7. Barry Crimmins.

He's a stand-up political satirist. I've seen him perform live in my native Hartford, CT a couple of times over the years.

[htuttle]

8. I've heard the name before

Never associated it with any of his material though.

He's REALLY funny -- and QUICK!

I'll have to look up some of his prevous work.

10. He used to write for Dennis Miller

I believe he was fired right around the time Dennis became unfunny. Needless to say, Barry hates Dennis now.

17. Here's what I posted to the Lounge on February 1st.

Last evening, I went to an event sponsored by Speak Out Connecticut (www.speakoutct.org ). It was an evening of stand-up political satire featuring Citizen Reno, the Yesmen, and Barry Crimmins.

The many highlights included:

Barry Crimmins talking about his high school reunion in upstate New York, whose town name he said translates to "Beautiful Lake Surrounded by Fascists." Per Crimmins, a number of his former classmates demanded to know why he kept appearing at AIDS benefits. "You're not queer, are ya?" they asked him. To which Crimmins replied, "I'm whatever threatens you."

Reno's disgusted take on organized religion, in which she referred to John Ashcroft as a "sexually retarded neo-Nazi."

The Yesmen relating their experiences in impersonating WTO executives and actually being invited as keynote speakers to WTO-related conferences in countries like Austria, Finland, and Malaysia. (For the hilarious details, see their website, www.theyesmen.org ).

Thankfully, the event was well-attended, to a point at which some audience members couldn't find seats and ended up sitting and standing on the sidelines. So I think it's safe to assume to Speak Out Connecticut will be sponsoring more events like this in the weeks and months to come!

Poor Texas. We feel your pain....

[ronnykmarshall]

16. The Kansas delegation is pretty tame.

[ronnykmarshall]

18. I love that Randi's talking about "shove it" remark.

She's pointing out the bullshit from the networks and RW talk shows covering this "story".

[AspenRose]

20. OMG...Teresa Heinz-Kerry, potentially the first African American

First Lady! *snort*

No WONDER they won't let up on attacking her! }(

Gosh Randi! Behave! :P
