Just when you thought I couldn't find anything else to write about Star Wars I came across this article on FoxsNews.com. Truly incredible...

Who would think that there are 390,000 self-proclaimed Jedi in England? We could use some of them in America to tackle the religious right.

Hillary is projected to win West Virginia by a landslide today. Considering the earthquake in China, the cyclone in Myanmar and the wildfires in Florida, I really don't think anyone should be hoping for a landslide these days. Be careful what you wish for, Hillary.

Anyone else 50-50 on Indiana Jones? Maybe if they called The Speilberg-Ford Cashcow I'd be more excited...

In case you haven't seen it already, this clip proves that Bill O'Rielly wasn't always the nice, pleasant guy we all know today. I wonder if my first TV meltdown will be anything like this...

Warning: Crazed, Fan-Boy Alert!!!

The official poster for Star Wars: The Clone Wars has been released. For those of you who don't know about it (hard to believe), the movie takes between Episodes II and III and will more deeply explore the war that ultimately crushed the Old Republic. It is a digitally animated movie that will lead into a series on Cartoon Network. Let's just hope that doesn't affect their Tom and Jerry reruns.*

*I don't know if they actually run T&J, but if not just insert your cartoon of choice.

Lots of cartoon references here lately, I guess that is because real-life is so overrated.

Speaking of real-life, lemme get out there. More later...

I just read that Hillary has secretly lent her campaign 6.4 million dollars in recent weeks. You know you've gotta have Scrooge McDuck type money when you can lend yourself 6.4 million. The real question is whether the Clinton's keep their money in a bank or in a giant room where they can swim in it, just like McDuck himself.

Speaking of Scrooge McDuck, it should be noted that Ducktales is one of the most underrated cartoons ever. The episode where the kids trick Scrooge into thinking it is allowance day and thus cause financial markets all over the world to go nuts is simply genius.

Gummy Bears was pretty good, too...

First off, I want to thank those of who who commented/e-mailed me about the coffee filter. Even my mom e-mailed me about it, which I believe is her first Rubinville related correspondance. For the record, I am using a gold tone filter, like the one pictured above. Clearly, several of you think that I'm not so bright and thus would use a regular paper filter more than once, but I do appreciate your concern nonetheless. I should also note that it was a particular honor to get a comment from Juan Valdez's mothers neighbor.

The day got kinda busy today and I was unable to make it to Central Park. Such is the life of an G-List star.

Headed to see Iron Man now. I'm guessing he wins the big fight at the end. Anyone wanna take a bet on that?

The big North Carolina and Indiana primaries are today. It's a little know fact that there are actually more pigs than people in North Carolina. Pigs generally vote Republican, so I don't think that will effect the outcome of the primaries today. Unfortunately, there is little chance that anyone will be saying "That's all folks", about the Democratic nomination process by the end of today.

This thing, much like the movie "AI" just won't end.

(That was the first ever "AI" reference anywhere in roughly four years.)

On an unrelated note, does anyone know how many times you can use a coffee filter before replacing it? I think I'm pushing the limits on this thing.

It's a gorgeous day out there, full post from Central Park this afternoon...

Barbara Walters is set to announce that she had an affair with Edward W. Brooke, a married Senator from Massachusetts in the 1970's. That makes them the second hottest black-Jewish couple of the 1970's, right behind Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder.

(Yes, Barbara is Jewish, though clearly the WASPiest Jew in the history of the world.)

So, I wanted to thank you guys for your nice comments about my upcoming projects and I also just wanted to clarify something: The Dave Rubin Project will be air on TV only, though I'm sure in time there we'll YouTube some of it. Topical, my new talk show, will be a podcast just like B&D, so even if you don't get here!, you will still get Dave!

Oh, and also, not to worry, I will always make time for Rubinville. I don't wanna get voted off my own website.

Time Warner Cable just added CNN to their HD package here in NYC. Lou Dobbs in HD seems like a torture device right out of Saw, doesn't it?

I just read that they are making a prequel to The Lord of the Rings. As you all know, I like my fantasy stories in a galaxy far, far away, and thus will not go see this movie. In a related story, I have committed to seeing Sex and the City at midnight on May 30th. There are Jedi in that, right?

Iron Man comes out today. Hmm, that reminds me of a porn I once saw...

Deep breath people, here we go...

Okay, so first off I should tell you that Ben and Dave is no more, though it will continue to air on here! for another month or so. Things happen in this biz, and that's that.

My big announcement is that I will be doing a sitcom for here! entitled The Dave Rubin Project. I can't get too deep into the specifics at the moment but it will be a twelve episode season that we will begin shooting in a matter of weeks. I've brought in some of my favorite people to write it, and we're also casting some of my old comic buddies.

On top of that, I will be doing a new podcast called Topical, where I'll be bringing on a couple guests per week to discuss current events and general life stuff.

And finally, Hot Gay Comics will be becoming a TV show and I'll be doing a half-hour stand-up special to launch the series.

I think that's enough for now, agreed?

Thanks for sticking with me this far, and though I've said this before, this really is just the beginning...
