Every June, young girls swarm like drunken bees into the comedy clubs, with the queen wearing some form of casual bridal veil. It has been going on as long as Feminists have been telling women they should emulate men. They call the swarms "Bachelorette Parties," but the mood is quite distinct from the events men have been holding, since the dawn of Marraige. I've been doing a routine about the

A few months ago, I speculated that the President was trying very hard not to do what came natural to any red blooded American male, that he knew he was being watched, and he knew what would happen if he snuck in a glance.Well this photo popped up on the Drudge Report today:And if my speculations are correct there are going to be some lamps flying around the Presidential Suite in L'Aquila tonight

Here's a video of one of my older classic bits.It was recorded way back in 1998, but I think it is still as relevant today, as it was a decade ago. Since then, I've been told that another comic has picked up on it, and did something really similar on a cable special.That's one of the reasons why I chose to submit it to the "Open Mic Challenge" on the new Comedy Central website. I want to show

I saw this photo on the internet today, and I think it proves what I've always been saying about the Obamas. Michelle is no Hillary. There is absolutely no way that this man is going to to be ever caught with an intern. He might be a Fearless Leader, but there is one woman who keeps him in unholy terror."Okay...I can do this...eyes staight ahead...no sideways glances, there's cameras all over

I wrote the following for Big Hollywood. Unfortunately, concerns over some of the more controversial remarks, required editing that took most of the humor out of the piece. So I have reposted it here:Sean Penn scolded opponents of something he called “Gay Marriage.” Apparently, he thinks gay marriage was made illegal in California. Certainly Sean, a lifelong resident of Hollywood, should

In the short span between my last review and today, we’ve seen the President sign a stimulus package so full of pork that Obama’s father would have been forbidden to touch it, along with a bump on the head, a scripted and sputtering press conference, and a contradiction from someone who actually understands how business works. Obama also appeared onstage in the theatre where Lincoln was shot,

So it’s after a gig*, and I’m sitting at the bar with another comic, and a couple of girls who thought we were the funniest guys they had ever met. Things are heating up, but I’m starting to feel a little apprehensive because it’s just too easy. When I don’t have to work at something, I always start to wonder if there’s something wrong. Either I’m about to be robbed, or there’s a flaw I haven’t

An alert listener sent this list, Top 10 perks of the UPCOMING Obama presidency to Jerry Agar last week, and the two of us had a blast coming up with our own. Here goes:After a time people figure out that the president DOESN"T solve all their problems and some of them actually work to fill their own gas tanks and pay their own mortgage.Jerimiah Wright can come out of retirement.

I'm on the wrong side. After one year with Jerry's Kidders, we were on the top of the the ratings. No show on AM was doing better than Jerry Agar. The other kidders and I were in negotiations with Hyundai to perform at the Chicago Auto Show, and we were excitedly planning our first year anniversary event.At which point, the station decided to switch hosts.

Last Halloween, I found this political cartoon which seemed vaguely reminiscent of my very famous Halloween Tax bit. But circulating this year, is an OLDER cartoon that seems even more like a rip off.For those of you who might be a little memory deficient, here is the tax bit in question:Incidentally a lot of people were bugging me about how that contest ended up.

I've heard that when a family that suffers a great loss at Christmas time, that the joy of the season is lost on them forever. When the decorations and lights start appearing in stores, they feel a sense of impending dread in the pit of their stomaches. I feel much the same way about these early days of fall, when the crystal blue skies, and cool dewey grass, reminds me of that picture

Here's a great video news story, from the segment on the Barack Obama Show we did on WLS.

Were you listening? It was one of the funniest radio shows of this political season, and if you weren't tuning in, you haven't missed the boat.Myself and three other comics spent an hour trading Barack Obama jokes, on WLS 890 AM. It was a grand success. Reviews have been great, and I think it contained some of the funniest Obama jokes to date. Did you miss it? It's not too late, Thanks to the

After eight long years of listening to "George Bush Is So Stupid" jokes, I think it's time for change; not just in the White House but in the Comedy House as well. According to a recent article in the New York Times, there is nothing funny about Barack Obama. Apparently all the late night, and comedy news show hosts are lax to make jokes about the Democrat nominee for President. Well that

Well it just stands to reason. If you smoke too much pot, you'll probably be high all the time, and act stupid.But it turns out that new study indicates there might be physical evidence of actual brain shrinking. Over at Jerry Agar's Blog I weigh the evidence.

I ran across this video clip recently. The author claims that he has a argument that "even the most hardened skeptic and the most panicked activist both can agree on."He also said the he's putting it out there, to check if his" reasoning is dellusional. Because frankly, no one [he's] shown it to so far, has been able to poke a hole in it." But there's nothing I adore more than a challengeReally?

So what's the latest threat to humanity that Scientists are linking to Global Warming? Over on Jerry Agar's Blog I take a big chomp out of the latest ridiculous claim."Apparently, referring to Global Warming is the scientific equivalent of getting out of a limousine with a skirt and no underwear."

A recent article suggests that close to 60% of all scientists take non-medical drugs during work. Perhaps that's why it seems that everything coming out of the labs these days is dark and ominous. My latest post over at the WLS blog investigates the latest Apocalyptic prediction from our friends in the scientific community.

Well who would have thought, that Smoking bans kill more people than Second Hand Smoke. But a recent study from the University of Wisconsin, indicates that it could be very likely.I put another post over at Jerry Agar's Blog on the WLS website. Sometimes it's better to leave well enough alone.

Those who have been following my intermittent threads, know that Second Hand Smoke Legislation is one of my major peeves. The risk from exposure is so minor that only the most paranoid should concern themselves.In previous posts, I mentioned that the health risk from working in a smoky bar is less than the health risk from, a couple bags of microwave pop corn, or a can of pop every day.In an
