I wanted to write tonight about Chris Lee, the family-values touting Republican Congressman from New York who resigned today, after getting busted for soliciting sex on Craigslist, and the very real possibility that a similar fate may await John Boehner, but I got sucked into watching videos instead. I hate to admit it, but I’m a lazy sack of shit sometimes, just like the rest of you.
Wasting time with Tim Carey, Tila Tequila and Charlie Brooker

That is the first time I’ve ever found Jennifer Aniston even remotely interesting.
As for Carey, have you seen this footage of his never completed film Tweet’s Ladies of Pasadena? It’s incredible.

He plays “Tweet Twig, the only male member of the Don’t-Drop-A-Stitch Knitting Club, in the unfinished film. In it he has a 300 pound wife, goes everywhere on a pair of roller skates, and tries to clothe all the homeless and naked animals in the world.”
I like Tila Tequila better when she’s covered in juggalo poop.
Where are our smart, adult comedians these days? We’ve got Jon Stewart and, to some extent, Tina Fey, but who is there beyond that? Everything is shock value and over-the-top gross-out humor. We need a Groucho. We need a Will Rogers.
Groucho was friends with Alice Cooper.

I’ll see your Jack Benny and raise you a Marilyn Monroe.

I need to interview Alice Cooper. Does he still spend time here, in Michigan? Does anyone have his number?
Tim Carey should have mated with Tura Satana. Can you imagine that?
