TV Edition: Last Comic Standing

Posted on August 8, 2008

I plan on trying to document my TV viewing more.. mostly cause I’m starting to forget what the hell I’ve been watching.

I’m so happy that Iliza Shlesinger won last comic standing. Women comics have a bad rap and it goes to the core where a lot of comics don’t think women are funny either. Not only has she risen above the fray she won because she was picked on and got to preformed 2 amazing sets while every one else sat in the back room. Poor choice fellas.

also check Iliza out on The Weakly News

P.S. Get a new host LCS. Really.

draft of the 2008 Democratic National Committee platform

Posted on August 8, 2008

The draft of the 2008 Democratic National Committee platform is out and although it will be changed some here is my favorite part:

Governance

We will lift the veil of secret deals in Washington by publishing searchable, online information about federal grants, contracts, earmarks, loans, and lobbyist contacts with government officials. We will make government data available online and will have an online video archive of significant agency meetings. We will put all non-emergency bills that Congress has passed online for five days, to allow the American public to review and comment on them before they are signed into law. We will require Cabinet officials to have periodic national online town hall meetings to discuss issues before their agencies.
