Well, He Did It. And He Did It Extremely Well.
Last night I remembered how awesome it is that my dad is Brian Williams. I could not be prouder to share genes, a last name, love for SNL, and many other things with him.

Palin on SNL: What Did You Expect?
What did some of you people actually think would happen with Palin on SNL? Saturday Night Live is a comedy show. It's not Meet the Press.
The Winners and Losers of Campaign '08
Winners: The Davids - Axelrod and Plouffe: they spearheaded a near flawless campaign. Katie Couric: her multi-part interview with Sarah Palin was the turning point in how the country saw Palin -- and by extension John McCain. And she did it in a way that left no room for accusations of being unfair or playing "Gotcha!" Michelle Obama: smarts, grace, style, charm, and a serious "good mommy" vibe -- she's got the whole package. Losers: Joe Lieberman: failed to deliver Democrats, independents, or Jews. And on the way to losing his committee chairmanships. Liddy Dole: her "Godless" ad will be taught in What Not To Do poli sci classes for a century. Joe the Plumber: the clock just hit 15 minutes, and the wakeup call will not be pleasant.

Seder In Studio 8H
It probably never would have happened had it not been for the fact that we were trapped in Studio 8H for camera blocking for hours on end which was business as usual.
Reading The Pictures: Make Up Sex Meets Identity Politics
SNL not only provided HRC the opportunity to rebut a parody debate slamming the network for supposedly slandering the candidate in its real-life debate, but then submitted the candidate's parody self for her review.
Traveling Home for the Holidays
While traveling over the past few months, I have had my toothbrush case opened and toothbrush carefully inspected. As if I would use it again after those dirty gloves had touched the bristles!

Obama Is Dominating in the Polls, but Four Things Keep Me Awake at Night
As a lifelong Democrat who has seen my party lose winnable races, I can't help thinking about how things can go wrong this year. These are the four factors that keep me up at night.
Note to SNL: Black People Are Funny, Too
Screwing black cast members is an SNL tradition, from putting Garret Morris in drag, to pissing off Eddie Murphy, to letting Chris Rock ride the bench.
Saturday Night Live to Sue Newt Gingrich For Slander
SNL Executive Producer, Lorne Michaels said the show is seriously considering a counter suit claiming that Gingrich has "slandered the SNL brand causing it great loss of future income."
McCain "Kills" on SNL
McCain demonstrated that he and his campaign could have a terrific sense of humor when the chip were down. He appeared incredibly relaxed, wonderfully self-effacing and winning.
My Dad on SNL
I may be biased, but I find my dad to be one of the funniest people I've ever encountered. His sense of humor is dry, clean and smart; everything you would not expect from a traditional Network Newscaster.
Interview with Ali Davis, Porn Clerk, Screenwriter, Improv Comedian
Ali Davis is funny in many formats, but like far too many women comedians and comedy writers, not nearly as famous as she should be.

My post about the first and genuine, flute-wielding woman candidate: me!
http://www.opednews.com/articles/Living-the-Skit-I-am-Tina-by-Kimberly-Wilder-081007-884.html
My name is Kimberly Wilder. I am a Green Party member who has run for office inside my party to try (unsuccessfully) to win the nomination for Lieutenant Governor, and in the regular election as a write-in for various offices, and on the ballot for Suffolk County Legislator.
I know that I am not as funny as Tina Fey. And, I hope that I am not much like Sarah Palin, since: I believe in women's reproductive rights; my energy plan does not include nuclear power or drilling in the ANWAR; and I believe in non-violence so much I am against the War in Iraq and the War in Afghanistan. So, I cannot claim too much similarity to either woman.
Though, when Tina Fey puts on her Sarah Palin persona, somehow, there I am in the middle of things. (rest of the story at OpEd news)
