The Revolution Will Be Televised

There is plenty in the world of politics to feel angry about at the moment. Rightly so. However a good release from the tension caused by such anger can be found in comedy. In particular good satirical political comedy.

Last night I struck gold. A new political comedy series is causing waves in the United Kingdom. It is bold and brave and BBC 3's The Revolution Will Be Televised is bound to upset quite a few people.

There is a market for the truth at the moment and this series looks like it will fill that spot. The featured comedians Heydon Prowse and Jolyon Rubinstein have turned the spotlight on money stealing bankers, confused celebrities and hypocritical politicians and I promise that you will laugh as you watch them do so.

Yes, The Revolution Will Be Televised is British. Yes, the series deals specifically with British issues. But the analogies are just the same. Britain like the USA has more than her fair share of super rich tax avoiders, corrupt politicians and money grabbing bankers so we share your pain, America.

Sit down. Relax for a while. And most importantly please don't forget to smile.

What matters to us is the truth

"The chief thing is to have a soul that loves the truth and harbors it where it finds it. And another thing: the truth requires constant repetition, because error is being preached about us all the time, and not only by isolated individuals but by the masses. In newspapers and encyclopedias, in schools and universities, everywhere error rides high and basks in the consciousness of having the majority on its side."-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in a letter to Johann Peter Eckermann, December 16, 1828

POST 1 - CLICK TO READ: Lisa Demer, journalist at the Anchorage Daily News, asked all the right questions about Sarah Palin's pregnancy with Trig, and asked directly for Trig's birth certificate - but was met by stonewalling and insults from Palin's staff
POST 2 - CLICK TO READ: More discoveries in Sarah Palin's released emails: Palin's team wanted to launch "pre-emptive strike" against ADN-story about Palin's pregnancy, was shocked that Lisa Demer tried to put together a "timeline" of Bristol's pregnancies and contacted schools and hospitals

POST 3 - CLICK TO READ: Newly released email suggests that five weeks after Trig's official birth, Sarah Palin didn't have a birth certificate for Trig

- UPDATE: Palin's spokesperson wants to "cut the ADN off" if they continue to ask questions about Trig's birth
