Gregalogue: Obama the bigot.

This is a bit dated (internetually speaking) but I only just started watching Red Eye (on hulu). I don't have cable and would not be up that late to watch TV anyway but man is that show 10 kinds of awsome. This must be what it's like for libs who watch The Daily Show....

I love it.  It's the highlight of my night when I'm working mids.

I discovered Red Eye about a year ago and watch it often.

I watched it when it first aired and wondered why we don't have an elected conservative who takes it to Obama like Greg does.  And Greg doesn't strike me as a rock-ribbed conservative, especially on social issues, but he is one of the few voices and few comedians willing to make jokes at the Messiah's expense.

That's true, it turns out ol' Greg is one of them thar Libertarians. He's got a half hour (or so) interview on his politics at ReasonTV that is pretty recent. That puts him pretty close to me as on those "political compass" type test I'm always a "right wing libertarian". Likely due to my Ayn Rand culthood. Take away my belief in God and I'm a total Randoid almost to the point of Ron Paul crazyhood. Which reminds me, Red Eye introduced me to my new favorite Congressman, one Mr. Thaddeus McCotter. That guy seems pretty cool to from what limited stuff I know about him so far.

For example...
