I absolutely love Che…

…the dog.

The Goode family is absolutely hilarious, much better than An American Carol. Even funnier has been some of the reviews particularly since places like NPR don’t get the joke. Rusty Shackelford elaborates in comments at NPR:

After watching the first episode – at least when I wasn’t too busy laughing out loud – I now find out I was wrong. It wasn’t funny after all. Who knew? I sure am glad there’s someone out there who cares enough to help me get my mind right, or perhaps more appropriately, left.

At least the review is unintentionally amusing in that its tone serves to reinforce the “greenie” stereotype as simultaneously self-deprecating and unable to embrace the humor inherent to their follies. What delicious irony! But I guess I should expect nothing less from one who can’t see the rainforest through the trees. Keep up the Goode work!

My favorite is Che, mainly because he is a (mostly) normal dog, or as you would put it in psychological terms; a repressed carnivore.

This one is going to be family viewing every Wednesday night.

…on the other hand Python is different

You know it hits me that the Monty Python crowd have similar or even more radical views than Whoppi but when i still see I still think silly walks:

Or Biggus Dickus:

Or Nudges:

and of course splunge:

I guess that’s the difference between good humor that fades in the memory and timeless humor that makes you smile for the rest of your life.

I don’t know why Whoppi Goldberg suddenly popped into my mind…

…but you know the View has done her a disservice in one way. It’s made us forget.

It hit me today for no particular reason that she is a good actress, Sister Act and the Associate were both very funny. She was first rate in Ghost. That silly basketball movie Eddie was pretty good too.

On Star Trek TNG she was first rate. She was an excellent addition to the cast and made the show better.

Her work with Comic Relief was commendable.

All of that seems to be forgotten because all we see now is the political/gossip side. It’s true a lot of what I cited was from her earlier work but that doesn’t change that it was worthwhile.

One of the problems with political discourse is that it can provoke a reaction. Goldberg used to produce a smile when I saw her, now when I see her I think: “Bush Hater”, “Palin Hater”.

It’s a bit of a shame but that’s the price of being out there like that.

You know the Pelosi stuff really helps comics…

…it allows comics to hit democrats without touching the sacred one.
