For the New Yorkers

[urbpan]

I know New York City can be a dull staid place, and people who live near there languish for lack of entertainment or intellectual stimulation, but I just got this message in my email that I though I'd share:


Dear Mailing List,

It's election season! And although I will go to my grave a die-hard supporter of the DYNAMIC, FRESH-FACED PHENOMENON that is FRED THOMPSON, I have been "hornswoggled" into participating in a fundraiser for some ol' fuddy-duddy named Barack Obama.

I was reviewing the line-up and started busting a gut in the mere ANTICIPATION of the "threat-level-omega" laughtivity that is gonna be unleashed:

Aziz Ansari, Eugene Mirman, Heather Lawless, Andrea Rosen, Slovin and Allen, Todd Barry, David Rees, Whitest Kids U Know, Laura Krafft, Greg Johnson + More!

If, like me, you'd prefer that the keys to the White House are not passed back and forth between Bushes and Clintons like a goddamn Myrtle Beach time-share, I encourage you to attend this event!

I can't vouch for those other jokers, but David Rees (I think of him as my friend Cal) is pants-wettingly hilarious (in print and in person).

I can vouch for the hilarity of Andrea Rosen.

Curiously. my buddy Dave "Since-I-moved-out-west-I-believe-the-earth-is-6000-years-old" M. is seriously considering hopping parties and voting for Obama.

That's comforting but baffling. I would have figured Romney would have had the lock on all of your christian and mormon buddies.

I know even more Mormons now, but they're mostly liberals (it happens) and Romney's religion doesn't enter into their presidential thought making process. It's fun to give them crap and say "But I thought your bishop told you you had to vote Mitt."

That was me. Sorry, for some reason I slipped into a Firfox browser window without realizing it.

Damn it to hell for not living in New York.

Whitest Kids U Know are hella funny, they remind me so much of my bf and his friends that it borders on creepy.
