Current Comedy 2/23/09: Not Only of Cowards Many Americans are finally ready to acknowledge our economy, our country's sense of self, in fact our very existence has been a-swirl in a Chomsky-esque wash of necessary illusions and the truths that were always mounting behind the masks are now massing to destroy us. The threads are at last unraveling; and the emperor's new suit has arrived worn and wrinkled, shoddy and soiled. And we ourselves are to blame. Yipes!

Current Comedy, 1/28/09: The Change Is Going To Do Me Good At what point did the whole spectacle of that whole thing last Tuesday get to you in that break-down-sobbing "There's hope for this country after all" kind of mood, where you clutch to your loved ones and look around at the world with new eyes? Understand I am a professional cynic. The liberal in me had already tapped out a long laundry list of various Obama positions to be wary about.

Tax-Avoiders are Un-American Forget what you think your greedy little pocketbook is telling you. Not paying taxes is so very not-cool. If you are not doing your daily best to make America work, the least you can do is pay on your tab. Paying taxes is doing your part to show you actually care about America more than the $2.50 you spent on that yellow ribbon you bought a couple of years ago which is now so sun faded it's unreadable.

Your Right to Remain Silent For a good while now, the Repubs have fought some of the dirtiest campaigns this side of gonorrhea. Most every Dem lost election in recent times has had an October Surprise. This go-round who will be surprising whom? That depends on who is actually dealing the cards and I think we're going to find out soon.

Current Comedy 8/25/09: “Rev. Right's†Hell House: The 33 Minute Hate More than healthcare, Trent Franks came to Kingman with a mission to sell us something. A missile. He knew he was preaching to the choir on healthcare. But he was here to sell us something: fire and brimstone.

Current Comedy, 1/1/09: Turning Over a New Belief New Year's is as good a holiday as Xmas to represent hope, and it lasts all year long. I know this wish list reads a little extreme, but if you're all out of "world peace," I'll settle for that cheesy sweater you keep re-gifting me.

Current Comedy, 12/16/08: This Year's Holiday Hits Every year some lame pundit whips up some sorry ass Christmas song parodies as if that counted for clever commentary. It's one of the oldest tropes in the business, and who am I not to respect tradition? 'Tis the season to make folly, as they say.

Current Comedy 5/11/09: Your Miss Teen California, Joe the Plumber A closer look at before and after photos of Carrie Prejean on loan from her plastic surgeon reveal quite clearly that "Ms Prejean," as most Americans have come to know her, is actually just the latest attempt to cash in by the once ubiquitous Samuel Wurzelbacher, a.k.a. "Joe the Plumber."

Current Comedy 2/2/09: To Keep Your Interest Like our own personal groundhog, Americans look to Obama to guide them through the stormy weather through his actions in one symbolic moment as if he had the power to change where even one raindrop fell; though Obama has a heftier hand at the tiller than most North American fur bearing mammals.

Have to Be Upside Down Some people will say, ‘why do I pick on these poor people, just trying to practice their religion? Why make it about religion?' My answer is, of course, I never would want to tease about somebody's religion. Except, of course, when that religion wants me dead.

Impeachment Efforts Are Worth It Are we there yet? Not even close. Is it still worth it? For many of us who have been running this marathon we thought we were entering the homestretch and found out we hadn't even made it to the starting gate yet. And yet, both on a personal level and as a citizen, I still say yes.
