Jeff Kreisler ‘08:
A writer for Comedy Central’s Indecision2008 and winner of the Bill Hicks Spirit Award, Kreisler dissects American politics and culture with passion, absurdity, and hope.
“A highlight” - The New York Times
“A welcome reminder of a time when comedy cut a lot closer to the issues of the day than most comics now dare.” - Dallas Morning News
“Kreisler changes the pace with a slightly demented, extremely animated set that attacks everything…” - San Francisco Chronicle

The Americans:
“The Americans” is a fast-paced, absurd, multimedia live sitcom sketch show parodying American family, politics, and culture. When money problems hit the once wealthy Americans, the family scrambles to control their crumbling world. Republican dad Sam takes desperate measures to reverse his growing credibility gap. Left-wing mom Libby vows to maintain the household’s feng shui. Spoiled daughter Mary chases celebrity while fending off advances from her boyfriend Ira Raq.
What will happen to The Americans?
“Brilliant, cutting satire” - Lizz Winstead, creator of “The Daily Show”

RIP, master. No one produced more, better, longer than you.

“Bill Hicks Award Winner” jokes about assassinating Obama

Methinks not everyone gets ‘comedy,’ though some of the commentators understand.

I mean, in 2008 dollars, the Peloponnession War in 431 B.C. would have been, well, absurd.

And this is “news”… why? Have you been outside lately? Or are we all still under the blissfully terrifying myst of ignorant complacency which makes Stephen King creations look like Care Bears?
Yup, there’s racism. Has been for a while. Let’s deal with it…

He did say “Great stuff! Very funny! I wrote some of that down to use” after my performance Friday night at the Val Air Ballroom in Des Moines, Iowa (site of the infamous 2004 “Dean Scream,” fyi).
He’s a good man, that Senator, and well-loved.
If, however, any of you flip on C-Span and see him pantomiming Fox News as a Nazi Weather Broadcast… let me know. The Reverend Wright drama will be nothing compared to a comic scorned.

More soon. Heavy travel over for a spell…
