The Video Room: Live at the Columbus Funny Bone

A few months ago I got a new video camera and I've been shooting tons of behind the scenes footage at my shows, documenting life on the road. I have even turned the camera on some lucky crowds (or unlucky depending on your point of view) from the stage during my shows!

Check out my latest video from the Columbus Funny Bone in Columbus, Ohio.

Happy Holiday Season

 

For the past week I have been wandering around my neighborhood performing my annual caroling and wassailing, and I have noticed more and more people down in the dumps. I think it's because of the economic crisis. This Christmas is turning into the plot of a 1960's Rankin and Bass Holiday Special - "The Year Wall Street Stole Christmas from Main Street." The only way to beat these doldrums is to fight back using stop motion puppet photography. Let's make a new special out of this situation! Here's the plot:

The Head of the North Pole Bank who bears a striking resemblance to Burger Meister Meister Burger is sick of Christmas and wants to put an end to it. His plan is to get the North Pole Government to give him all of its money so no one will be able to buys toys for the children. The President of the North Pole, as played by that creepy dentist pal of Rudolph's, agrees without even thinking about it. But the money isn't enough for Burger Meister Meister Burger, so he calls in his pals, The Big Three Sleigh makers as played by The Heat Miser, The Cold Miser and the Abominable Snowman, to take all the rest. Leaving only lumps of coal for all the children, which is kind of a help, what with heating fuel costs. But its clean coal and we all know that exists as much as good ole St. Nick himself.

All seems lost. No one seemed to be able to stop him. Not Rudolph as voiced by Barney Frank. Not Mrs. Claus, as voiced by Nancy Pelosi and not even Barack Obama as voiced by Fred Astaire. At the very last minute on Christmas Eve, Santa called all the townspeople together and said, "We're in uncharted waters here and nobody seems to know what will happen. We might have a complete financial meltdown or things might just be bad for a very long time." And then with a tip of his hat and a twinkle in his eye and a sack full of cash, he bellowed, "Good night to all and Merry Christmas ya' suckers!"

Holiday Cheer to All! - Paul

The Election is Over!

Well the election is over and I for one am very excited about an Obama Presidency. I think he will do a great job. I am so sure that I am already referring to O'hare International airport as Obama International airport. And I've been collecting quarters and scratching in Obama's face over Washington's. It's a bold new era and I can't conceive of anything going wrong. Except for maybe a recession and or a depression, and an endless war in Afghanistan, but change is in the air and I can't wait.

People are comparing this time to when the Kennedy's first came to Washington. That's right, Camelot is back. Which means we can look forward to skinny ties, back pain, blond starlets in the White house and thousands of "advisors" in South East Asia.

To be honest I am just happy that the whole thing is over. But what I don't understand is why Sarah Palin won't go away. Did no one tell her that when you lose you're supposed to recede back into the Alaskan night. You don't show up on every TV show possible. She is on TV more often than episodes of Top Chef. You lost Sarah! That means we don't want to hear you discuss your recipe for Moose hot dogs with Matt Lauer. We voted against you! Which means we don't want to pal around with you anymore. Please go home and dish up some disgusting slaughtered animal for your family and leave us alone. Oh, and return the clothes too.

Unreliable Intelligence: Edwards ’08 Don’t Be a Player Hater

My latest installment of my new web series, UNRELIABLE INTELLIGENCE WITH PAUL MECURIO is all about John Edwards for President in ‘08. Let's just say that most of the women I interviewed at the Democratic National Convention were not very enthusiastic about the idea. I know, I know -- it's the DNC and we're all (supposedly) about Obama now. But seriously, don't hate the player. Hate the game. John Edwards '08! Check it out and stay tuned for more videos live from the conventions! - Paul
