Comedy.com Pranks New Jersey State Senator Frank Lautenberg

This is hilarious.

We here at Comedy.com like to prank people. Specifically, we like to prank politicians. This week we took on New Jersey State Senator Frank Lautenberg. Our blogger, Tony DiGerolamo, posed as Comedy.com friend and spiritual adviser Pastor Dom Moccey. Dom just wants to get his daughter an internship in politics. While internships in the Senator’s office don’t seem particularly difficult to come by, Dom’s daughter has some special needs. Check out our email exchange.

Original Letter: Tony, as the good pastor, introduced himself and his fake daughter in the letter below. She’s the perfect candidate for an internship. She’s smart and politically active. There’s only one drawback if you hire Katey. Sometimes she will call you a b*tch.

Response: Here is the real and earnest response Tony received from the Senator’s office. The life of an intern sounds pretty sweet. Maybe we’ll actually apply.

Our Follow Up: We are completely unable to leave well enough alone. Tony kept the email exchange going with the reply below. Wow, the fake Pastor Moccey’s fake daughter has a lot of problems. Don’t you hate it when you touch the wrong sort of paper and puke? We do.

Pastor Prays For Obama’s Death

The segment clip is part of The Young Turks broadcast. It’s still interesting. Note that the people that say these things never take responsibility for what they say. They always claim, ‘It’s what the Bible or God wants!” Get the fuck out of here with this shit.

10 Things to Know about Iran

Here is an essay talking about the Beliefs of most people when it comes to Iran and the reality that is Iran. Though people have been wrong before. Interesting though.

Belief: Iran is aggressive and has threatened to attack Israel, its neighbors or the U.S.

Belief: Iran is a militarized society bristling with dangerous weapons and a growing threat to world peace.

Belief: Iran has threatened to attack Israel militarily and to “wipe it off the map.”

Belief: But didn’t President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad threaten to “wipe Israel off the map?”

Belief: But aren’t Iranians Holocaust deniers?

Belief: Iran is like North Korea in having an active nuclear weapons program, and is the same sort of threat to the world.

Belief: The West recently discovered a secret Iranian nuclear weapons plant in a mountain near Qom.

Belief: The world should sanction Iran not only because of its nuclear enrichment research program but also because the current regime stole June’s presidential election and brutally repressed the subsequent demonstrations.

Belief: Isn’t the Iranian regime irrational and crazed, so that a doctrine of mutally assured destruction just would not work with them?

Belief: The international community would not have put sanctions on Iran, and would not be so worried, if it were not a gathering nuclear threat.

Governors resist Medicaid Increases

The nation’s governors are emerging as a formidable lobbying force as health-care reform moves through Congress and states overburdened by the recession brace for the daunting prospect of providing coverage to millions of low-income residents.

The legislation the Senate Finance Committee is expected to approve this week calls for the biggest expansion of Medicaid since its creation in 1965. Under the Senate bill and a similar House proposal, a patchwork state-federal insurance program targeted mainly at children, pregnant women and disabled people would effectively become a Medicare for the poor, a health-care safety net for all people with an annual income below $14,404.

WASHINGTON POST

Supreme Court has a busy schedule

Cases involving US gun laws, videos depicting dog-fighting and the presence of a cross in the Mojave desert are among those expected to dominate a fresh session of the US Supreme Court which opens on Monday.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor is a new addition to the nine-member panel, replacing liberal Justice David Souter, who retired.

The court is expected to hand down rulings on the cases it considers in the spring.

Among the cases to watch out for are:

CHALLENGE TO GUN CONTROL LAWS

PRESENCE OF RELIGIOUS SYMBOL ON FEDERAL LAND – Interesting

FREE SPEECH CHALLENGE OVER DOG-FIGHTING VIDEO

CAMPAIGN FINANCE – We’re still dealing with this? If the gov’t wanted it fixed, it would have been done by now. Hell, I wasn’t even born when these REFORMS started.

CHALLENGE TO LIFE SENTENCES FOR JUVENILES

CHALLENGE TO LAW MAKING IT A CRIME TO AID TERROR GROUPS
