04.30.08Hey, I’m Not Dissing Franken or Anything… But…
Do you think he would have gone through and paid all his back taxes of his own volition? I know he’s a liberal, and I’m not trying to talk about his campaign, or what he stands for, or what he can do, or what he’s done on AirAmerica, or his political views overall - I’m just talking about him as a person. Hell, I can’t comment on his political views because, other than just tossing the word “liberal” on him, I have no idea what he’s really fighting for in Minnesota. I could take the time to look it up, but I think I’d rather watch YouTubeHulu videos of his old SNL stuff. But back on the topic of his taxes - if he had never decided to run for office, if he had never decided to do something that would thrust him into the limelight/searchlight/microscope that is American politics - would he have ever woken up one morning and said,“Shit. I’ve gotta write that check for $70,000 to those 17 states. Franni, remind me to do that before noon, ok honey?”
Honestly, I wouldn’t have. And if I were Al Franken, I’d make my accountant, who I probably pay a good amount of money to keep track of shit like this, pay some of it too. Or at least do something embarrassing, like on his website say, “I’m the douchebag who fucked up Al Franken’s taxes. Call me, and I can help you with your taxes.”

04.10.08Sun-Times Wants me Dead.
Did you get a chance to see the great article in the Sun-Times about political comedy in Chicago? They interviewed me and they also had a feature on our entry into local TV. And they did a little feature about what we think of making fun of GW. At any rate, the writer Darel Jevens had one quote pulled out and blown up in the newspaper version. And unfortunately it was from me: “You’ve got guys like Daley and guys like Todd Stroger. Whatever your political leanings, just the idea that they got in is ripe for comedy.” Hey Jevens! I walk alone at night. I have real estate taxes. I have a family to protect now. Thanks for making me public enemy #2 (Zell is #1). If I don’t show up for next week’s rent party, it’s because I’m tied up in Stroger’s basement and Mayor Daley is shoving a soccer ball up my butt (ouch). Good thing this isn’t the Ukraine because someone might try to poison my soup. Huh? Remember that? Topical!

03.25.08The McCain Girls
Alright, who gave the crrraaaazy gals in the Human Resources department a cam-corder? And how come they had the time to clip art the shit out of McCain, but not enough time to look up “clothes you shouldn’t wear when shooting on a greenscreen”. Also, I know how to get “absolutely soaking wet” but I am yet unfamiliar as to how I should get “absolutely John McCain”. Please advise. And finally, I am thrilled that the one African-American person who will be voting for McCain has finally released her YouTube video. We’ve been waiting to hear from her.

03.13.08What Does $5000 Look Like?
You willing to throw everything away for this? $5000+ pain and suffering for Silda. Yikes. The sex had better been worth it. I mean, the kind that really makes you question every choice you had ever made in your entire life kinda sex.
Honestly - doesn’t look like it from here….
