You will remember Dan Butler from his role as "Bulldog," the testosterone addled sportscaster on Frasier. Also featured in dozens of films, TV shows and plays, he's one of those talents perpetually relegated to supporting actor status, or, as he describes himself, "Tonto."

He finally gets top billing as the...

First, Sarah Silverman made a hilarious music video for boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel called "I'm F***ing Matt Damon." Then Kimmel countered with a response called "I'm F***ing Ben Affleck," which upped the ante and became a "We Are The World" spoof, complete with cameos by Brad Pitt,...

Like a sex addict's love for his genitalia, Ann Coulter is hopelessly in love with the sound of her own voice, one of the most annoying sounds in all creation. Her every utterance drips with know-it-all condescension and sarcasm, as she takes single syllable words and doubles them in a...

James Dobson, grand poobah of Focus On The Family, is kicking and screaming like a big baby, throwing a very public hissy fit about John McCain's possible presidential nomination. He's using every ounce of influence he has, while denying that he seeks influence, to derail McCain's nomination. It's more fun...

Mitt Romney, he of the perfect Mormon mishbucha, doesn't think my family is a real family. Of course, who knows what he really thinks, since his every calculated move is as sincere as a lap dance. On Hardball, Romney advisor Jim Talent made the typically convoluted statement "Look, he wants...

At the GOP debate in Iowa, Mitt Romney's performance was proof he belongs in a dinner theater production of The Music Man as the shyster Harold Hill, who convinces the Iowa yokels they need a marching band when he has no intention of providing the instruments. If he gets elected...

When I was a kid, my grandmother made me watch The Lawrence Welk Show, which remains a guilty pleasure today. It's hilarious, with Welk's strange German by way of Fargo accent saying things like "Tank you, tank you, dose were our champagne virgins, de Lennon Sisters, crossing dere legs and...

Like many a performer, internet junkie or just an idiot with too much spare time, I was lured into creating a MySpace account. You know, that "networking" site where you can potentially link to millions, all of whom are your "friends." I'd heard it was a great way to publicize...

The "Jerry Springer" face of religious fanaticism, the Fred Phelps "God Hates Fags" clan, was finally sued for protesting a soldier's funeral and a jury awarded the plaintiff $11 million for invasion of privacy and emotional distress. Good luck getting the cash, man. It's a shame the jury can't award...

The "Values Voters" Summit in DC last weekend brought together evangelicals and the Republicans who pander to them in an orgy of self-congratulation, determination, and worry. Speaker after speaker trumpeted how the Religious Right is still a powerful force, dammit, with Gary Bauer declaring, "I say to my reporter friends,...

Wait, don't get me wrong. I think it's hilarious poetic justice that a right wing lawmaker who did everything he could to trample gays under his feet was brought down for tapping said feet in an airport toilet. I wish every moralizing moron would have his or her closets so...

One of my favorite jokes: a Jewish guy is talking to a gentile and says, "Nobody cares about the Jews anymore. Nobody cares about the Jews. Last night I dreamed Adolf Hitler killed six million Jews, and two rodeo clowns."

The gentile says, "Why did he kill two rodeo clowns?"

Mitt Romney, that used car salesman presidential candidate, has come up with a new whopper to convince us to buy his Edsel: "I am not anti-gay."

He said, "What you look for in a leader is someone who will welcome and treat with respect people who made different choices and...

Rosie and Elisabeth's latest, and most lethal, The View smackdown, resulting in hurt feelings, endless YouTube plays and Rosie's heading for the hills, was riveting TV not just because of the spectacle of two physical and political polar opposite females airing their female trouble. It wasn't just Tugboat Annie running...
