Validation (Sorry, Dad) and yet another Rant

I'm about three weeks behind everyone else in the world, but I'm finally reading and watching things talking about the State of the Union. I'm sorry, Dad, your comments were reaffirming but you're more optimistic than most.

To validate my post on the State of the Union, I offer you:

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/08/politics/08dems.html?ex=1140238800&en=89621d7ca81fa820&ei=5070&emc=eta1 (an article from the New York Times--you know, the really liberal media--on how Democrats need a platform on which to stand)

And This:

http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_daily_show/videos/most_recent/index.jhtml?start=17 (no, it's not just for stoners--The Daily Show--on the State of the Union. Most memorably, Jon Stewart edits the Democratic Response to show how many times Kaine said "There's a Better Way" and then said something to the effect of, "If you have this better way, please send it to Democratic Headquarters; PO Box 18; and remember, the elections are only 9 months away.")

So, I'm not completely off-base. I will say, though, that maybe like me the dems are just procrastinators and they'll pull it together in time. After all, they've got the right idea.

Anyway, enough politics, let's talk crudely.

Ever since Bob Saget said in Half Baked, "I used to suck dick for coke. Now that's an addiction. You ever suck some dick for marijuana?" I have loved the man. I'm not knocking the man that Bob Saget used to be. I love Danny Tanner. Though, I do have to say that America's Funniest Home Videos was pretty cheesy.

Anyway, some douchebag writes in to Rolling Stone, about how Bob Saget is falling for comedic peer pressure to be so crude. After all, it's not like the man could change his mind, or grow up. To whatever idiot wrote the article, I say, "Fuck You." Bob Saget can do what Bob Saget wants, and frankly, he's funnier now and he's even a little cooler. And what's more, heaven forbid one comedian should go from clean to dirty. How many comedians have we lost to the fact that they had kids and stopped being crude? So, you keep your Damon Wayans, Rosie O'Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg, and the like. We'll take Bob Saget and the two or three other comedians who swing the other way as they get older. You, sir or ma'am, can keep being an idiot.

That's all for this edition of rants about things that no one cares about, except me.
