So I'm in Chicago this weekend and among other things,

[PCIntern]

We went to Second City comedy, and saw a rather funny medley of skits starting their six latest members. Pretty good and topical.

Of COURSE, mrs. intern was seated next to the only vocal RW asshole in the entire place and every time President Obama was mentioned, he would shout out, "Where's the birth certificate?". Problem was, he was a young tough guy and rightfully so, everybody was keeping their mouths shut, because he was definitely looking for a fist fight. No doubt. The joke was on him as he quieted down when he realized that the audience was obviously quite smitten with the portrayals and that his protest meant nothing to anybody.

One aspect of one skit was to ask people for increasing amounts of money so that the troupe would improvise a skit based upon the wishes of the highest bidder. The idjit next to us helped donate with his friends so that they came up with $42.00, it was a birthday party,and at the end they said that they wouldn't return anyone's money but would donate it to Planned Parenthood. He was PISSED. Too bad.

1. There's no comedy in right wing beliefs...

It's a law of the universe.

6. There is right wing comedy

if you find laughing at homeless "bums" funny.

2. Could just as easily have been a left wing Larouchie asshole

We have a pretty sizable group of them here too.

3. Is Larouche really considered Left?

Just asking...

[NNN0LHI]

4. They call themselves FDR Democrats

Look it up if you don't believe me.

5. I wasn't questioning your expertise...

It's just that what they call themselves versus what they really are may be two entirely different things. I was just curious since the only thing I really know about the Larouche crowd is to avoid them.

7. You can't avoid the Larouche crowd here at DU

This place is infested with them.

8. Larouche started out as a communist and eventually

wound up the leader of a cult.
