They say that the greatest arguement against democracy...

Post by Alex Moon »

Is a 5 minute discussion with the average voter.

MSNBC has some show on where "average people" are brought in to offer their opinions. They get a full hour. :shock:

Ah Churchill, one of the best quotes guys ever.
"Oh no, oh yeah, tell me how can it be so fair
That we dying younger hiding from the police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

"I think it’s the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately."

I am reminded of a recent 2-second bit on CBS news at 4:00 that had an airheaded college girl staring at the camera going "I don't think we should go to war. There's no reason. There's really no reason." in this godawful high-pitched half-giggle

Talkback? I thought that they have professionals on that show and the audience would once in a while stand up and say something.
