Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2003 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.

Last Comic Standing last night was a travesty. Dat's act was immensely less funny than Dave's, yet Dat won the audience's vote, and I cheered. I cheered because he's Asian, the only Asian in the house, and because he had been plotted against by a bunch of cynical older comedians, and because the editing of the show had told me to cheer for him. I found it hard to sit through that one. Fortunately, no one is coercing me to watch.
