Morristown BlogBailout Video from Children's Defense FundSubmitted by Michael Hayne on Tue, 09/30/2008 - 4:20pm.Here's a very witty and poignant video that just came to be from my cousin who works for the Children's Defense Fund. Apparently my cousin brought this little sweetie to wall street and shot entirely on location... no green screen or stock footage! Mawkish and sickeningly cutesy though it may be, this kid can read better than Palin on speed, and is more eloquent and articulate than the democratic and republican party put together. Watch for yourself!
Chuck Norris Versus RealitytownSubmitted by Michael Hayne on Fri, 09/12/2008 - 9:27pm.Now, I usually scoff whenever I see or read about a left-leaning first-rate actors pretending to pontificate on the abstruse, byzantine issues simply because I positively adore their profound work. But whenever I see or read about an abysmal second rate actor with conservative leanings really pretending to pontificate on the abstruse, byzantine issues, my soul, brain,and heart all seem to want to collide with my taint. At the risk of dignifying a response to a man with nil credibility, if Norris was so au courant on what the soldiers want he would know that they are donating 6 to 1 in favor of Obama. That is all I will and can say in response to the guy who hawks exercise equipment at 3 am every nite. In fact, I am pretty sure that The Home Gym endorses Obama. In short, watching this man speak is like watching a really bad Chuck Norris movie. OMG! McCain said what about Obama, Courtney?Submitted by Michael Hayne on Tue, 08/05/2008 - 1:06am.Realizing that he clearly cannot win on the issues, the McCain camp recently engaged in a rather unique brand of character assassination when it likened Barack Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton in a recent attack ad. Now, I get that he jettisoned any effort to keep the public discourse substantive a long time ago; hence, the reason why he has only attacked Obama and not articulated his own positions . . . but I don't think creating an ad (poorly) that compares the democratic presidential candidate to a washed-up, perpetually pregnant retard is the best energy plan. Stay tuned next week to hear McCain's position on healthcare when he releases an ad comparing the Illinois to Hannah Montana. Just because Mr. Obama exhibits extraordinary and superior linguistic skills while John McCain sounds like a toy soldier with the batteries dying doesn't mean that you can't call him out on other things. We get it: he's an electrifying speaker!! Now tell me again why he's a stealth Muslim??
NJ Laughing Liberally Lab in Mo-townSubmitted by Michael Hayne on Tue, 07/22/2008 - 4:22pm.I am happy to report an extremely successful and solid lab at Danny's Pub in Morristown, NJ. We had a very enthusiastic, supportive and eclectic crowd of organizers, activists, bloggers, and Tom Wyka (Tom Wyka is a Democratic candidate in the 2008 congressional elections for the 11th Congressional District US Congress)--amounting to total of thirty-plus. We had a very smart and talented group of comics that kept the two and a half hour show alive with their lively pontifications, including an amazing 20 min set from Nasry Malik of CNN and Comedy Central. Plugging all the relevant Living Liberally activities and keeping exuberance high with the telling of anecdotes, Kevin O' Driscoll did an excellent job as host! The highlight of the evening, however, was putting up a very special political guest in Joey Novick. Joey is an attorney, professional stand-up comedian, professional keynote speaker, and a former elected official in NJ. He resides in Flemington, New Jersey, where currently serves as the Stay Tuned for Future Labs! Turn Left to Pennsylvania Ave, our first feature film featuring Laughing Liberally Comedians, just got accepted and nominated into the 2008 AOF Film Festival in LA! A Special thanks to Justin Krebs and the staff at The Tank for allowing us to shoot there. New Yorker-GateSubmitted by Michael Hayne on Tue, 07/15/2008 - 6:53pm.Understanding nonetheless appreciating satire in a country that awards big money to the dude kicked in the crotch the hardest by his overactive ADHD kid and kudos is awarded to the douche that put it up on you tube is a total pipedream.
(They want to put islam into your children's drinking water) Remember Bitter? Indeed, Obama was relentlessly excoriated by McCain and Hillary for explaining this voting phenomenon. But since Obama dispatched Clinton, he has seemed rather more attuned to what the people want to hear or perhaps he has simply traded the wants of a liberal audience for those of a more moderate one. Either way, he is treading that reliably time-worn path every nominee follows to the political center. Barack knows that his leftist rhetoric during the primaries--no flag pins, opposing guns, etc.--doesn't stand a chance in the general election. Thus, he's now in an all out race to pacify disaffected republicans as well as blue dog, working class, lunch bucket Dems by moving towards the center (i.e., pandering to AIPAC, tacitly supporting supreme courts 5-4 decision on gun ownership, and reversing stance on death penalty). In brief, he's a politician running for president. I just "hope" that he issues the New Yorker an apology after winning. Regardless of their beliefs, the New Yorker just raised the bar by lowering it. See all blog posts from this chapter |
