AMERICA YOU HAVE LOST YOUR SATIRE PRIVILEDGES
IF YOU CAN’T RESPONSIBLY DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN REALITY AND FICTION THEN YOU JUST CAN’T HAVE ACCESS TO COMMENTARY THAT DOESN’T HAVE GREAT BIG WARNING: PARODY! STICKERS ALL OVER IT
We can discuss this once the party conventions are over.

I had my father get sick when I was 22. And I was poor, alright. And my father had an ulcer, and it exploded and you know all these toxins get in your blood. And basically, my father died, whatever, 50 days after his ulcer. So I had a father get sick while I was poor.
My mother got sick when I was rich. And my mother, you know… I don’t really want to get into it, but my mother was sicker than my father. And my mother’s alive. My mother’s fine, OK? I remember going to the hospital to see my mother and wondering, ‘Was I in the right place?’ Like, this was a hotel. Like it had a concierge, man.
People don’t… if the average person really knew the discrepancy in the health care system, there’d be riots in the streets, OK? They would burn this motherfucker down!”

“‘It’s nice to be able to portray an Asian-American on camera without having an accent, or without having to be spoofy. And I think that’s a big step forward, because there are still representations of people that are more comedic. And that’s not what I’m playing. I’m just playing somebody who represents anyone else who would be living in America or outside of it, who is just a regular person.’”

TODAY I APPLIED TO
- manage a bagel shop
- be a zombie
- write an entertainment column
- do a residency at an organic farm
- be a kennel tech at a vet’s office
Which is pretty much all the things in the world I am qualified to do.
Unless there is a job out there which requires singing Queen songs.
