my Alito jokes went over just fine, actually

Could Ann Coulter really possibly mean this? It's like she's writing the Onion article about herself:

"The ethic of conservation is the explicit abnegation of man's dominion over the Earth. The lower species are here for our use. God said so: Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and rape the planet -- it's yours. That's our job: drilling, mining and stripping. Sweaters are the anti-Biblical view. Big gas-guzzling cars with phones and CD players and wet bars -- that's the Biblical view."
- Ann in her latest column

My Laughing Liberally callback last night -- I thought it went well (Bush isn't too clear on what's happening in Iraq, but he's certain he knows the cause of this Avian Flu -- "city folk drinkin' all that fancy water." Avian ... for health and beauty), but then after my set this woman at the bar said to me, consolingly: "We can't be on all the time."

The producers of Laughing Liberally specifically asked for political material and asked in the initial interview if we could write new material on a regular basis, so I'm assuming they wanted actual jokes based on the news. A solid half of the other comics I saw, however, seemed to just be doing their regular sets. One very funny lady, though, performed quotes from Bush's speeches as slam poetry, which pretty much knocked us all on our assess.

Later in the night, I had the pleasure of running into Eugene Mirman outside Galapagos. That makes me a little tingly.

(Eugene Addendum: This video is so funny it will make you pee).
