What an excellent monologue. I think he had a lot of good things to say. I thought it was so telling when he briefly touched on Anna Nicole Smith's death and people in the audience thought he was going to make a joke (even though he said he wasn't) and they started giggling. How is the death of a 39 year old woman with an infant daugher amusing? How is anybody's death amusing? I didn't find Saddam Hussein's execution funny, and he was totally heinous. Smith was a woman I can't say I ever paid too much attention to, but amusement was not one of the emotions I felt when I read of her death. I guess I was sad in an abstract sort of way, and I feel sorry for that baby. Britney Spears is another woman I simply don't pay attention to. I don't watch TV very often so I wasn't aware that she seems to have lost her way.

Why do some people find laughter in other people's problems, heartaches and troubles? I guess I just don't get it. Are people's lives so jaded and empty that all this s**t is "entertainment"? (pardon my asterisks...)

Anyway, I am going to hop off the soapbox (sorry guys) and go to bed.
