 Two perspectives on death in America: the funny side, and the not-at-all-funny side. My friend Neal sent the above video to me today. It’s one of those things that is so hilarious, it’s hard to believe that no one’s thought up this exact scene for a movie or a series. A case of life being more [...]  Sometimes comedy is the most sublime way to say “fuck you” to those who’ve done you wrong. A nice kick in the cojones to the bad guys, without one drop of blood spilled. The Jewish people are masters of spinning their suffering into comedy gold, with a tradition predating the Marx Brothers by centuries. (For [...]  Poor Bam Margera is distraut, but he’s definitely lucid, and he’s not stupid or crazy either. So what do we make of his claim that at the same time his friend Ryan Dunn was dying in a horrible car crash, Margera, thousands of miles away in another part of the country, began smashing out the [...] I wrote about a character-forming experience as a child; you can check it out here.  Que cualquier persona pueda culpar a un seguramente mentalmente defectuoso redneck en Florida y sus ovejas por los asesinatos horrorosos de los tres empleados de las Naciones Unidas y sus guardias en Afghanistan es algo que no llego a entender. Los responsables de esos asesinatos son los locos que los mataron, no el barato busca-publicidad que quemó un Corán. El presidente [...] How anyone can blame the horrific murders of the seven UN workers and their guards in Afghanistan on a most certainly mentally defective redneck douchebag in Florida and his sheep is beyond me. Those responsible for their deaths are the crazed people who killed them, not the cheap asshole publicity-hound who burned a Koran. Afghan President Hamid [...]  I love this video of Patton Oswalt summarizing (and destroying) religion, but there are many, many more bits of brilliance if you just surf You Tube. Patton has been one of my top 5 favorite comedians ever since I first saw him perform at Los Angeles’s Luna Park club in 1994. It’s great to see how [...]  Religion + Insane People + New Year’s Day = Vlogging Gold. Happy New Year, everybody!  Me encanta la Navidad. Aunque mi familia no la celebrara como los cristianos, la verdad es que los judíos suelen adorar la Navidad. ¿Qué tiene la Navidad que no puedas apreciar? Las luces y decoraciones de las casas, el espíritu de celebración, las fiestas, las cartas de tus amigos, todo ese cerdo prohibido… Yummmmmmm! Pues eso; [...] I love Christmas. Always have. Sure, my family didn’t celebrate it like Christians do, but the truth is that most Jews adore Christmas. What’s not to love? The decorations on houses, the spirit of goodwill and celebration, the parties, the cards from friends and family, all that forbidden honey-baked ham… mmmmmm! That’s all; I want to [...] |
