Last night, my friend Jeff posted something on his wildly popular humor site about the time that, against his will, I picked up hitchhikers while we were driving between LA and San Francisco. He was nice enough to include a link to my site in his post, and apparently quite a few folks took the bait and checked out MM.com… only to be greeted by my ranting about Dingell and hand-wringing over the automotive bailout. And, let’s just say that not everyone made the transition from red-state comedy to blue-state politics easily. Here’s a comment left on Jeff’s site at 3:48 pm this afternoon by a fellow calling himself Rick:

Way back when Ronnie Reagan was learning the presidency, my girlfriend at the time and I hitched from Huntsville Alabama out to L.A and back. Took 3 months. Southern route out; northern route back.

So many stories. So many nice, decent, generous people. But the weird ones jump into my mind. Some guy around Chicago wanted us to go with him to make porno movies. “Hey look, there’s my exit…”

One guy I probably wouldn’t take a ride from is Jeff’s friend Mark he linked to in this update. I went to his blog. The guy’s kind of a douche. No he’s solidly a douche.

That’s me – solid douche. 100%. All the way through.
