The Liberal Media at it Again
The New York Times claims, in this picture a few days ago, that this woman was pushing this man during a Town Hall Healthcare debate in Tampa, Florida. Once again, the liberal media have distorted the facts. Cleary, she’s examining his face for injury after she actually pushed him. He appeared to have no injury. [...]

So the Onion’s new site “Decider” interviewed us last week. They asked us what we thought of certain hot-bed topics in this election and asked us how we would make fun of them. It was fun to do – and they posted the entire thing here! Enjoy – and watch us make fun of these [...]

TOC Reviews (mini) the WTTW Show!
Timeout Chicago put up a little post on the Timeout blog about the new WTTW show IL-Informed. They say public television isn’t funny but obviously Madeline has never seen Rick Steeves. I think that dude is hilarious! Or Between the Lions, which is really funny when high. Anyway, here is the review.
Schadenfreude on Chicago Tonight!
Did you miss it? Did you not set your TiVo – even though we told you yesterday morning it was going to happen? You’re all lucky we are savvy internet users who know how to “encode” and “transfer” and “upload” and “post” and other internet-y things. Best of all, Justin proclaims what [...]

Sun-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 [...]
Imaginary Friends!
Chicago Magazine is out. So they dressed us up in furry costumes (bear, tiger, bunny, elephant) and posed us with a little girl from the Ford Agency. The best part is that they took this picture in two takes – one with just the little girl and Kate and then one with just the boys [...]
Don’t You Just Love Awards?
We do. Especially when we win them. Last year we worked with the tech guys over at AlphaZeta, and put together this interactive holiday card. It was Choose Your Own Adventure format and had us running all over Chicago – from the Adler to the Hideout to Dave’s old place. Our good friend Steve Delahoyde shot and edited for us, AZ did the techy-Flash stuff, and we did the funny.
