I love Stephen Colbert's Word from Monday night.
Tomorrow I'll vote for Alan Grayson for the Democratic nominee agaisnt Ric Keller. I think he's the best candidate out there. He's definitely better than Charlie Stuart.
When I was a kid I babysat his kids from time to time. He and his family lived two streets away from us. I know him. I know his family. For Charlie Stuart, that should be enough of a reason to vote for him. Literally.
The only mailing I've seen from him says "Those of us who have helped grow the Central Florida community have always chosen our elected officials because we knew them." In other words, I have more name recognition so you should vote for me.
Stuart also claims that he's the only one who can beat Keller. Why? Because he lost to Keller.
Personally, I think that Stuart's narrow defeat to Keller doesn't prove only he can win this race. It proves that any Democrat can win against Keller. If they mount a campaign against the man. Stuart had no money to run a campaign against Keller during the 2006 elections. The fact that he came so close proves that people are tired of Keller and will vote for a Democratic candidate.
If any Democrat can win against Keller, why not vote for the best candidate to run against Keller?
Grayson is the best qualified candidate. He worked his way through Harvard, cleaning toilets and working as a night watchman. He started a Fortune 1000 company, on the second floor of a funeral home. He founded one of the nation's largest law firms prosecuting war profiteers. He was Taxpayers Against Fraud's Lawyer of the Year, and the Florida Civil Rights Association's Humanitarian of the Year. After eight years of incompetent leadership in Washington, we need someone who knows how to get things done.
Grayson has been fighting to protect the taxpayers and the troops for years. He's testified before Congress four times regarding war profiteering. He's also won the only case against Iraq war profiteers. . . so far. With Grayson in Congress, you can bet he'll do more about war profiteering.
Here's Grayson's latest ad:
If you are a registered Democrat and you live in Florida's 8th Congressional district I urge you to vote for Grayson tomorrow.
I just wanted to share some more of my favorite Carlin pieces

Sadly, Harvey Korman passed away yesterday.
I loved to watch The Carol Burnett Show when I was a kid. I particularly loved to watch Harvey Korman and Tim Conway perform together. Korman may have been playing the straight man to Conway's antics but it was Korman that I would watch during these bits. Just how long would it take him to crack up? I typically didn't start laughing till Harvey Korman laughed.
One of my favorite bits was "The Dentist" sketch. Once again, I had more fun watching Korman try to hold it together than watching Conway goof.
Harvey Korman was also in many a Mel Brooks film. One of my favorite performances was as Hedley Lamarr.
One performance that I loved but didn't know was Korman's was The Great Gazoo on The Flintstones.
I'm not a big fan of Chris Matthews. Since I rarely watch him I didn't see this segment when it first aired. Thankfully a friend told me about this smack down.
Matthews slams right wing talk show host Kevin James for not know what appeasement means and for not knowing his history.
It's well worth a watch:
This video is too, too funny.
Thanks, Mom, for showing me this video.
15 questions and 63 minutes into the last Democratic debate and finally the moderators decide to ask real questions.
Jon Stewart slams Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos for their insipid questions during Wednesday's Democratic debate.
The first hour of last night’s debate was a 60 minute master class in questions that elevate out-of-context remarks and trivial, insipid miscues into subjects of natural discourse…which is my job! Stop doing my job! That’s what I’m here for! I’m the silly man!
