PITTSBURGH CITY PAPER SHORT LIST OF STUFF TO DO!

http://www.pittsburghcitypaper.ws/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A88171
Thursday, December 9th Comedy!

Boomers versus Millennials -- it's not a lost episode of Battlestar Galactica. It's the Generation Wars standup comedy tour, a locally itinerant affair that pits graying grumpster John McIntire against attention-span-challenged young 'un Gab Bonesso. McIntire on apathetic under-30 voters: "Thanks to the young people, we have John Boehner, the Lizard King, as the speaker of the House." Bonesso: "John's bitching because none of us vote? I'm sorry -- make it an iPhone app!" The skirmishes continue Thursday, December 9th at the Improv at the Waterfront.
412-551 3077 or www.GabBonesso.com

It's gonna be GROOVY/and/or/AWESOME!

BIG BOOMERS VS. MILLENNIALS SHOW 2-NITE!
I know I've been endlessly plugging and hammering away at this show. But seriously, it's gonna rock! Gab and I will hopefully see you tonight at 8pm at the Improv.

My thanks to the WXDX-FM 105.9 Morning Show with Tim Benz and producer Bob McClaughlin for putting Gab and I on the rad-dad-daddio (yes, I'm that old) this morning for another plug. If you hang around after the show, we'll be happy to plug you. 'Cause that's how we roll. Er somethin.'

PERCEPTION IS REALITY IS AN ENIGMA WRAPPED IN A PUZZLE HIDDEN IN THE CHEESE WHIZ

I don't think I live in the real world. Or if I do, it is beyond my comprehension.

I, and countless others, have railed against the vapidity that is Sarah Palin. Vapidity. Is that a word?

It doesn't matter. Who the fuck's going to refudiate it?

But because I'm not the only one who doesn't understand what the hell's happening (all Republicans care about is tax cuts for the rich, the public is firmly against tax cuts for the rich, yet they elect a bunch of Republicans... WTF!!??), I'm starting to be concerned.

It makes no sense to take Sarahcuda seriously. Does it? I understand why Grumpy Grandpa picked her to be the VEEP. He's an egocentric fool who thought he'd live forever and needed a good looking gimmick to juice up his stale image/campaign/self.

I don't approve mind you. I don't seen how anyone can have ANY respect for McCain. But at least his Hail Mary was just that, and we all probably throw one sooner or later.

But she won't go away.

The talking head convention wisdom has been, she could be nominated, but she'd NEVER win. But now there's a new conventional wisdom developing. It may be bullshit and self serving because Mama Grizzly is good copy/chat fodder. But the developing "wisdom" is that she could get nominated AND, if the economy sucks, WIN.

Remember when Alec Baldwin said he'd move to another country if Bush won? (He didn't). For the first time in my adult life (if you wanna call it that) I'm actually considering moving. Where? Dunno. Down Under. Over There. Somewheres. (Hate when people add "s" to a word for no reason).

Because, seriously, we'd simply have to resign as the "leader of the free world" if we elected an idiotic nincompoop. I know, we already did. But at least that idiotic nincompoop had grownups (evil though they were) to tell him what to do. At least he was an ivy leaguer.

This would be our first, true, genuine, nitwit President. Instead of dumbing down we'd be dumbing up.

How dumb are we? We're so dumb that at LEAST 30% of the people in this country may ALREADY think the constantly tweeting Twit is qualified. (Yes, I follow her).
That, in an of itself, is more shocking than ol' Sparky, the infamous Florida electric chair which killed more humans than Ted Bundy. Pretty sure it killed Ted Bundy too. Or was it Al?

The latest string of op-ed pieces I've seen praises Madame Dumbshit for being politically savvy to do ZERO politics (other than sly jabs here and there) on her "reality" show. This way, she can titillate lovers of the great outdoors and fans of beating up defenseless animals (or shooting the ones who could defend) and alienate practically no one. Well, no one new.

NYTIMES.COM - DAVID FIRESTONE:
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/09/opinion/09thu4.html?_r=1&scp=2&sq=DAVID%20FIRESTONE&st=cse
In the two years since her rocky vice presidential candidacy, Ms. Palin has become famously contemptuous of the “lamestream media,” which she has often described as elite and conspiratorial (against her and America’s exceptionalism). She would not be the first politician who has stumbled and then lashed at the press for its lack of balance. But the parallel structure Ms. Palin has created as an alternative to conventional scrutiny and campaigning has been remarkably effective.

She is a regular on Fox News and its affiliated radio shows, and her book tour (no questions from reporters, please) has taken her largely to Republican-leaning primary states. As a recent article in The New York Times Magazine documented, she has no need for an actual press staff and believes it is sufficient to communicate largely through Twitter and Facebook. And as long as she remains more provocative than substantive, her strategy works.

Provocative. Running around in short shorts, shooing away little horntoads from her not-yet-knocked-up-other-daughter. Twig or Branch or whatever the fuck.

I've long her perception is reality. What punches me in the head harder than NFL dudes like to punch Big Benny the Buffoon Rapistberger, is the perception.

I was sure the perception among most Americans is what I see as the truth. We may not agree on tax cuts. We may not agree on war. We may not agree on Jersey Shore.

But surely we can find bi-partisan consensus on the plain, simple, and utterly true notion that Sarah Palin is an imbecile.

OK, that's too harsh. After all, she's making millions. I'm not. Who's the imbecile now? (Wonder if the T-shirt vendor is making any dough?)

She has better legs and a better ass than I do. She may even have a bigger penis. She CERTAINLY has bigger balls.

But grant me this, won't you? NOT QUALIFIED. DISQUALIFIED. NOT SHARP ENOUGH TO PROPERLY EXECUTE THE GIG.

What is scaring me is the lack of near unanimity on this one obvious point.

When did people become so dumb that they want their leader to be as dumb or dumber than they are?

The stolen election of 2000 has repercussions far beyond the disgraceful Bush legacy of the Iraq war, not to mention that whole turning the Constitution on it's head with a blatantly bullshit Supreme Court opinion installing the Idjit in the first place.

My point is it made people think, if this simpleton can fake this gig (and I grant you compared to Wasilla Gorilla he's a scientist of the rocket variety), so can another plain spoken, inarticulate boob. And this boob's got boobs!

If here in the REAL world, the dunderhead (running out of nitwit synonyms) could actually become the Prez-ee-dent of the YOO-NITED STATES OF AMURICA... then reality has failed me.

Because here on the planet EARTH, we know, while she may be too cool for school (in that classic trailer park kinda way), she's too Bogus for POTUS. (Best I could come up with on short notice).

I fear however, that while I still reside on the planet EARTH (as much as your average human is able to determine such things with certainty), many of my fellow citizens (along with the vaginal variety) live in an ALTERNATE universe. One in which... well, you know the rest.

If perception is reality but reality is false... or no longer exists... and a train leaving Anchorage for Wasilla traveling 60 M.P.H... if Sarah Palin shoots a bear shitting in the woods but TLC cameras aren't there to record it and Helen Keller is of no use whatsoever... THEN HOW THE FUCK CAN ANY RATIONAL SANE HUMAN BEING THINK THIS FOOL IS QUALIFIED TO RUN THE GODDAMN FREE WORLD???

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO??????????????????????????????????????

That is all at this time.

INTERVIEW WITH GAB BONESSO

Here's somebody I do know something about. Doesn't have a sex tape. Or a reality show. But is thinking of combining the two.
