I agree with Karen. California, Oregon, and Washington are all hotbeds of conservative political thinking.

Referring to the west coast states as the “left coast” is in no way accurate.

I really hate it when people refer to it as “the left coast.”

Jacob M: I agree with Gossie21. I don’t think it waters down her points at all that Craker is an idiot. Do you?

gossie21 - If you would pay close attention, the column that Craker responded too was neither liberal nor conservative, and in fact had no politics in it. Eric was talking about why people haven’t gone to see the “war” movies that have come out recently, and then proceeded to joke around about the war movie he would make. You are just as off base as Craker (who I really hope is an African-American, cuz that would just be funny!).

I tend to agree with Mr. Craker. I’m not a big fan of the political humor. Even when Eric did the thanksgiving where he made fun of both sides equally I didn’t find it to be too funny. But I don’t think it’s something that I will quit coming to the site over. I still find Eric’s non-political columns funny.

I do find it somewhat odd at how liberal Eric has become. I used to think he was more conservative than he sounds now. I guess too much living on the left coast and listening to Keith Olbermann will do that to you.

The name(?) “Craker” reminds me of an unfortunate young boy I used to know by the name of “Zoron.” (Yes, it rhymes with “moron.”) Honestly parents, sober up before you name your children!

I, too, would like some reviews of “humor-moves”. I bet that would result in a good pile of laughs.

So, Eric, do you just review slapstick or do you also review unintentional comedy as well?

Also, when did you start reviewing humor moves? A link to one of your reviews may be helpful, as I can’t find them on the site.

Don’t change anything, Eric. Occasionally I disagree with you, but I can still see the humor in what you’re saying. This is your web site, so I give you permission to do what you like with it….

Except Snapshots is kind of annoying (unless you make money from it. Then, continue).

I’m not sure I saw the “politics” in the piece this guy objected to so much. Wasn’t it more of an analysis of why the recent spate of war movies weren’t doing well at the Box Office? But perhaps, as in that episode of “Fawlty Towers,” the order of the day is, “Whatever you do. . .DON’T MENTION THE WAR!”
