Miller, who famously testified on behalf of the textbook he wrote after Georgia tried to slap an “Evolution is a Theory” bumper sticker on all of their biology primers, and in the landmark Dover, PA case, is a big macher on College Hill.

As if the current election wasn’t hilarious enough, (sigh) Saturday Night Live has finally launched a website dedicated to Election Shitfire 2008, and hopefully will maintain it long after our new national nightmare is finally over. For now, the site features a few choice clips from election-themed Weekend Update segments, including of course the now-classic Tracy Morgan “Bitch Is The New Black” rant, as well as kind-of funny factoids about the candidates, such as things that McCain favors: “5-dollar birthday checks to grandson, Wheel of Fortune.” The site also has great clips from the late 70’s like Chevy Chase’s timeless Gerald Ford impression. It isn’t a knockout yet, but it’s better than this bullshit.

Courtesy of Wonkette, Bert and Ernie debate Obama v. Clinton, and it is sheer brilliance:

And with that, the man who read the Pentagon Papers into the Senate record is doing the Soulja Boy on Youtube.

This had better be good, if it’s gonna justify the amount of re-formatting that was needed to make it intelligible:

AS220, Saturday April 19th, 9pm.
8 dollars Cheap! All Ages

Not your grandma’s vaudeville.
Featuring Comedy from Evan o’Television, Jon Rineman, and the Naked Comic. Yes, he’s really naked.

Burlesque by Bella Minx Burly Q

Weirdo, the human floor

Hosted by the Steamy Bohemians

“Thwack together vaudevillian comic chops, astounding musicality, and oodles of quirky sex appeal and you’ve got the Steamy Bohemians, Boston’s very own darlings of debauchery. Part glam rock, part stand-up comedy, and all sass, steamy duo Lainey Schulbaum and Niki Luparelli seductively tickle audiences with songs like “My Love For You (The Mayonnaise Song),” “Second Cousin,” and “The Ballad of the Bastard,” which the ladies claim are inspired by “chaos, cultural discontent, and gender polarity. And weed.”

Though their banter rivals Lucy and Ethel and their lyrics are borderline absurd, these broads offer more than just a kitschy hook. Both are classically trained sopranos, and Schulbaum’s guitar playing will rock your pretty little face off. Check out their debut album Technicolor Radio or, better yet, their live show Jerkus Circus.

So apparently I made the cut for Yankee Pot Roast’s Half-Decade retrospective. The weird thing is, they didn’t bother to tell me; I just stumbled upon it while browsing their site. They also apparently never received the writer bio I sent them, judging by the snarky one they created for me. Nonetheless, I’m awesome.

The Kids in the Hall do up The Passion… Dr. Seuss style.

The KITH will appear at the PPAC on May 1st.

In the Washington Post, the dumbest woman alive argues that all women are dimwits, using her own complete stupidity to prove the point.

I wish I could be angry about this, but mostly I find it hilarious. Useless anecdotes about Grey’s Anatomy and romance novels! Refutable science about the human brain! This bitch is crazy!

Wait, is it satire? Did she mean to sound like an idiot to prove her point? Because if she actually articulated a good idea then she might be mistaken for an intelligent woman, thus refuting her argument…

This is totally over my head. Maybe I am dumb…

I suppose good writers can’t just turn their brains off for 12 weeks, and if a good idea popped into their heads who could blame them for jotting down a few notes in the fog of their bathroom mirrors. All I know is that last night’s Saturday Night Live was pretty damn good. Not many duds at all. And of course, we all know now that Fred Armisen is their Obama (or Fauxbama as Huffington would have it.) Visually good, but the voice is not there yet.

I also know that I would much rather have walked out of my house this morning and bumped into the fabulous Amy Poehler than the sea of Hill-billies I found clogging up my street and blocking my driveway waiting for Hillary to finish her brunch with Sheldon. Amy is a genius!

Bob Odenkirk is a legendary writer and comedian, as his work throughout the years on amazing stuff like Saturday Night Live, The Ben Stiller Show, and of course Mr. Show have proven. He’s been kinda low-key as of late but one of his current projects, the webcom Dennis and Simon: The Show, on SuperDeluxe is some of the funniest stuff online. It’s not zany, in-your-face, over the top hystericalness, just awesome, awkward dudes in awkward situations acting stupid, which I can relate to. Here’s the episode that hooked me, “Baby Talk” (NSFW)

Like comedy? Like justice?

As our own Davey Dave Segal has written, “PC janitors have been subject to harassment and intimidation as they fight for a fair contract.” With things looking as they do, a whole bunch of comedy groups at PC have decided to put together a benefit show to help build the contracted Hurley of America janitors’ strike fund. The show is tomorrow:

Wednesday, February 6 from 10:30pm to 11:30pm
Bowab Theater in Smith Center for the Arts @ Providence College

Come down for laughs of all shapes and colors! Rejects on the Rise, Harry Houdini’s Box of Doom, and Six Gents will be hosting a comedy night Wednesday, February 6th at 10:30 to raise money for the Hurley Workers. The money will be used to help the workers who are struggling to care for their families. Plus, it’s comedy!!!

Suggested donation: $2.00

Last Friday Scottish-born late-night talk show host Craig Ferguson became an American citizen, thereby removing the final impediment to our happy future together. But alas, he announced last night on his show that he has been tapped for that insidious enemy of American democracy, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner!!! The last of this species should surely have been the superb 2006 Stephen Colbert version. Following last year’s diluted display with the clueless and supposedly inoffensive Rich Little, Frank Rich indicated that the New York Times would no longer be participating. Someone, everyone, needs to put a stake through the heart of this unholy alliance/schmooze-fest. (Craig, I still love you.)

That’s right. You thought it was fine to poke fun at fast-food sandwich rivals with your YouTube and your digital camera and contest challenging netizens to “depict Quiznos sandwiches as ’superior’ to Subway’s.” You were wrong. And you’re being slapped with a massive civil suit.

Subway promptly sued Quiznos and iFilm, the Web site owned by Viacom that ran the contest, saying that many of the homemade videos made false claims and depicted its brand in a derogatory way. Subway is also objecting to ads that Quiznos itself created, showing people on the street choosing Quiznos over Subway.

The dispute over an ad is fairly standard — companies often sue one another over advertising claims — but the video contest raises a novel legal question: Quiznos did not make the insulting submissions, so should it be held liable for user-generated content created at its behest?

See the winner of the libel-fest above. Legal questions aside though, what ever happened to that Quizno’s downtown? (more…)

Holy crap!

Brattleboro residents will vote at town meeting on whether President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney should be indicted and arrested for war crimes, perjury or obstruction of justice if they ever step foot in Vermont.

The Brattleboro Select Board voted 3-2 Friday to put the controversial item on the Town Meeting Day warning…

So far, Vermont is the only state Bush hasn’t visited since he became president in 2001.

This photo was taken of the president the last time he was in Vermont:

The inside scoop from an anonymous D.C. tipster:

The two men who interrupted Hillary Clinton’s speech in NH on Monday, January 7th with shouts of “ Iron my shirt!” were, as many of us have suspected, planted by H-bomb and her staffers. Thanks, Hill, for simultaneously accusing your opponents of sexism while organizing your stooges to spew hatred.
