A random rant inspired by the Proopster.

Last night Greg Proops did a couple bits in his act that really stuck with me, but didn't really inspire me until just now.

I was thinking about The Redhead's post this morning about gay marriage. She said in her blog that politicians should be more worried about her dating a Canadian than whether or not two men or two women want to marry one another. I made a rather silly comment about it, and then recalled how the woman on Average Joe II revealed her big secret: She dated Fabio, and was subsequently dumped by the beau of her choice. Hilarious, no? He made a very valid point that hetero marriages are just so perfect: men who beat women, infidelity, all that jazz.

Our government is run by idiots- they're spending time concerned with steriods in baseball and limiting people's ability to express their love for one another than finding Osama or maybe justifying their own idiotic actions in Iraq. What's next: the House's official Oscar picks? The Congress argues over who gets to run their fantasy NASCAR league?

Here's the part that he ranted that I really liked:
It's about California, where a familiar story of an Austrian came to power in a politically apathetic state and then molded it to his ideaology. He was, of course, referring to Hitler and, subsequently, the Governator.

Another bit about that bit: he kept saying that in California, they've managed to elect a fictional character into office. Half my table said simultaneously: "again!"

Comedy is good, even if it is painful truths.
