ANOTHER "ANYTIME" PROMO

Just in case anyone was interested. There's a new promo I created for the talk show I created with my brother-in-law. It features some pretty interesting and funny guests too. We launch this Thursday at Crackle.com! Be sure to check it out!

THE REASON I'VE BEEN AWAY...

After the election, I've been dedicating my time to a less honorable, but more humorous venture. You see, I've created a five-minute talk show that shoots in my garage and features the hosting talents of my brother-in-law. Now this would be silly and stupid, if it weren't for the fact that we've interviewed some actual celebrities over the past few weeks. We've had John Stamos, Howie Mandel, Jerry Springer, Rob Corddry and many other talented individuals traipsing through my living room with a confused look on their face, not knowing they were about to take part in internet history.

We premiere on Sony's website (Crackle.com) on December 18th. Here's the promo for the show:

PALIN SIMPLY CAN'T TELL THE TRUTH

It's truly something to behold. Sarah Palin (with Greta Van Susteren) on that whole book banning thing:

And then, too, things that, again, so easily could have been corrected about my supposed attempts to censor and ban books when I was the mayor of Wasilla. And one of the examples that they gave was that media was just sure that one of the books I tried to ban was Harry Potter. Of course, it hadn't even been written when I was the Mayor of Wasilla.

Just for the record, Sarah Palin was Mayor of Wasilla from 1996-2002. The first Harry Potter book was published in 1997. In fact, FOUR BOOKS in the Harry Potter series came out during Palin's tenure as Mayor.

Does that mean she tried to ban them? No. But when your explanations aren't even based in fact - you're on very shaky ground. I for one will say "Thanks, but no thanks" to Palin for the rest of my lifetime.

60 MINUTES: OBAMA'S INNER CIRCLE

As I watched this, I couldn't help but smile while thinking about Rudy Guiliani and Sarah Palin's sarcastic cracks about "community organizers". Simply put, the RNC got their ass kicked by grass roots organization that flipped once richly-red states like Indiana and North Carolina to Obama.

TALK ABOUT A DILEMMA AT THE POLLS

Bacon wins every time!

GOP HITS "ROCK BOTTOM", ADMITS SOME SCARY STUFF

The Washington Times published an article today which shows the severe cracks in the Republican Party. However, at one point the article quotes one Thaddeus G. McCotter a Michigan Congressman saying something odd:

"We're rock bottom. We are now free to start thinking again, acting again, and doing the right thing by what our constituents and our country need."

What the hell?! Does this mean that when the Republicans were riding high, it was somehow okay to "not think", "not act", and "not do the right things" for their constituents and the country?

PALIN DIDN'T KNOW AFRICA WAS A CONTINENT

Hey, remember when John McCain defended Sarah Palin again and again as being "ready" to take over as President? Remember when the public was starting to get the idea that Palin wasn't so smart about world affairs, but right-wingers called it "gotcha journalism"? Remember when conservative journalists were being blasted by the right-wing for criticizing Palin's intellect? Well, it turns out that not only were we right - but we didn't even know the HALF OF IT?!

Here's a segment where Carl Cameron lets the public in on the "super secretive" world of the McCain Campaign following Sarah Palin's selection. And remember, it was Cameron who followed the campaign - and this interview is taking place on Fox News of all places:

I truly believe that these types of revelations will hurt John McCain way more than the unseemly negative campaigning we saw in the last few weeks. After all, McCain was talked into selecting Palin after only a brief meeting, he backed her after knowing her lack of knowledge on important issues, and he (and his campaign) sought to deceive voters through limiting her contact with the media.

County first? Yeah, right.

FOX NEWS ASKS, "WHY DID McCAIN LOSE?"

Crooks and Liars posted this a few hours ago. Apparently, Fox News started a message board thread that asked their audience to answer the question, "Why did John McCain lose?" One of the more disturbing responses came in just before midnight:
As of this morning (at 10:34 AM Pacific) it's still there (bottom of the page). Now Fox's own Bill O'Reilly has famously slammed websites like DailyKos and others for having message board postings like this. He's on record as calling them "hate sites" and comparing them to Nazi Germany and the Ku Klux Klan. Yet there's seemingly no editor at multi-million dollar news organization to remove this stuff?

UPDATE: It's still there at 3:00 PM Pacific. Will O'Reilly mention it on his show this evening?
