Rise If You Must

(via spiers)

HA!

I’m on the host committee for this thing, so you’d better come.

Date: Thursday, October 23, 2008 

Time: 7:00 PM - 10:30 PM

Address: The Cabanas at The Maritime Hotel 88 Ninth Avenue at 17th Street New York, NY 10011 

Here’s what’s happening:

“If you believe that every Internet user should have the right to freedom of speech without gatekeepers; if you believe that every person should have access to fast, affordable, open Internet ­then join hosts Kathryn Tucker, John Johnson and Tim Wu at Free Press’s 1st Annual Internet Freedom Bash.”

Eat, drink, dance, and join others like you who care about the future of the Internet and the future of our media.”

Tickets will run you 50 bones. I know that’s a bit steep but click here to buy a ticket anyway.

I’m all for it, save the Kayne sunglasses.

Comedy Central should develop a Mad Money-esque finance show to accompany The Daily Show and Colbert Report, and it should be hosted by Rob Corddry.

Pitch it!

It should be hosted by John Carney, and he should be drinking from a handle of whiskey the whole time.  In the opening credits, he will wear a suit with his trademark blue skull tie, giant dollar-sign bling, Kanye sunglasses, and a feather boa as he dances with buxom Botoxed blondes dressed as Fox Business anchors.
