Oh Yeah...the "C" in CNBC Stands for COMEDY

Dontcha' just love listening to all those experts who have all the answers? ....some of the answers? .....a few of the answers?.... none of the answers?..... pull
stuff outta their butts and wing it.....? Yup, that later category seems to cover most of the experts.

If you had been getting your financial advice from CNBC...well, let's face it... if you got your financial advice from CNBC odds are that you are not reading this anyway unless the local homeless shelter has some community computer access.

Leave it to Jon Stewart to point out the unintentional Comedy in CNBC:

Anytime you need a token liberal
Nothin' but a body to fill a chair
The barest shadow of a person
Alan Colmes is always there.

But all those years of non-existence
Can really run a person down.
Now he's leaving Hannity forever
Alan, please don't go!
You're the only non-douchebag on that show
He's gone. Bye bye,
Oh why
He was the Tango to his cash
And he's gone.
Oh why
To the extent
That I hadn't noticed he was there
But he's gone.
Oh why
What went wrong?
He's gone. Bye bye
Oh why?
He was the Laurel to his Hardy
He's gone
To spend
More time
Not being seen with his family
He's gone
What went wrong?

The Diva just hopes that Mr. Colmes will now be able to retrieve what he had to place in a blind trust when he started on Hannity & Colmes: his manhood.

A tiny speck of blue in a sea of red

The Aging Disco Diva lives in the reddest of the red states but there is one tiny oasis of blue out in the eastern part of the state. Strangely enough it happens to be the home of my much hated college rivals. I was there on business last Friday and was pleasantly shocked to see all the lawn signs and bumper stickers that were in support of my candidate.  I will, in any case, be so glad when this whole election cycle is over. It seems that just when I think it could not get any politically dirtier (or dumber) some political talking head (or intellectually constipated reporter/radio talk show host/TV arss-hat) proves that there is no limit to the slime and stupidity we Americans can come up with when we put our minds to it. 

The country will need to take a long hot shower and scrub the political sheyat off on November 5th and until then I am nervous about what else is going to be excreted in to the airways.

So while I am holding my breath and keeping my fingers crossed until November 4th let's have some chuckles:

Who is that guy????



The original Thriller jacket on eBay...

November 4th cannot come quick enough.....

Clusterfork to the Poorhouse....

And you'all thought the late 60s and early 70s was one big acid trip....





Bizarre just does not seem to begin to cover what transpired this week.

McMurphy: [When The Chief slowly raises his hand] The Chief voted. Now, will you please turn on the television set?

Nurse Ratched: [she opens the glass panel] Mr. McMurphy, the meeting was adjourned and the vote was closed.

McMurphy: But the vote was 10 to 8. The Chief, he's got his hand up! Look!

Nurse Ratched: No, Mr. McMurphy. When the meeting was adjourned, the vote was 9 to 9.

McMurphy: Aw come on, you're not gonna say that now. You're
not gonna say that now. You're gonna pull that hen-house shit now when
the vote...the Chief just voted - it was 10 to 8. Now I want that
television set turned on, right now!

[Nurse Ratched slides the glass panel across the front of the Nurse's Station, shutting out his protest.]

Medication time. Medication time.

New Like....8 Tracks?

Every comic in America must be bowing down every night and giving copious prayers of gratitude. They don't even have to break a sweat coming up with anything...it is being hand delivered in a big shiny box with a sparkle bow by the candidates.

Jon Stewart:

Verbage? The Aging Disco Diva can't seem to find verbage in her dictionary....hmmmmm...must be a new contraction of the words "verbal" and "garbage"

Big Man in A Little Box....

Jon Stewart was on a roll this week:





A bit of Déjà vu' all over again.

NCLB: No Conventioneer Left Behind

A few chocolate covered champagne bonbons to munch on this evening:


The Diva was so pleased to see that all those "Hooked on Phonics" lessons did not go for naught last night:

And of course, I just had to post Jon Stewart's take on this week's festivus... No matter what your politics, you can't help but laugh out loud at his great clips





The National Inquirer....doing some vetting? An interesting spin on what's good for the gander (John Edwards) is good for the goose (A little bit of Northern Exposure Miss Sarah?)

Yes, even the Aging Disco Diva had to battle the big, bad fourth estate meanies when I was running for Diva Queen of the Whole Friggin' Universe. But I didn't scream sexism or sic some wrinkly white haired old dude and his money bag (no, not Cindy--I mean literally a bag of money) after the press .... I just sent the flying monkeys to toss pooh...come to think of it I think I did see Karl Rove flinging the feces this week.

This is more fun than a barrel of flying monkeys.

Oh, What a Web We Weave.....

Yessireee bob, the Diva could not make this sheeyat up. Don't these geniuses realize that their previous, PERMANENTLY RECORDED, FOREVER AVAILABLE, ON TAPE, WRITTEN DOWN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE, ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS GOOGLE, words of wisdom will be used to make them look like id-jiots while biting them on the arse? Oh, what a web we weave when first we practice to deceive...

Hot deeham, what will we all do for entertainment after November 4th? Celebrity Has-Been Detox on Ice will pale in comparison.....

It Could Become a Category 5 Sheeyat Storm!

What can the Diva say that could possibly top what is actually going in the political arena? Nada. Absolutely too twisted for TV, Ouiser

Does Anyone Smell A**......?

The Aging Disco Diva has the greatest job in the world, but even great jobs sometimes require travel or...actual (gasp) work.... so you might have noticed the brevity of this week's blog entries. Today was the last day of travel and I am back home in my castle, safe...sound...tending to my minions and definitely dragging my very tired polyester clad buttocks this evening. After an evening of taking energy pills (Godiva Chocolates and well aged Peeps) and drinking vitamin elixirs (Champagne followed with chocolate liqueur chasers) I should be good to go tomorrow and ready to supply you with my regular dose of snarkiness.

I did not want you to go away empty handed so here is a vintage Jon Stewart clip poking a bit of fun at that bastion of "fair and balanced reporting" Faux...I mean, Fox News:





And a clip of Jon and Larry agreeing to disagree:

Yeah, Karma CAN Be a Real Beyotch....

In 1989 Robin Williams married Marsha Garces... Marsha had been his kid's nanny...when Robin was still married...to Valerie Velardi...his first wife...

WILLIAMS WIFE, FORMER NANNY, FILES FOR DIVORCE

Comedian Robin Williams' second wife, whom he met when she was his family's nanny, has filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. Marsha Garces Williams filed her petition in a San Francisco court last last week. The couple has been married since 1989 and have two children.

A little background:

Robin Williams first marriage was to Valerie Velardi on June 4, 1978, with whom he has one child, Zachary Pym (Zak) (born April 11, 1983). The marriage ended in 1988.

During Williams' first marriage, he was involved in an extramarital relationship with Michelle Tish Carter, a cocktail waitress whom he met in 1984. She sued him in 1986, claiming he gave her herpes without notifying her. The case was settled out of court.

On April 30, 1989, he married Marsha Garces, his son's babysitter. They have two children, Zelda Rae (born July 31, 1989) and Cody Alan (born November 25, 1991). Williams currently resides in a large house in the upper-income Sea Cliff neighborhood of San Francisco.In March 2008, Garces filed for divorce from Williams, citing irreconcilable differences

Oh How Sweet It Is!!

It's good to be a Wildcat fan

I am sure there will be more videos up in the morning. I will include as many as I can find...and of course since it is Friday that means gratuitous Eva Mendes Day

I think Jon Stewart and Larry Wilmore are hysterical and I encourage everyone to watch The Daily Show show. Jon makes fun of everyone...much like the Aging Disco Diva!
