If we are building a fence, howzabout along the Mason/Dixon. Will that border do?

Sounds good. Thank God I’m south of it.

Oh, and don’t forget the jelly donuts, eh.

JohnGalt23 on April 9, 2009 at 11:36 PM

Jelly donut comin’ eh!

Why do I have the sudden urge to watch Canadian Bacon?

Dr.Cwac.Cwac on April 9, 2009 at 9:47 PM

I much prefer to watch Strange Brew…hilarious!

Take off eh, you hoser!

;)

Michelle Malkin should work w/Crowder and bring back Hot Air Vent.

If Vent returns on a regular basis I’ll start donating to the site.

DUDE… That is an awsome idea. Vent is what attracted me here wayyyy back when the gang made those vids. I say hire those guys on by stealing zo away from the PJs and setup a subscription service and see the signitories line up. I HATE paying for stuff online but Im there.

At least get some sweet christmas specials lined up and then sit back and wallow in cash as the advertisers throw money at yas.

Bingo.

Best part was when the French guy surrendered too. Expected, but always funny.

Guys, I don’t want to ruin this dude’s career or anything, but … I feel obliged to mention that David Frum’s a big fan. Sorry, Crowder!

Maybe it’s true that you can reform the mentally ill.

Is it just me, or does Obama seem more concerned about his personal popularity than he does America’s reputation?

JohnJ on April 9, 2009 at 9:30 PM

Yes. Yes he does.

This guy needs to replace Jon Stewart.

Let’s get his audience numbers up!

Obama’s remaks aren’t bad in context. It was basically “sometimes America is arrogant, sometimes Europe is arrogant.”

Well yeah.

He was pointing to his junk when he said “Let me know”.

You know it. I know it.

I was thinking the same thing… just not in those terms. I think he meant to, like, superimpose an e-mail address or something, or forgot that not everyone watches these on the YouTube site itself.

It wasn’t one of his stringest efforts.

Silly me.

The fact is that Vents were pioneering but wa-a-a-a-a-a-ay ahead of their time; you can easily see the Vent influence in Zo and Crowder. Technically the Vents were much more professional looking and sounding compared to Zo or Crowder, but they all share a similar vibe.

Not that you asked for my armchair analysis but I believe that Vents are gone forever. HotAir.com has definitely evolved from what it was initially. Michelle was always the gold standard for Vents but they were not produced by her turning on a video camera in the spare room and freestylin’ in front of blanket. She has neither the time nor technical crew to put together a Vent video per week now. Zo would be good for a Vent but is financially tied to PJTV so that’s not an option. Crowder could be the best chance for a relaunch of the Vent but why? HotAir.com isn’t known for weekly Vents to anyone other than us Day One types, Crowder is already getting plenty of views for his videos from the weekly Allah linkage, and enjoys complete editorial autonomy on all of his videos. There would have to be some financial incentive for Crowder to produce some exclusive HotAir.com content because that would be, as Blago might say, a “f–kin’ valuable thing.”

Crowder’s talented that’s for certain. I say as long as Crowder keeps bringing the funny every week and Allah keeps linking to him, we should support him.

He is no Gordon Sinclair

Thanks for the link to that speech! If other commentators here did not go check that speech out, I recommend you do. That was amazing!

Guys, I don’t want to ruin this dude’s career or anything, but … I feel obliged to mention that David Frum’s a big fan.

I hear Frum likes oxygen too, but I’m not going to give up breathing.

Let me take this opportunity to dispell the rumor that I am David Frum by stating emphatically that this dude is NOT FUNNY.

He’s ok. But he overdoes it in my view.
