that's true - and I hope it's not - I say bring it on! This was better than a week's worth of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report combined! Fucking hilarious!

This Makes More Sense Than Colbert
"Democratic viewers paid the most attention to 'The Colbert Report,' while 'South Park' was the network’s most engaging show among Republicans."— Nielson Wire

Outsmartin' Them Thar City Folk Daily
The Pew Research Center conducted a survey to see what the audiences of the various political shows knew about politics, and what they found goes against the conventional wisdom about whose audience is better informed about current events. With a simple three-question survey about politicians in high office, it turned out that the audiences of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity answered more questions correctly than fans of the "Colbert Report," "The Daily Show," and CNN....Where it concerns US politics, more respondents from the Rush Limbaugh and Hannity & Colmes shows knew that Condi Rice was the current Sec. of State and that the Democrats currently controlled the House of Reps, beating the audiences of Colbert, Stewart, the NewsHour, C-SPAN, Letterman and Leno, CNN and the Nat'l Enquirer. Even O'Reilly's audience didn't fare as well as Limbaugh's and Hannity & Colmes.'

The First Day Of The Long Night
It seems like the only real pleasure I get from television anymore is staying up all night and watching Adult Swim. The Daily Show and The Colbert Report don't make me laugh. I hate the continuous commercials that are always telling me what to do (go green) like I live in the movie "1984". The movies and the news programs (if you can call them that) are also full of messages, so what's the point? There's no free thinking anymore, just cults and their followers, and I've got no place in any of that. God, the post-hippie world is such a disappointment. Even after the invention and spread of computers, people have just grown stupid. I talk to them all the time, online, and what strikes me most is their selfishness. How they think it'll spawn anything but more selfishness is beyond me. So it can't last. Like Rome, they're bringing about the fall of society, and they won't realize what they've lost until it's gone. Then I'll have the last laugh, but I certainly won't think anything's funny. It'll just be a waste. The greatest country on Earth, felled by the willful immaturity of a generation that refused to grow up. Go on - dance your all-important dance, people - the music will stop soon enough.
People who know that race is superficial think electing a black president will stop our enemies. It doesn't get any more surreal than that. But that's cultism for you: I can't talk cultists out of their delusions. I was once married to a cultist who let herself be convinced she could walk through walls. When I told her to show me she just got mad - at me - this election is no different. Later, she let herself be convinced she could cure AIDS and cancer with her hands (Reiki). But when her cult friend with AIDS died she was too much of a coward to stay in the room. I didn't like the guy, so I, alone, watched the cultist die. My wife's mother had cancer and my wife found Dr. Robert Wohlfhart, a homeopathic cultist, to treat her mother in France. Her mother was in excruciating pain for, like, forever before she died. (The homeopathy and Reiki didn't work.) Then the "doctor" talked my wife into fucking him and turned her on to Kundalini Yoga and Ken Wilber. She didn't understand when I didn't understand. All that's come afterwards, to me, is a piece of that. Just the selfishness of others causing the death of all I held dear. But not killing me. Not a chance.
"We hold these truths to be self evident" is a phrase I think about, a lot, these days. I think I'm the last person of my generation who thinks what's self evident is important. Not what I "believe" is possible but what is and will be. Prediction: president Obama will meet Osama bin laden and it won't be pretty. Barack's just going to talk his head off - right into a basket. (The presidency, in real life, ain't an episode of The West Wing.) But it won't happen before the rest of you give in. What? You think Al Qaeda is going to be impressed by Burning Man? You're fools. And it doesn't pay to argue with fools. You're already the walking dead.
I've sometimes wondered how the world would end, and if it would happen in my time; if this generation would be up to the task of keeping America strong. I think I've got my answer. I had no idea, though, it would end like this.
Metalocalypse is on. Home Movies comes on after that. I love these shows.
I'ma enjoy 'em while I can.
And, no matter what happens, you should enjoy:

You're Laughing At Yourselves
What passes for humor in Democratic circles is pretty lame: Sarah Palin is stupid, John McCain is old, etc.. I watched this last night and didn't laugh once, while listening to the liberals - howling - just because Tina Fey showed up.
Like the audiences for David Letterman and Bill Maher (Bush is stupid) or even The Daily Show and The Colbert Report (the Republicans are stupid) it's just too simpleminded to be truly humorous. Just preaching to the choir - without any music - drawing in nobody but the true believers. Comedians should be able to do better.
Now this was good:
Now, that isn't funny because I don't like Bill Clinton (and I don't) but because, on various levels, it effortlessly nails him - as exactly the kind of dishonest, smarmy, disloyal, creep Democrats associate with and defend - which really isn't funny at all, but it got me laughing anyway, what can I say? The ugliness Democrats openly support - while imagining nobody else can see it - cracks me up.
Plus, as hilarious as it may sound, I'll take old and stupid over dishonest and smarmy any day.

David Letterman: It's All About Meeeeeeeee!
This is just sad. I stopped watching Letterman a long time ago, as his show swung to the left and he didn't care that, maybe, everybody didn't agree with him. Like a lot of liberal comedians, he started confusing the too-easy laughter of liberals at the mere mention of the word "Bush" for comedy, and, frankly, I've got better things to do with my time than watching Bush Derangement Syndrome with a laugh track. There's The Daily Show and The Colbert Report (both liberal, but kind of funny) or I can skip the whole issue by watching Family Guy, or the stuff on Adult Swim, which is much funnier, doesn't take cheap shots at the president, and is waaay closer to my "punk" outlook anyway.
But as I said, this rant by Letterman is just sad. He can say all the nice words about McCain he wants, but turning the financial crisis into a bit about him - with Keith Blubbermouth in tow - is a new low for a classic showman I once considered one of the greats of American television. Now I don't know what to think about him. I know I don't like his show anymore. And considering the brain-dead course he's charted, I'm almost sorry I ever did. He used to crack me up, destroying watermelons and things.
Now he's just destroyed himself.
