Any of the "Top Chef" live bloggers around? I just made Ned Flanders' (AKA Rick Bayless') guacamole. :)

Wanda Sykes' HBO comedy special was pretty funny. Maybe SNL should hire her as a writer.

@OrneryBabe: Is there a new one? I love her standup. And I'm pretty sure she won an Emmy or was nominated for one when she wrote for the Chris Rock show. I've been a good bit less impressed by her tv shows.

@Kakapo: Yes, it's new. I much prefer her in an uncensored, no-holds-barred setting like standup. She's much funnier when she's free to be raunchy. I have been a fan of hers for some time, ever since she made occasional appearances on the Chris Rock show. I think she wrote for that show.

HBO will no doubt repeat this 358 times, so you'll have no problem catching it.

Just for off-topic but earlier-thread-reference funzies, I just caught the Kate Gosselin appearance on Leno on Hulu... and um, holy shit.

Not only is Jay's show a piece of shit about to be cancelled (obvz) but Kate should never ever go into even bit-character acting. She can't even phrase a couple of lines without sounding unnatural and unfunny. failfialfailfailfail

Sadz. =( The SNFF thread is just not happening on Gawker these days, is it? Hmm, what can I do to ignite it? [Twiddling thumbs] Let me try:

Nazis!
Julia Allison!
Nick Denton solicited me in a subway restroom last nite!
I went to law school with Obama and he once bummed a roach off of me!
I had sex with a unicorn!
Quentin Tarantino is the greatest filmmaker in the history of filmmaking!
Hurricane Katrina is COMING BACK this fall, y'all!

..etc.

@OrneryBabe: Yes! Regina Spektor's quite wonderful, actually.. Soviet-born chanteuse with gorgeous piano songs and great lyrics. I only saw her live once, at an Oscar de la Renta runway show where she provided the musical accompaniment--just a girl and her piano--and she almost made me weep. She's the real deal.

Otherwise a total free spirit, smart, adorable, girl. I went to see her when the first album came out and she totally remembered me. Since that time, we've lost touch.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the right wing shit show coming tomorrow about the DADT speach.

I took it as more of a contrast than a comparison. He was saying: Let's keep things in perspective here.

If anyone's got some sleazy liaisons in his past, I'm guessing it's Maher given his fondness for the Playboy Mansion over the years.

As for commenting - according to my profile, my ability to comment is not enabled. Which is curious. Don't think I've said anything more offensive than usual lately. And, clearly, I am still able to comment. Colour me confused.
