stimulus I was gonna bail out Bear Stearns but Chase beat me to the punch goddammit! So I guess I'll have to buy a Hummer stretch limo and figure out what to do with the rest.

Stimulus Pckg How much stock are you going to buy, or how many businesses are you going to start, with the stimulus package money?

PopeWatch The unending coverage of the Pope's every movement from getting on an elevator to getting off the elevator to walking towards the car to getting into the car to driving to the destination. The button on the Pope's visit was when Bush said after he spoke in Washington; "Your Holyness, awesome speech!" The only other thing he could have said to make it more embarassing was "Holy Dude! Awesome speech!"

we've got plenty of inspiration here Douglas Bruce and his most recent "illiterate peasants" remark is just scratching the surface on that lunacy.

Any chance "Wake Up World" could go on a nationwide tour? It'd be like Capitol Steps, only not lame.

I'm bitter Obama, aren't the other two eventually going to be on one ticket?

Most recently... ...what's the actual network "news" story that you've seen that ranked highest on the unintentional comedy scale?

Bush I'm not so worried about where the inspiration will come from as if you've decided to be a professional politician you're always going to provide me with new material. We have a congress, we have the media, we have corporate malfeasance all which I do not see going when Bush goes. I feel pretty good that the pool of material will constantly be filling up.

Here's the biggie... __ Obama

__ Clinton

__ McCain

__ Or are you going third party on us?

I hear Alan Keyes just joined the Constitution Party.

Where do you anticipate most of your satirical inspiration will come from when the House of Bush is gone?

Amy Anybody who heard when mainstream democrats were celebrating the Clintons if they had listened to her interview with Bill a few years back they would have gotten a very good insight as to how him and Hilary conduct themselves in a campaign. Try to find it and listen to it.

gagged Bill O Reily I would say just lay back while I pour this water onto your face. Really, it's not torture! You said so yourself.

Democracy Now What are your thoughts on Amy Goodman's Democracy Now! TV / Radio show? I just started downloading her podcasts and really like them so far.

3 minutes in the closet What would you say to a gagged Bill O'Reilly if given the chance?

Wake Up World! Keeping with satirizing the information outlets it was shocking that no one had taken on the morning shows. There are 23 hours of morning blabathons on everyday each stretching to find anything interesting to say more than the next placing relevance on the trivial and seriousness on the mundane. It's a place where a great number of Americans get information to start their day so it seemed like a perfect thing to satirize.

*That is a very interesting question. I guess after speech writing for Nixon and sitting next to Sam Donaldson maybe the only energy you have left is to throw a softball.

Hi Ryan Really, none. They gave us a lot of freedom which is why it's grown to be such a great success. We were really lucky that's not always the case.
