Happy Labor Day everyone!

The political humor continued at the DNC this week and of course, Angry Seafood is here to point it out.

Before the funny begins, I would like to say congratulations to Barack Obama for being the first African-American to win a party’s Presidential nomination. It truly is historic. I’m not saying I’m going to vote for him or stop making fun of him because that is how I roll.

But not Obama-roll.

Hmm perhaps that delegate is thinking about getting some of that brown sugar. I can’t blame him. I wouldn’t throw Michelle out of bed for eating crackers that is for sure, no pun intended of course. Yah, I know, I went there.

Actually now that I think about it the guy in the lower center seems to be looking in a certain direction as well. The Democrat delegates sure are horndogs.

Well I guess that explains Dennis Kucinich’s behavior the other night at the Democratic National Convention.

I believe the old saying “Do as I say not as I do” applies here.

All the celebrities were out in full force for the DNC including Charlotte Ray, a.k.a. Mrs. Garrett from the 80’s hit television show Facts of Life, who gave an inspiring speech to the delegates of the Democratic National Convention Wednesday.

He had to do it, and I think Clinton has redeemed himself and is ready to reclaim his mantle as the first ‘Black President’.

Democrats are the ‘working’ party‘? They can’t even protest without taking a break.

The Democratic National Convention is under way and there is no lack of political humor or boring pep talks, that is for sure.

At times the first night’s pontificating and chatter was more wordy then a Biden speech, and that was from the MSNBC coddlers alone. But what do you expect from a group of people that suckle at the teat of the Democrats like the children they are.

The DNC kicked off with their traditional convention-opening theme:

Ted Kennedy later arrived and stayed alive long enough to pass the torch from the older, crazy group of politicians to the younger, crazy ones. Obama got all excited about the passing until Michelle pointed out that he wouldn’t be lighting the Olympic Flame in China. Barack’s reply was: “Why, are the Olympics over already?”

Democrats wish Jimmy Carter would finally go away but he simply relishes the ‘Jimmy The Greek’ role of the Party.

Is there anything more insulting then a man from the South calling a black man ‘boy’? I’m sure there is, we just have to wait for Jimmy Carter to say it. On a side note, he looks really creepy lately.

(Video of Carter’s ‘Macaca Moment’ can be seen here.)

How many half-brothers and sisters does this guy have? They must smell Barack’s money. Funny how when you get rich, suddenly you’ve got all these relatives you never knew you had.

If there is a man that knows about New York City real estate and how to get it on the cheap, it is this man Charles Rangel. Unlike John McCain, Rangel only owns four rent-controlled apartments in a luxury building in Harlem. That is what you call a Democratic sacrifice.

Man, if this is how the first thirty-six hours of the Democratic National Convention have gone, I can’t wait for the rest of the week.

Humor-blogs.com is not having a political convention but the funny blogs there are worth the loss.

Beginning Monday, September 8th, the ‘Bloggers Speak’ feature will be changing from bi-weekly to weekly. The interviews will pick up where they left off last, with Sinister Dan from Reasonable Ego up next.

If anyone would like to be interviewed, hit me up on the contact page and I will make it happen.

If you confirm then don’t follow through with the interview, please keep in mind there will be repercussions. This is what happened when a former famous person bailed on a sit-down with Angry Seafood…

The elves are lucky I let the other five reindeer go. There was also a blogger who declined an interview and this is what happened…

Yes, that’s right, actual Vikings went to his house and burned it down. I don’t mess around but you do have to give me points for creativity. That guy might have lost all his possessions but he has a story to tell his grandkids.

Now of course you might be thinking that turning down an interview would be better. It isn’t every day a group of Norsemen come to your neighborhood and burn your house down. Seriously though, that would seem like a huge pain in the ass.

So doing a Bloggers Speak interview does seem like the way to go, and you get exclusive access into the Angry Seafood Private Lounge as well…

It is your choice, angry Vikings with a penchant for arson or the Lounge.

Humor-blogs.com doesn’t have a sex lounge but they do have funny blogs. Go there and don’t forget to give me some smiley love if you’d like. (Free passes to the Lounge if you do)

I love 1980’s musical nostalgia trends as much as the next person but there is no humor in how much of it is coming back. I am not talking about Frank FM playing ‘Cars’ by Gary Numan on a daily basis or ‘Everybody’s Working for the Weekend‘ every Friday at five o’clock (which is the lamest thing ever on radio by the way) but the continual comebacks of bands that should have hung it up already.

Take for example the latest Motley Crue song ‘Saints of Los Angeles‘. It sounds rocking at the beginning …

but it just takes one round of the chorus to make it sound like a filler song off a Dokken or a Ratt album. There’s even a lame attempt at repeating the coolness of the voice-over at the beginning of ‘Shout at the Devil‘. There goes the hair on the back of my neck again.

It gets worse folks.

Foreigner.

Yup they are back too and are currently tied with Whitesnake for most band lineup changes. The 80’s iconic group that produced hits like ‘Urgent‘ and ‘Jukebox Hero’ comes up with the stinker ‘Too Late‘:

This might be as bad as ‘Stay the Night‘ or ‘That was Yesterday‘.

There is no official video for the single by the way. There is some guy’s cell phone camera recording of the band singing the song live and other not-so clear live versions. The Patterson Bigfoot film is easier to watch.

I know that the Crue has a hell of a lot more fans and the original band members but come on. At least rent a camera and record it live.

Wrapping up the lame comeback edition of Rewinding the 80’s is none other then Rick Springfield who was described as looking good in his latest go-around rehashing his love for Jessie:

“…maybe even better than contemporaries Sting and David Bowie.:”

That isn’t much of an achievement, especially when this was Bowie twenty years ago..

Love funny blogs about the eighties? Too bad because you just read the best one on Humor-Blogs.com. But go there anyways because you might find some other humor blogs that give you a chuckle or perhaps a gufaw.

I’ll have something of humor substance later on but until then here’s an appetizer to hold you over….

(The video link for those reading this in feed view)

When I first saw this I thought it might have been a Sopranos parody.

The other night on Spike they played Star Wars episodes III and IV back-to-back which showed how much of an insult the prequels were. I feel bad for anyone who has never seen any of the six films because unless someone tells them otherwise, they will start with Phantom Menace.

Then they will get to Episode IV: A New Hope.

Oh there’s Darth Vader who is really Luke’s father gone bad. There’s Leia, Luke’s sister. There’s Luke who is Vader’s son. There’s Ben Kenobi not even giving the slightest inclination he has seen R2D2 before. There’s Ben telling Luke his father Anakin was dead when he really wasn’t. A part of me expected a shot of Obi-Wan looking at the camera and winking in that scene.

I also don’t remember Obi-Wan ever taking Anakin’s lightsaber at the end of Revenge of the Sith. If the Back to the Future franchise, one that is a tenth as valuable as the Star Wars one had the decency to try and maintain some kind of coherent continuity, what does that say about Lucas?

Now they are going to remake Children of the Corn, the classic horror film from 1984 for the Sci-fi Channel. I still don’t get why they had to re-do BG. They could have done the same concept without riding the coattails of the old show but at least it was well-written with good casting choices as well.

Okay, I will say one thing. The original producer is directing this one from his own screenplay so at least there is an inkling of hope. I have no idea if this means he will stick to the script of the original one or not or if the new version will even be as good, but still I ask why?

Jesus Christ, just remake The Breakfast Club while you are at it. Or Fletch. Or Caddyshack.

I can see it now…

Caddyshack III

Rodney Dangerfield dies at the beginning of the film and two of his employees cart his body around the golf course getting them into one crazy and awkward situation after another. Hilarity ensues.

So…what part of your childhood is being crapped all over these days?

(This is my last new post until like Tuesday or Wednesday. I’m going camping for a few days beginning Friday so talk amongst yourselves.)

I didn’t think it would take less then a week but the first-ever fantasy football league for Humor-Blogs.com is now full.

Well, there is one person that is interested but hasn’t confirmed because they are on vacation. Here is the list of miscreants and deviants that make up the HBFFL:

Myself
Rickey from Riding with Rickey
LOBO from Predator Press
Paula from Paula’s Playground
Renal Failure from Renal Failure
The Hypocritical One from That Tears It
Lincoln from Canucklehead
Thaddeus from Army of Epiphenomenon
Unfinished Person from Unfinished Rambling

Looks like we got a great group of humorists and the trash talk alone should be a lot of fun. See you on the gridiron!
