Fresh Leibowitz up: Samantha Bee helps us understand necrophilia

[hsher]

The news item in this one's 100% sick but 100% true. A Wisconsin guy accused of having intercourse with a deer carcass will stand trial, despite a cunning and frivolous motion from his attorney. Stories like this make Jon Stewart's job just a little too easy, in my opinion... and my apologies to any Wisconsin DUers on this board tonight. I am REALLY sorry for you this guy lives there.

Your Morning Leibowitz presents the debut of Cartoon Samantha Bee:

1. I've been following that story.

Weirdly enough.
How you doing, friend?

3. Dyn-O-mite!

Things are good. A little tired. I went down to a public access TV studio tonight and reserved my time there for January, attended the obligatory orientation. They have everything I need to do a little comedy half-hour there. Very helpful team of people. Looking fwd to it, happy, but tired... this was a somewhat sad, lonely day. I had to say goodbye to my roommate, who parties too much and always has people staying over at the house, eating my stuff, using my computer while I'm not there (a definitely no-no for me), etc., and he was kind of upset. So that taxed me a bit. Also, walking around I saw couples in love everywhere. Yours truly is happily single, but at times I feel like I'm missing out on something. When I get hit on, though, it's never by anyone I'd be interested in. I seem to be a magnet for very forward, aggressive, large-sized, bullylike guys who would never stick their noses in a book, talk about the news, or want to find out the population of Bangladesh JUST TO KNOW IT. Ah well.

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are taken, so that leaves me with dreams and plenty of time on my own :D

How are you?

5. Glad for the long weekend.

My roomies are all related and very well acquainted with The Rules, so slightly less drama there. But, I still have to cook tomorrow. Wish you could come for dinner.
I so want to come and play in the teevee studio!

6. Come play!

Or, you can check out the public access channel near your town. The Feds are sizing up public access for the chop (now that it's becoming a rather well-produced phenomenon and clips are being sent up to YouTube, something we're going to do at ours), so this might be the time to strike. So few people know public access TV stations exist in their towns, and that the facilities are top-notch, professional broadcast level, and can be used for next to nothing. Here where I live, the one-year-usage fee is ***$45.00***. The cameras are NBC prime time broadcast quality, and the main studio has three cameras available. That's a standard TV sitcom setup. The possibilities are endless. Remember that your public access channel depends on you for its survival, so go check them out. It's not just donations they rely on. They are audited for how many people in their census area actually use their facilities! So if you've got the producing bug, you ought to step out there and give it a try.

I've produced TV before, so this is nothing new for me, but the effort involved is always daunting at first look. I'll get into the swing of it soon enough and start enjoying it again. My question is, who will do the Leibowitzes while I'm busy doing a TV show?

2. I live in that town

Before you go after the lawyer too much, come on he is a public defender, and what the hell else are you going to do with a case like that?

4. Everyone is allotted a defense, even a...

... guy who thinks a rotted deer butt is attractive. Makes me wonder if Anderson had any idea he'd have to take on a case like this, when he was back in law school. All I can say is wow.

I feel for him big time. But I had to go after him the way The Daily Show would have! (They would have been even more vicious!)

7. Fucking a carcass isn't the same as

fucking a live animal that can feel pain. Would someone have to go to court if they got caught fondling or fornicating with a Thanksgiving turkey? I think this case is a waste of the court's time.

[hsher]

8. It is. But...

You have to admit, they just HANDED this story to The Daily Show, didn't they?

[Devlzown]

9. That's for sure.

Maybe the show could organize people to send their ugly deer heads from the mantlepiece to this guy. But I guess the head isn't exactly the end he's most fond of.

10. Damn, I envy that punchline

I wish *I'd* freakin' thought of it!
