I just read an interesting article about how at the finals for the next season of "Last Comic Standing" on NBC, that Brett Butler, one of the celebrity judges, stormed out when the producers of the show overrode the judges decisions and selected whoever they wanted to move on.

I think that was a run on sentence, but I couldn't figure out how to do it differently.

Anyways, I actually never saw one minute of the first Last Comic Standing, but it obviosuly doesn't surprise me that the whole thing is fixed. I've even talked to some of the comics who were in the last one, and they were telling me all about who was friends with the host, Jay Mohr, and the other producers/managers, and how that effected who moved on.

It obviously doesn't come as a surprise that NBC, or any other network would do anything to get what they want, but the idea that they even "cheat" on a reality show, makes this whole thing all the more nauseating. Or maybe, for me, it is all the more nauseating, because I see good life-long comedians who have no choice but to try to be part of crappy reality shows because the industry is so dead thanks to reality TV in the first place.

I've probably babbled on about this before so I will get off my soapbox in 3...2...1...

Ok then, so how about that President Bush? Is he an idiot or what? C'mon people!

Ahh, okay back into comic mode.

Does it bother anyone else that Bush and John Kerry both went to Yale and were in the same secret Skull and Bones Society? If you don't know what it is, think of the movie Fight Club, but with Republicans. And now two of them are running against each other for President. Smells like something is rotten in Stinktown.

Everyone is all upset about Barry Bonds and Jason Giambi and some other baseball players possibly taking steroids. Please, you know how many comics are on zoloft? Where's the public outcry on that one?

If you don't watch Bill Maher's HBO show you are missing by far the sharpest, wittiest comedy on television.

So NASA is saying they've founf proof there was water on Mars. I guess that means if martians had iced tea mix they could've made iced tea. Everyone loves iced tea.

McDonalds announced that it is phasing out Supersize meals by the end of the year. Fat people have since announced that they would like to see McDonald's package the grease from the fryer in frozen form as a desert.
