What kind of action-hero costumes should super delegates wear?
That Wonder Woman outfit, with the rope, the lasso of truth. Get some honesty in our politics.

Who would win in a bar fight: the Bush twins, the Olsen twins, or the Minnesota Twins?
With all the steroids in baseball, I’m gonna have to give it to the Minnesota Twins. With the Olsens, it’s more Botox than steroids.

What do you think about clowns?
I think we need them to run for president. Make a balloon animal out of the United States.

What about the clown who lives under my bed and tries to kill me when the lights are off and everyone else in the apartment is asleep?
He just needs a friend to talk to. He has issues. Let him crawl into bed with you. But make him take those big shoes off first.

    While New York is grittier, Los Angeles juicier, and Boston is wicked smahter, for some odd reason it is Montreal that, for two weeks every summer, becomes the epicenter of the comedy universe.
  •   JUST FOR LAUGHS  |  July 27, 2009
    Blogs, Tweets, and comedy video direct from moose country
  •   BEAT THE TWEET  |  July 22, 2009
    Warm weather is supposed to be accessorized by lackaday, by a breezy sensibility best enjoyed with a frosty tall boy in one hand, the sloppy product of a back-yard barbecue in the other. Instead, I find myself struggling to balance my beer between my knees and my overstocked paper plate on my thigh as I furiously poke at my BlackBerry.
