Hi ho FanAp’ers it’s Adam’s little sister Susie again.
You might remember me from one of my quarterly posts. Who could forget the lyrical, “Hey I’m on TV,” the eye-opening “Hey I’ve got a new blog to hawk,” or the riveting “Hey I have the hots for Nicholas Sarkozy.”
No one, that’s who. But I’m not all about shameless self-promotion and lusting after world leaders. Oh wait. Yes I am. Hoo ha! Here goes!
The subtle ad above is because this Thursday, 10/30 will be my premiere on the hit show “The Smoking Gun Present’s: World’s Dumbest” at 9PM e/p on truTV! For all the people who enjoy telling me they don’t have TV: I’m a big dumb expert who contributes stupid stuff here: dumbasablog.com.
Also, on election night I’ll be doing a set in NYC with The Obama Girls of Comedy Tour. It’s free, and either way we’re all going to need a stiff drink that night, so come on by and say howdy whydoncha?
Finally, Rep. John Sarbanes of Maryland is kinda cute, especially when wearing a civet.
UPDATE: A cut of the show just came in. I’m not on it. I’ll be on one of these Thursdays, maybe even many, but not tonight. I broke my own “never tell people you are going to be on TV” rule and got burnt — Yow!

Yes, it’s good to still be walking around a free man, unencumbered by concrete walls or iron prison doors and still in demand as a talking head. My lawyers are bleeding me dry, but I’ve not yet been proven guilty!!!!

2Hi ho, Susie. I’ll see if Uverse carries Tru. If not, maybe I can watch while ellipticaling at the gym. I love dumb.
Another note–Not to get soggy-eyed over political propaganda, but I found BHO’s 30:00 spot quite moving. I thought I’d just peek, and ended up watching the whole thing. If nothing else, maybe it will heal the scars left in my brain by Reagan’s spot so many years ago.

3Chris, are you talking about the “It’s Morning in America” ad? When Reagan put that ad up on the tube, my reflexive response was “Yeah godammit, time to wake the f*ck up!!!!” He won the election anyway. Maybe I didn’t scream it loud enough.

5“The Smoking Gun Present’s: World’s Dumbest”. . .
Is this another one of those shows where people hurt themselves for our entertainment?
If I want to watch senseless brutality, I’ll watch the news, thank you very much.

6By the way, if any of you asswipes happen to run into Lemuel, I still want to nail his ass to the wall. The $50,000 reward still stands. And I will sign the check personally. I’d have my teeming school of barracudas take care of that, but they charge me $150.00 to write a check. Jesus Christ on a crutch!

But thank you for the reminder. The temperatures have finally cooled to the point that it’s time to get out the winter clothes and I must get my civet cleaned.

13It’s the casual Friday before the election, so you can spend a few minutes at work watching this shocking video, just as long as your boss isn’t voting for McCain, that is.

17Amen and amen, Sister Sally. And while we’re off topic, let me take this opportunity, as I know Deacon Terkel would not mind, to point out the soul cleansing redemptive power of the words I leave you with…..”Stop Shopping, dammit.” That’s right my friends, give the planet a break, will ya? Amen and amen!
Peace be upon you, Brother Studs.

18My son (19 - long time listener, first time voter) and I went to cast our ballots this morning and the line was at least 3 times longer than I’ve seen it up to now. My son said “No way!” He has an absentee ballot (he’s in college and didn’t think he would be in town this weekend) and, seeing the mass of humanity, he decided to vote that way. I said a silent “thank you, Jesus” and we drove home. That was easily a five hour wait. I’ll just vote on election day, with all the other old schoolers.

21I sure hope so, Tom. I’m sure “there” word is their bond. The way things are going, though, I guessing we can expect Palin promising us Communism in 2012.

25As best I can tell, the NSA rolled up Gidget and no doubt has her under the lights right now trying to sweat out a confession. I have to hand it to Gidget, over the six months I used her, she found three out of four video cameras I installed around her house. I figure you can’t be too careful.The fourth one “Felicity” whipped up and disguised as a mum in the next door neighbor’s perennial garden. That’s the camera that recorded the raid on Gidget’s house - middle of the night, ninja black outfits, and gum shoes. Six men disarmed the alarm system, took off the back door, went inside and came back out carrying a rather lumpy, squiggly carpet. Cheney’s fingerprints are all over this caper; I supposed he never actually gave up on the mole in the McCain campaign pursuit. That man just doesn’t quit.
As for Felicity and me, we cleaned out all the electronics from the house, emptied the safes, the gun racks, left the Yukon in the garage, set the house on fire, and left town in a 1991 Dodge Caravan that we kept parked in an acquaintance’s back yard under a tarp. Don’t worry, the house was rented and the Yukon was leased, both in the name of Mr. and Mrs. G. Walker Bush.
And now we’re kicked back in a ratty looking 60 foot sail boat, heading south, with a following breeze. It’s been remarkably warm weather for November. I certainly hope it holds up.
As for Gidget, she’ll be okay. She has no criminal record and she’s a minor living with a loving, very clueless evangelical family. If the Feds don’t waterboard her or do the whole - stand on the wooden box for 24 hours, electrical wires connected to the wrists, blindfolded interrogation in a dripping shower stall routine, she probably won’t crack. She’s a tough kid and should get out of prison in only 3 to 5 years, with good behavior. Felicity made me promise to send Gidget greeting cards for her birthday and all the major holidays. I take care of my loyal employees - yup, only the best for Gidget.
We may be scarce for a while, but not to worry - we’ll be drinking Maitai’s and following the sun. Mr. McCain will have to lose this election without us. Oh, and we got most of the money we were going after. I left about twenty grand in each account, so the Republicans won’t begin bouncing checks until sometime next week.

30Naw. At the risk of biting the hand that feeds Adam, I find BM regularly crass, condescending, and absurdly self-centered. His jokes generally make me wince. The Selma Hayec joke, for instance, is weirdly lewd and all about what Bill wants, without even considering the reason she has boobs in the first place. When he jokes about preferably getting rid of the kid (the latter), it just sounds ugly and sad, even though it is calculated as funny. About half way through that routine I’d winced about 7 times and laughed twice before turning it off.
The Daily Show does political satire so much better. Their humor generally arises from exposing hypocrisy and hubris as opposed to indulging in it.

I am torn between quoting from The Book Of Common Prayer or Michael Moore. That doesn’t happen often. So glad he went to visit her last month.
