Comedy and Politics: Health Care Doomsday Is Here!
http://comedyandpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/10/health-care-doomsday-is-here.html
Criticism without analysis. Judgement without information. Tuesday, October 13, 2009. Health Care Doomsday Is Here! Oh man, guys, at 2pm today. The horrible Senate goblins will vote on the goddamn Senate Finance Bill, which is exciting for Internet people but not so much for the other 98% of folks. The Democrats are convinced they have the votes to get it out of committee, but all eyes are on President Olympia Snowe. To see if she will in fact vote with the Democrats (who cares! There are still two very ...

Comedy and Politics: GOP Website As Successful As GOP
http://comedyandpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/10/gop-website-as-successful-as-gop.html
Criticism without analysis. Judgement without information. Tuesday, October 13, 2009. GOP Website As Successful As GOP. 8220;The RNC’s big relaunch of its website has not gone so well today. In the last hour or so, the site has been crashing periodically. The Obama campaign’s former online guru, Joe Rospars, tells TPMDC: ‘You know your web program is in trouble when your site can’t even handle the traffic bump from people making fun of your web program.’”. ThinkProgress has never made a joke in its life!

Comedy and Politics: What's In A Name?
http://comedyandpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/10/whats-in-name.html
Criticism without analysis. Judgement without information. Friday, October 2, 2009. What's In A Name? Is an indispensable resource for anyone looking to stay informed about the health care debate, specifically the life and (sadly) likely death of a robust public option. FDL has remained resolutely optimistic throughout this whole process- a Herculean feat, if ever there was one. That petition, which I signed and encourage anyone who enjoys this blog to sign, can be found here. This is closer to a Dutch-,...

Comedy and Politics: Nobel Prize Committee Back From Future, Maybe?
http://comedyandpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/10/nobel-prize-committee-back-from-future.html
Criticism without analysis. Judgement without information. Friday, October 9, 2009. Nobel Prize Committee Back From Future, Maybe? I don't want to spend too much time on this Nobel Prize nonsense, but there are a few points worth mentioning. First of all, the correct response to Obama's winning of the Nobel Peace Prize seems pretty obvious to me. Say, "Congratulations, but this seems kind of premature, doesn't it? Then, on what is aggravatingly called "the other side"- which is to say the Democrats, even...

Comedy and Politics: Hiking the Appalachian Trail
http://comedyandpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/10/hiking-appalachian-trail.html
Criticism without analysis. Judgement without information. Thursday, October 15, 2009. Hiking the Appalachian Trail. Like many a great man. Before me, I'll be spending the next week and a half hiking the Appalachian Trail. By which I of course mean I'm going to Buenos Aires, Argentina to visit a lady-friend. I have asked my staff. To keep those vultures in the press. At bay in my absence. That can be found here. And another great blog about workers' struggles in Argentina can be found here. 145 W 122nd St.

Criticism without analysis. Judgement without information. Tuesday, November 3, 2009. I have a new blog up at True/Slant. Today, but that's not what the title of this post refers to.

Posted by John Knefel. Tuesday, November 03, 2009. Thanks for the heads up, Jason. I think I may have to get that. Follow me on Twitter.

Comedy and Politics: WeatherPocalypse 2009
http://comedyandpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/10/weatherpocalypse-2009.html
Criticism without analysis. Judgement without information. Tuesday, October 27, 2009. I've returned from my Appalachian vacation, folks, and it's good to see that very little has changed. I'm of course referring to the fact that most Americans don't really think that the now-certain WeatherPocalypse. Is that big a deal. And, unsurprisingly and depressingly, as the US-sponsored War on Earth spirals us ever closer to the End of Days, Americans are growing less and less concerned about the issue. This downt...
