4/24 -- Discovering live comedy again has been great ! We are lucky to have so many cool venues and creative people sharing excellent material on life and our times. .. Have already seen and loved Tom Rhodes, Joe Klocek, Paul Mooney, and more -- Robin Williams tomorrow. Comedy Against Evil on Friday... Hope to see some McCain stuff trotted out -- I think of him like an odd penguin or Donald Duck's uncle or maybe that Leghorn cartoon. Some kind of paltry poultry...
4/25: Still hankering to see more Creepy Grampy McCain and issued a request to Comedy Against Evil -- described Grampy as a moulting penguin... perhaps a duck who's been severely scrubbed down after an oil spill... He does kind of waddle as he walks. Perhaps he has a bionic spine?
But let's not forget Grampy's salad days -- Hair slicked back, ruffled white shirt, turquoise satin blazer and black slacks-- on stage with the Keating Five. Can we do up the right doo wop tune, fellas? Something about loving bundles of cash, or bailing out my buddies behind the village bank?
Dazzling Robin didn't do much on Grampy last night... Is that just far too creepy a subject? -- Torture doesn't lend itself to laughs. I deeply flinch at casual Gitmo jokes. As a nation, we have dived (done dove) so far down that the cynics' buried idealism can't squeak out of the mountains of blood and guts piled up over the past 7 years. Too damn grimy... Habeus Corpus, my friend... How do we joke about that?... But shouldn't we ask Cainy, oh, I mean McCain, whether he was "coercively interrogated" or just plain tortured when he was a POW... Did he have water forced down this throat or was it more gently poured? How do you transition off of this bit ? ... Onto his disregard for the needs of veterans? Gee, that'll be fun...
