Chipotle announced they are
now making deliveries. Which makes sense, Chipotle is a Spanish word that
means, fat, lazy gringos.
Complaints against airlines
rose 22% last year. Upon hearing this, an executive of Spirit Airlines said; “It
is gratifying to know we are making a difference.”

A former Utah high school
teacher, 35-year-old Brianna Altice, admitted to having sex with three high
school students in a plea deal. In exchange the prosecution dropped other charges
including the charge of making all the other male students extremely jealous.
Three more women have accused
Bill Cosby of sexual assault bringing the total to 41. How many people remember
the good old days when the only crimes Bill Cosby was accused of were ugly
sweater fashion felonies?
Three more women have accused
Bill Cosby of drugging and sexual assault bringing the total to 41. Five more
and they get their own area code.
I’m starting to think there
may be something to this. 40 women, not convincing. But 41, now you have my
attention.
Dear Hillary
Clinton:
As a comedy
writer, it is important to me for you to stay in the race. At the rate your
scandals and screw-ups are piling up – seriously, you didn’t think to tip at
Chipotle? – you’re not going to be around for long unless you hire me as a
speech writer/comedy consultant.
My rates are
reasonable and non-negotiable. (Nothing wears me out faster than having to
argue with cheap rich people who think writing comedy is its own reward)
Now I know your
writers think they are funny. They are not. 99.9% of the population thinks they
could be a comedy writer. 99% of them could not be more wrong.
Hillary, you
have a serious image problem.
Your image problem
is not political. The far right are going to hate you no matter what you do.
Your image problem is not because you are a highly motivated woman. Sexist men - and women - are going to hate you no matter what you do.
And you have a
hard-core group of intellectual Clinton-lovers who are going to vote for you
even if they find out you kidnapped the Lindberg baby. (You didn’t did you? Oh,
right, the wrong era thing. You’re off the hook on this one)
Your image
problem is personal. Or maybe more accurately impersonal.
Your image
problem is that you seem disingenuous. Every comedian who nails you, including spot-on impressions by Amy Poehler and Kate McKinnon, nails your hyper-active
duplicity.
Almost every
word and gesture you and Bill utter seems synthetic and designed for a
political effect. And that artificial, phony stench is off-putting to people who might
have voted for you otherwise.
The best way to
combat that air of hypocrisy is with some good, old fashioned self-deprecating
comedy. Nobody wants hoaky. Corny. Nobody wants to see Hillary Clinton do ten minutes
at the Komedy Klub in Kankakee doing jokes about cankles.
But a few
well-worded zingers at yourself, ala your and Bill’s idol, John F. Kennedy, and
you are back in business. Who wrote for JFK? Ted Sorenson. And Ted Sorenson was
a witty, witty guy.
Now, as a writer, I am no Ted Sorenson. You ain’t getting’
no “Ask not what your country can do for you . . “ out of my sorry Paris
Hilton-joking butt.
But I am funny
and I cost far less than Ted.
Would I vote for
you, Hillary? Probably not. Would I write for you? You bet your
pantsuit-wearing ass.
But part of me
thinks you might make a good president and or you might be the most qualified. To deserve that chance, you need to win-over people just like me by hiring me to write for you.
Sincerely, your
comedy writing whore,
Alex Kaseberg
(I would e-mail
you a copy of this, but I know you would just erase it)
