@Cairojoc - Simple: speaking before congress in that persona brought more public attention to the hearing itself and to the issue at hand. If he spoke to Congress as himself, would anybody care? I highly doubt it. By speaking in his TV persona, he guaranteed that more people will watch, bringing greater awareness…

Yeah, never mind the fact that they *invited* sad showbiz jerkoff to speak. It's not like he just stormed into the hearing and demanded the floor. They can say he's wasting their time all they want, but it's their own fucking fault for inviting him. I mean, what did they expect him to do?

As you yourself already mentioned, Peter Sellers.

Did anybody else…
… think of The Monarch fucking Venture's robot that one time when they showed him in bed with the ButterGlider?

The doctor said I wouldn't have so many nosebleeds if I kept my finger out of there!

Favorite moment: when Nelson strips off his bathing suit at the end of "Bart of Darkness," and he says "Oh, the gentle caress of a summer breeze." Cue "Summer Wind."

It's a tough gamble, because what's nice about going to a specific time and place in the past is that you know exactly what's going on at that time. Going into the future is a total crapshoot. Still, I can see the appeal.

I contend that it's the first.

This is a great question. Being the classic rock geek that I am, I'd probably go with London: 1966-1971. Catch the British rock scene, The Who and Hendrix in their prime, try to weasel my way into the Beatles' sessions at Apple Studios (I produce music, so I could get a job if I research enough about 60's…

Zack, Zack, Zack…
You've been watching *way* too much Futurama and Star Trek: TNG.

Lionel Hutz, aka Miguel Sanchez, aka Dr. Nguyen Van Falk…

Wow.
Thom Yorke's voice kind of sucks live. Good to know.

"I want you to clean your vagina. From behind…"

The guy refers to "filthy humans" so much that I'm beginning to think he's actually Travolta's character from Battlefield Earth. Admittedly, it could use a "man-animal" or two.

Please, do us all a favor. Walk around downtown NYC on Halloween night and try to think of another word to describe the outfits you see on women. Somehow, I doubt you'll be thinking of the word "empowered."

I guess it's just me, but I'm having no trouble hearing the vocals on this mix. The background vocals are a little buried, but that happens.

Hey, at least it wasn't a hoax that turned into truth a couple days later, like Dio.

Holy shit!
That is incredibly fucked up. I can't even imagine what it was like to witness that. Can you imagine going to that show thinking "Oh my God! I have front row seats for The Swell Season tonight! This is going to be awesome!!!"

Lookout Buddy.
