Supreme Court Rules Death Penalty Is 'Totally Badass'
Supreme Court Rules Death Penalty Is 'Totally Badass'
Update at 4:08pm: YouTube has pulled the video due to copyright b.s. Meanwhile you can find it at 236.com, Crooks & Liars and Gawker.
See where it all began.
Wexler is one of the few congresspeople with balls, supporting impeachment hearings.
More on the event from the NY Daily News and more on impeachment at Wexlerwantshearings.com Also, Wexler supports Obama, so he's got to be pretty decent :)
hat tip to Tim McIntire for sending me the first clip
Yall, Detroit is off the chain. What is in the water out there?! I don't know if this is how normal city council meetings go down, but I hope not.
This first clip is Detroit City Council Member Monica Conyers (wife of John Conyers) getting into it with the council president and calling him "Shrek" then having to answer for her behavior in front of schoolchildren.
The next clip is a strange interview with Charlie LeDuff of the Detroit News. He kind of clowns her and they re-enact the drama. Enjoy?
Hooray for Current TV
Months ago, someone posted on one of my standup videos that I was a "dumbass libral crackhead welfare sucker." I loved that so much, I added it to my press kit.
Now the ante has been raised. I just got this via YouTube email
There are a lot of stupid people, and the Internet gives all of them the tools to express themselves. Also, dude misspelled my name.From: jacob1975wSubject: sUPYou look hideous in your profile picture (very low and thin forehead (resulting in a very small cranial space which in turn results in a much smaller then average brain size and from the looks of it possible mental retardation) ape-face and a simian shelf jaw) perhaps this could explain all the hollering and dancing around like a retard- you dont even look human, sorry to tell you but someone was bound to say this. This is what you look like barantunde. Also, I should add, you have NO NECK. Couldnt amount to being more then a comic? SHIT
Today I got a notice from Yahoo Groups that someone was unsubscribing from my "baratunde-standup" list. I set this thing up in 2002 and last used it then. It was when I first started doing standup. I looked back to the very first message, and here's what I found:
Subject: Baratunde LIVE again??? Defying all conventional wisdom as well as environmental considerations, the good people at The Comedy Studio have invited me back after my performance of exactly one month ago. This is rather significant for me, considering that my last performance there was due only to my being in a comedy class. But not this time. This time, it's a REAL GIG. With REAL audience members. And REAL tomatoes. So why am I telling you this? Well, many of you owe me money and/or favors. Your presence at my show would go a long way toward forgiving some of this debt. Others of you just had the ill-considered fortune to leave your email addresses within my grasp. For those who saw the last show, I'll be doing SOME of the same material, but I'm mixing it up with a little something new.
