I was in Pensacola last night doing a show about a mile from the rally. Got caught up in the same traffic, ate dinner at the same barbecue joint, saw his motorcade, even had 6-8 rally attendees (or just tailgaters?) come to my show.

He’s actually Canadian.

I notice that neither the article nor the comments section seems to acknowledge the very real existence of women like this. Her racism is not over the top, it’s par for the course.

Good on you for making sure the guy whose wife and kids were shot dead on his birthday doesn’t wiggle his way out of taking responsibility for this.

In Ontario, the provincial workplace safety overseers put out a series of commercials along these same lines. But they didn’t bother with cute animations, they went straight to depicting awful workplace accidents.

This is why standup comedy shows are the best places to be. It’s not a safe space; there may be harsh words said about anyone (probably some more than others, but that reflects on the general makeup of the lineup and audience), and it’s only justifiable if it’s made into a joke that works.

That’s actually not the first time someone’s had that issue with Canada’s Olympic uniforms: http://www.theprovince.com/sports/Olympic…

I bet Doug’s got a fondness for Bollywood from his days playing in Toronto, where it’s impossible to live and not get invited to Indian weddings.

I’m a standup comic, and it’s gotten to the point where I can look out into the audience and spot the couples who fought on their way to the show. They start off pretty icy, and by the end of the show they’re laughing as hard as anyone else. It’s fun, getting to witness the “get over it and move on” process.

If they argue that much in public, maybe it isn’t a breakdown of their self-imposed discipline. Maybe they just don’t give a fuck who sees them argue.

I don’t come across many people, white or black, that can talk about race in a way that impacts either their own race or the other’s.

I said that the wrong coach asked the wrong question. But he wasn’t asking if Apple was gay, he was just putting him on the spot and seeing if the kid would get uncomfortable. It was a shit test done poorly and over-aggressively, the way jocks and bullies tend to do.

Wasn’t the most tactful of questions, but I get what the coach was going for. It just sounds like the wrong coach spoke up.

I’m finding the opposite reaction to the show in my house.
