Revolution

Well its been a busy month for me and I am grateful for that. I now await the election to get an idea of what will be in store for me personally. In the two weeks after Obama was elected to office in 2008, I had $5000 worth of hypnosis shows canceled for that upcoming holiday season.

Those were all corporate holiday shows which gave me personal proof that companies believed that this was not going to be a business friendly administration. And it hasn’t been.

People who believe in this guy can scream and shout all they want thinking that the opposite is true, but it was really only true for companies that poured money into his campaign. You know, like GE which we found out went a whole year without paying a dime of tax on boatloads of money.

The past few holiday seasons have been slow for that same reason; companies cut back on everything. That was even for a lot of companies that might have been doing well. Some of those companies purposely held back on spending on those types of affairs because it made it look like they were flaunting money during rough times.

That only screwed people like me which was a direct result of what started in November, 2008.

I have an agent out in L.A. who only books corporate shows. His business has been down 80% during the last four years.

Need I say much more in a space that I prefer to keep short?

I think its so obvious that it should be slapping people in the face that if we truly believe that businesses, both small and big, should thrive in this nation that we need to let them do so. For me my choice will be clear this Election Day because I need to get back to much better days so maybe I can retire. If this does not go my way I literally, at this moment, see no clear path to retirement.



It is a busy TV season. I try to watch everything I can late at night. Here is the current list:
Baseball Playoffs
Survivor
X Factor
The Voice
Raising Hope
American Horror Story
Revolution
Two and a Half Men
Fringe
Grimm
Dexter
Homeland
Impractical Jokers

I won’t even begin to list all of the reasons that they are good and on my viewing list because it would simply take too long. One that you might not have heard of, however, is the last one. It is on TruTV and stars 4 lifelong friends who do candid camera stunts with unsuspecting people as each of the friends is the victim of a practical joke in the scene.
I had the opportunity to work with one of the guys on the show in the past which was what put it on my radar. But its laugh-out-loud funny most of the time.

I should mention that on Survivor there is Delaware’s first contestant on the show that lives in Delaware. Here name is Katie and she is a former Miss Delaware. Naturally she is representing us here horribly. I did recently send in an entry to the show and at the time I said I was looking to be the first person from Delaware to be on the show. Now I will need to edit it to state that I want to be the first person from Delaware to not embarrass an entire state on the show.

She isn’t even the best looking girl on the show and that isn’t really a surprise since I don’t think that in the history of national beauty contests has a girl from the First State ever even made the top ten. The honor of hottest Survivor girl goes to Angie Layton from Utah.



Oh, did I say Utah…again? I love Utah. I would move there in a minute. This is one more reason why.



Delaware already has a bad reputation because of Joe Biden and now our former Miss Delaware has just piled on top of it. This may be another reason why I need to move. If these are the representatives of my state out there I can only imagine what the public thinks if they see that I originate from a place which sends out these reps and then makes it less likely to hire me to do a comedy show.



Well indeed Miguel Cabrera won the batting Triple Crown to become the first winner of that honor since 1967 in either league. It’s a Herculean accomplishment as evidenced by the length of time since we had one.
Now the Tigers have just swept the Yankees out of the playoffs and are awaiting the winner of the Cardinals-Giants series, which seems to be a lock for St. Louis now, in the World Series.

Let’s see…what else? Oh yeah…hot women.
Here is a shot of Revolution’s leading lady Tracy Spirodakos.



I’m not sure that when I watch the show I’m all that much in love with her. But I can see how others are. I think it’s the character and how they dress her on the show that makes a big difference. But one can easily tell that she has no problem attracting dudes, this is for sure.

On a real positive note, Scarlett Johansson is available again. And remember, folks, that I am going to the Dungeon of Manlove show until she makes a 15 minute appearance on it in person or until she porks up and/or uglies up. This will be quite some time for sure so if you want the DoM to stop, you know what to do.



Yes, I know she roots for the wrong political team, but if I can get her close enough to me I have a bunch of ways to fix that little problem, if you know what I’m saying.

Done
