    Robert Smigel | The A.V. Club

    Robert Smigel on why Hillary won't win. Makes a lot of sense, actually...especially the last sentence. Very unfortunate.

    Quoted: Baggage. That's the reason that she isn't getting in, pretty much. I have never seen a candidate come into a race with so much baggage and be so prejudged as Hillary Clinton. I've always been amazed at the magnitude of hatred a certain segment of the public has for her. It's a combination of factors: There's the sexist side of it that she's a strong woman that doesn't always convey a big sense of humor. Not that there are a lot of male candidates who are necessarily cut-ups either. There's that, then there's the fact that the Clintons are basically the most successful Democratic politicians of the last 30 years, and thus became lightning rods for the opposition. You put those two things together, sexism and partisanship. You couldn't build a candidate that had more baggage than Hillary. Those two things. It's pretty incredible. No candidate has ever demonstrated in an unwitting way how wrong-headed the way we make decisions about who will run our country really is.

    Quoted: The comedy veteran and co-writer of You Don't Mess With The Zohan talks about mixing laughs and politics and the art of the dick joke.

    The Kids In The Hall | The A.V. Club

    LOVE Kids in the Hall. I hope they're stopping in Seattle. I'm definitely going to see them. Glad to hear they're putting together another TV show too.

    Quoted: The venerable comedy troupe talks about reuniting, hitting the road with new material, and getting along better than ever these days. Mostly.

    Ricky Gervais... Obviously.

    Free Ricky Gervais podcasts are available on iTunes. I've been listening to some today--pretty funny, if not "mental."

    Quoted: Multi-award-winning writer/comedian Ricky Gervais's officially sanctioned web site. Find out what Ricky's up to next and get lots of nauseating detail on his previous work. You can even ask questions.
