Tina Fey Will Get the Republican Elected… Doh!

Could McCain shoot himself in the foot any better?  He has complimented “his opponent” like at least 5 times now.  Savage said a few days back that he had shot off all his toes and was standing on one hand now.

He won’t even try to deal with the 20 million invaders to the US.

He also voted (just like “his opponent”) to bail out the poor investments of others.. at tax payer expense.

He has Carly Fiorina on board… failed CEO..Buehler? anyone?

Enter Tina Fey.. as Sarah Pailn.

Savage thinks the averageness of Sarah Palin may save the ticket.

And Tina Fey pushes it right over the top… You betcha…  Joe Sixpack

Haha

A Few Words in Honor of Bernie Mac

Wow, what a terrible start to the day.  Just a few weeks ago that we lost George Carlin.  Now another comedy legend is gone.

His style was fresh and unique and will be missed.

Prayers go out to his family and friends.

Here’s the link where the Chicago Suntimes is reporting the news

Project Dave (On hold) … TalkShow with Spike Feresten

I recently submitted a dream guest list to Spike Feresten which contained numerous celebrities that had… yet to appear… on the show.

One of which (and no doubt the hardest to book, scheduling, etc) was legendary talkshow host (and Spike’s former boss) David Letterman.

I was encouraged however in that my past years repeated lobbying of Spike to have on Adam Carolla, perhaps yielded some fruit….as the Aceman will indeed be on in March 2008 (show already taped) as he promotes the wide release of “The Hammer” movie.

So…… Spike always the smarty…. politely replies to my submission with… “I’ll have Dave on. Call him and set it up.”

seeing how I, as a regular person and not in the biz, would have like a 0.000001% chance of pulling this off, much less get a call through to Dave.

Dave has been on with Oprah (finally) and Conan and with Johnny Carson…and with Spike?

So…. stay tuned… I say Dave will be up for great fun in freaking out Spike…

More to come as the story develops.

**********************************************
On 2/16/2008 Spike gets around to telling me that the second season taping is wrapping and perhaps said challenge will be for late summer when season 3 would start.

Dave as first guest for season 3 ? quips Spike…

So… looks like all the fun is on hold til we know about the logistics of the show getting picked back up, etc.

So…once again..more on this as it becomes obvious.

Some Late Night Talk Shows Back…

Letterman, that was able to negotiate a deal with the Writers Guild union, quipped…something like….”Well it’s been two monthes and Im glad to be out of rehab”

The Foster Brooks-esque beard was in keeping with Conan O’brien…also sporting winter regalia.

Letterman later quipped…”I look like a lost hiker” haha

Robin Williams was on with Letterman and related his USO experiences in performing for the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan,,,and several one night stands…..

Jimmy Kimmel, Conan and Leno were all on..sans writers.

Leno had Huckabee. Kimmel had Andy Dick

Kimmel had a deal where they played some old clips so the writers would get some residuals.

There was quite a bit from all shows as far as kissing butt to the writers. That got old pretty quick. But better than pure reruns anyway.

On Thursday night, Craig Ferguson matched wits with Huckabee. The Huck continuing to jump picket lines…interesting…
Ferguson quipped with Huckabee..something about Caucausing was something done behind closed doors…
It was a pretty good interview actually.

Some New TV Shows Despite the Writer’s Strike…

New Late Night with Conan O’brien as well as, Late Show with David Letterman starting January, 2, 2008 albeit sans writers except the hosts themselves. Carson Daly has already returned to production.

When I messaged Spike Feresten… He gave a very George Bush reply… something like… I havent ruled it out (going back in Jan)   So they may return with TalkShow
…or just bomb Iran…

We’ll stay with that story as it develops.

Btw, I’m not against what the writers are concerned about, but it will be nice to see fresh stuff on TV. The thought of the onslaught of “reality” shows and games shows is depressing….

In a related story…just saw a promo for American Gladiators…yeah thats some wore out crap from the 70’s or 80’s haha

Malaysia to Make and Export…”Islamic” Cars

Sometimes news items just leap on the wordpress all by themselves… I guess the other cars of the world just didn’t have enough “bang” for the Buck ….. anymore.

I’m guessing they are using that Pinto design that was ahead of its time.

Looks like they will call this model…the “Proton”.. As names like..
“the Surge”,
“Boom”,
“Bam”,
“Terrorist” and
“Jihad”
were already taken by other car makers…

The features include (and as Dave Barry would say… I swear Im not making this up…)

Proposed by Iran, the collaboration would include installing features in automobiles such as a compass to determine the direction of Mecca for prayers, and compartments for storing the Quran and headscarves.
First link expired…

This one should talk about it too. http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Malaysian_car_maker_unveils_’Islamic_car’

.More on this as I get a chance…

Barack Obama is Kin to America and You Can Too

What is the obsession about Barack Obama’s heritage? Saw his appearance a week or so back on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and when Jay asked about the newest geneology connecting him to Dick Cheney…

He replied that he wouldn’t be attending the family hunting expedition.

I thought he handled this distraction well.

So he’s kin to everyone… Now can we get back to letting this man and his family address real issues pertinent to the presidency… Mahalo…

Here is the first Barack Obama geneology distraction via CNN.

http://mrobvious.wordpress.com/2007/03/04/per-cnnbarack-obama-was-kin-to-who/

The title was a take off on the new book from legendary comedy guy Stephen Colbert.
