Yo MacYippers!

*Evil Republican Ad Genius John Brabender, who's helped to elect nutbags from Tricky Ricky Santorum to David Vitter to Abortion Obsessive Tom Coburn to the U-S Senate is producing a series of political drama webisodes called "Moving Numbers."

*It is being shot right here in The Burgh. I have a small role as a left wing candidate running for office. In one of the first webisodes, Gab Bonesso appears as a radio producer (you'll see her in this trailer) and Lynn Cullen has a role as a left wing talk host.

*A little type casting perhaps? This series will eventually end up on the internet at minimum, and on television at maximum. Check out the trailer below if'n yinz feel like it.

*I will keep yinz posted as to further Moving Numbers developments.

*Yinz can see a second trailer at www.Zolitics.com

*You know we Americans aren't very good at much. Bad reality shows I suppose. But we don't make anything. We can't even manufacture a decent automobile. But one thing I assumed we were still really good at is killing.


*Now Leon Panetta and the gang who couldn't shoot straight at the CIA have disabused me of this notion.

According to current and former U.S. intelligence officials, the CIA spent seven years trying to assemble teams capable of killing the world's most wanted terrorists but could never find a formula that worked.

*My goodness, gracious, me. I suppose I'm thinking of the big kill. Thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians. Your odd Afghan or Pakistani when the drones spin out of control. But the pinpoint, precision, James Bond type of killing, I guess we suck at.

*Maybe we always have and I've been somewhat clueless. No wonder we hired the Mob to kill Castro. And we even screwed that up.

*So in the end we're just a big dumb stumbling, bumbling giant, who can step on tens of thousands of people and kill them instantly, but can never thread the needle.

*What the hell are we still good at? Oh yeah. Dumb reality shows. And arguing over whether Gawd wants you to have five thousand guns in your basement or not.

*I'm willing to wait for health care reform, done right and paid for, but is this "hold the phone" strategy just another stalling tactic on the road to not real reform?

*Public option flies or Obama sucks. Period. Sorry, dude. You set the bar. Now ya gots to jump the hurdle. Or something.

*Tony Norman of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette cracked my ass up this morning with his tale of accidentally going on a right wing nutbag talk show. He probably assumed the talk host was liberal because the host is black.

Mr. Peterson kept asking me to put myself in the shoes of the "poor, white people" and their "chillun" by the pool who had to deal with "bus loads of misbehaving black kids" shipped into their neighborhood from inner-city Philadelphia.

When I told Mr. Peterson that the testimony from those who were actually there, including white club members, was that the day camp kids were polite and orderly, he didn't want to hear it. "You know how those inner city kids are," he said, sounding exactly like Uncle Ruckus. That's when I was convinced I was being "punked."

*Dude, learn to Google. Or maybe ba ba ba Bing!

*Contrary to published bullshit, I do not believe Hillary is being marginalized. At all.

"I really stay focused on the work that I do. I broke my elbow, not my larynx. I have been deeply involved in the shaping and implementation of our foreign policy," she told reporters.


*In fact I think the time away has done her some good, although the injury sounds PAINFUL. She's looking a little Milfier, no?

*The HBO show "Hung" is growing on me. The well hung high school basketball coach is an asshole. And that's what makes it, for me, believable. Well, as believable as this type of entertaining nonsense can be.

*And you could knock me over with a feather when the Mexican drug lord guy suddenly told Nancy he can't marry her on Weeds.

*Or you could knock me over with a large sock full of horse manure, which would probably be easier.

*Thank you Woody.

*When I was googling the "sock full of horse manure" quote I ran across this hysterical Mad TV parody of a fictional Woody Allen meets Die Hard movie trailer.
A must see for Woody fans and foes alike.


*Now that's comedy.

*Twins, Max. 16 years olds. Can you imagine the mathematical possibilities?

*You don't really hear lines like that in movies any more. Wonder why?

*Gab Bonesso has a comedy gig tonight at the Garfield Artworks, along with musicians Whisky, Tango, Foxtrot, and other bands. 8pm.

4931 Penn Ave, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222
Should be a hoot. I'll be there. Will yinz?

*Tomorrow, Saturday night, we've added Pittsburgh filmmaker Chris Ivey to the Pittsburgh Pundits Comedy/Panel discussion show. He'll lend his expertise on Michael Jackson, the hot topic, along with Gab Bonesso, who will make a rare on-the-panel appearance, GOP Mouthy Wench Heather Heidelbaugh, and PG Op-Ed Dude Dan Simpson of your Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Be there and be Theater Square. They gots drinks and parking and everything.

*So we'll cover MJ, Sarah Palin, and Luv Guvs who can't keep their peckers in their pants.


*Presented by your Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, so you know it's classy-assy.
