Welcome to my blog. Every so often I just like to comment on stuff both topical and personal. The more one writes, the better the opportunity for comedic bits come out and more importantly to see if others either agree or get riled up. Personally, I tend to go off on people who, whether they realize it or not, are stupid. Then again, they probably don't read either. Hey, when you hit 97, you'll be just as cranky as I am. Want to offer your opinion? I welcome the discourse or debate.

One More Presidential Debate to Go
One of the advantages or sometimes disadvantages to having an early morning radio show is that you're on the air before Wall Street opens. Come 6:30am West Coast time you get to hear the news like everyone else does when I engage the satellite to play the CBS News early morning roundup. Although not a stock market guy (no 401K plan in the comedy world) I know that when one constantly is bombarded by these 24 hour cable news programs it can make one feel pretty depressed. That is why I temper my show with as much humor as possible especially on Fridays. I have been wrapped up into the whole political landscape and not just at the national level either.
It gets pretty nasty even regionally. I did predict that at some point Joe Biden, VP candidate from the Democratic ticket will probably snap pretty soon and tell Palin off in some capacity. I bet that Barack is holding him back or reminding him to cool his jets but I wouldn't mind seeing the gloves off and just have them go at it. I did receive my sample ballot while overseas and I know it is always good to be positive and optimistic but I still have to laugh when I see candidates for the Green, Libertarian and Peace and Freedom Party (Ralph Nader again by the way). I guess they have to run if anything so that they can write-off their failed bid for the presidency but still sure seems like a lot of wasted votes and I bet Nader is still taking shit from throwing the election back in 2000 when Al Gore ran. Anyway, with regard to the two main contenders after talking and playing some parody bits about them this morning I received an email from Marty with this picture and the caption that read, "If the Candidates Were Trains."
