- Cool story bro, you much love presidents that have wars with no meaning. I'll make sure to tell that to all the soldiers who are getting their legs shot off and the people who are starving under this poor economy. Get a grasp on what his views are, and also read up on economics because his econ policies are a hell of a lot better then the other candidates.
Anyone who thinks Ron Paul’s economic policies would help starving people has got to take some time to read. Something. Anything.
- Re: My Last Post
I’ve edited out the part about Zionism. Too much confusion, do not want to give off the wrong idea. Thank you for understanding.
- Ron Paul Will Never Be President So Shut Up.
Dear people who are still convinced Ron Paul is good for America,
Ron Paul isn’t gonna win. I’m not saying that because I’m part of any kind of media pushback. I’m speaking as a regular citizen with a casual interest in American presidents and I also reads the news every single day. Honestly, it doesn’t take much to see how obvious it is that Ron Paul will never, ever be president.
The thing is,
People are gonna see the speech in front of the Confederate flag,
They’re gonna read the newsletters (which, if he didn’t write them is a huge executive error on his part),
They’re gonna hear that he really wants to overturn Roe v Wade,
They’re gonna hear that he has always been against the Civil Rights Act,
They’re gonna see him on news shows getting angry and talking for a long time about how “a free society” should be, but never talking about the real needs of modern America, and what people (voters, taxpayers, progressives, actual people) want,
They’re gonna hear “states’ rights”,
And they’re gonna pass on him. Like they should.
Because, like it or not, Barack Obama singing Al Green is what America needs wants and needs now, not to be told that things were better in the 1800’s and that the government should’ve bailed out slave-owners instead of going to war.
He talks about the Constitution like it’s not even ours, like it belongs to dead people and if we keep messing with it then they’re gonna get mad and come back. I personally don’t feel that the country we live in has anything at all to do with what was here in the 1700’s. There’s been…how many Superbowls since then?
He’s just a crazy idea guy, not a real candidate for president. PRESIDENT. I can imagine him giving his inauguration speech complaining about how “this wasn’t the kind of inauguration the Forefathers intended”.
A president has to be able to deal with Congress. Nobody in Congress likes Ron Paul. You think they don’t like Obama? That man won in a landslide and can’t get those assholes to budge on anything. Ron Paul wouldn’t even be allowed to speak.
He has no endorsements or support from any real people. He has no new energy plan, or any tax ideas beyond “ending the fed” (good luck with that one). If he pitched a VAT then he might gain traction with independents, but he hates that idea and besides, it’s a Libertarian no-no.
It was cute while it lasted, and believe me, I wish he wasn’t such a Texan, because some of his ideas are kinda nice. I don’t like bailouts or drug wars either, but the cons outweigh the pros in such a way that I’m surprised the conversation has continued this long.
The Ron Paul ReLOVEution ends in 2012, probably next month.
- Grow Up! is Austin's premiere weekly comedy radio show
KPWR’s Grow Up! is a comedy radio show about music, film and other escapes that comedians enjoy as people. Hosted by Seth Cockfield.
Tune in live every Thursday, 6pm CST at www.growupradio.com
Thanks for listening!
My new weekly radio show. Every Thursday from 6-8 at kpwr.org. I’ll be playing music and discussing life with various local and national comic personalities.
First episode is already up and available for stream or download.
- Live at Coldplay
This exchange took place at a banquet I worked. It totally made my night.
Guy: Oh hey, I remember you!
Me: Oh?
Guy: I went to a comedy show and it was terrible, but you were awesome! You did a good job.Me: Aw wow, thanks, man! Where did you see the show?
Guy: Coldplay theater.
Me: Nice! I love that place! - Show Time!
I’m headlining Live at Coldtowne Friday night. Hey, seriously, if you’ve never seen me do comedy, go see this show. It’s BYOB, and admission is less then the price of a drink on E. 6th. I’ve been called “comedian” by the Austin Chronicle, and Funny or Die told me “hello” in an email. 10pm!
PS This is how sad you’ll look if you don’t make it.
Fred Phelps does not believe what he is doing. This is a scam. It’s a business. They travel the country, set up websites telling you exactly when they’ll be there, and using the most inflammatory statements all over the place, just to get someone to violate their rights for profit. Then they sue the military, the police force that was to protect them, and everyone that is around them for money. This is a sham, and it is a trap to get people sued. Every member of his family is an attorney. Phelps does not break the law. What he does is try to make you break the law by trying to punch your sensibilities about everything you hold dear, and then sue you and everyone municipality around him to the max. This is a scam.
You guys realize that the Westboro Baptist Church just exists to provoke people and get them to assault its members, right? Ignorezies, Ignorezies, Ignorezies. Unless you’re the IRS. In which case, AUDITZIES.

- In a Funk
Dear Sly, of course you’re homeless. Move out of L.A. Come to Austin, crash on couches and make a slow but deliberate comeback here in town. A SXSW appearance would make you a god.
-Austin, TX (I know it’s in Texas but you need all the help you can get)
Look at this stupid woman on this stupid show. Television is turning the word ‘star’ into the worst possible insult.
I didn’t upload this, but I did have this set recording off Comedy Central for years and used to watch it constantly. Bob Odenkirk does whatever he wants, and it’s amazing. It’s not even ruined by Sandra Bernard amateurish intro.
I can’t believe he got on TV with this set, and that they even aired it. So strange and hilarious. The crowd barely gets it, but Bob is still having a great time. Very influential to me.
This guy keeps me going, even though he’s no longer with us.
Gonna spend my day revisiting some of his best work.
I don’t know if I have a favorite film, but this one always come to mind when I try to think of such a thing.
Tomorrow night at midnight there’s a benefit for Texas wildfire relief.
It’s at the New Movement theater, and every cent of the $5 admission goes to help the folks who have effected by these tragic wildfires.
I feel very honored to be on the lineup, which is absolutely stellar:
- Chris Cubas
- Ramin Nazer
- Mac Blake
- Michael Priest
- Mike MacRae (!!!!)
- Jake Flores
- Cody Hustak
- Kerri Lendo
It’s all hosted by a newcomer to the scene, Duncan Carson. This show is going to be incredible. Please come and show your support.

THE SWAG EPISODE
Holy shit. My guests last week were Ryan Cownie (aka MC Thad Newman) and Jared Hawley (They Aint Ready).
Both these guys are completely out of their minds, adding an air of unpredictability to every stand-up show they’re on. We talked about hip-hop, (casual) BMX, (casual) skateboarding, why stand-up comedy is boring and cartoons are in, not to mention you’ll hear some great music from MC Thad Newman plus an attempt at a freestyle. Kinda.
Enjoy!

THE BOOZE EPISODE
Last Thursday, I hung out with Riverboat Gamblers’ frontman Mike Wiebe, and Altercation/Fun Fun Fun Fest favorite Jake Flores.
We discussed coexisting with booze, how it supplements our lives, how The Dead Milkmen and The Misfits are two extremely important bands that everyone should get into early in their lives, and whether or not we’re actually just adult children. Plus, you’ll hear tunes from Royal Baths, Roger Miller, Agent Orange and The Riverboat Gamblers!
Thanks for listening,

THE PUNK EPISODE
I sat down with comedian & Altercation magazine editor JT Habersaat as well as fellow punk rock comedian and Sandstone overlord, Joe Staats.
We really get to the bottom of what’s punk and what’s not, what selling out really is, a way-too-long discussion about Aerosmith, and Staats drops a couple of bombs involving the Rolling Stones and Gallagher’s daughter. Also, you’ll hear tracks from Born to Lose, Jay Reatard, The Blue Meanies, and more.
Enjoy!

THE NERD EPISODE
In easily the nerdiest episode yet, I sat down with Brian Gaar, journalist and curator of the Friday night Velveeta Room showcase “It’s Always Funny w/ Brian Gaar”, and Bryan Gutmann, an FPIA winner who recently performed at Just for Laughs. What ensued was a very fun, very nerdy conversation.
We discussed nightmares, what people would say about us if were dead, at one point I compare car crashes and pornography, and of course we cover a lot of video game-related ground. Plus you’ll hear tracks from Canned Heat, Hacienda (from San Antonio), The Advantage and more.
Enjoy!
