Comment on “If That Thing Had 9 Lives, He Just Spent ‘Em All” by Garret Biehle

Get the facts straight? I watched most of the Katt Williams diatribe. Clearly, truth was not the coin of the realm. Here I myself will draw from a comic by introducing the concept of truthiness (Steven Colbert). In American politics, culture, and humor, truthiness trumps truth every time. “Who cares if the USA stole Arizona from Mexico? Who cares if white people took land from Hispanic people after the Mexican-American War? If you are a Hispanic person who disagrees with American politics, then you should immigrate south of the border (that the United States decided).” As far as the crowd being on the side of Williams is concerned, crowds cannot resist kicking someone when they are down. In the moment, they tend to join the attacker, not the victim.

Comment on Why NY Rules & LA Sucks / Why LA Rules & NY Sucks by nick

I’ve been to both and NYc is still better. Too many stuck up people in all of Cali. Superficial is the best way to put it. Beautiful girls? Yeah after they got how much lipo, plastic surgery and botox? lol Not all of them are like this but majority are stupid AF as well. I’ll take a city that has heart over a fake stuck up town any day. I like LA’s beaches and weather more but what makes a city a city is it’s people and there’s just so much more to do in NYc than LA. Just my opinion. I’d live in both cities over Buffalo etc.

[...] Talk about Homeland Security. The State Dept. has sent three comedians to India on a goodwill tour. Those three comedians are Azhar Usman, Hari Kondabolu, and me (Rajiv Satyal, although you probably guessed that, considering this is my blog). It’s kind of cool that we’re repping the three largest cities in America – Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles, respectively (in order of comedians listed, not size or importance of cities – previously covered).

[...] At P&G, we used Start-Stop-Continue to figure out what we should, well, Start doing, Stop doing, and Continue doing. The idea is that if you want 2012 to look different and have all these goals, then the time has to come from somewhere. Here’s where. Guess you could call it an extension of my F*ck It List. [...]
