My very first of many diary entries is dedicated to my new hero, comic David Feldman. He's a combination of comic genius and clear-thinking liberal. What could possibly be better than that?
On June 18th, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson had guest comic David Feldman on. I'd never heard of him before, but he made the following quip that struck a resounding chord with me:
What's the difference between Democrats and Republicans? Democrats remind us that life is unfair, and Republicans make sure it is.
I immediately made it my favorite quotation on Facebook. From time to time, some of my liberal Facebook friends have complimented me on it, and that happened again just today. So I decided to look up David Feldman, hoping to become one of his Facebook fans and/or join a fan group. Not finding one, I decided to Google him.
I came across a recent audio commentary of his. Listening to it was the very best 15 minutes I had spent all week, perhaps all month. I proudly shared the link with all my Facebook friends, subscribed to his newsletter, and decided to get involved with DailyKos, which I'm hereby doing.
David Feldman is truly an inspiration to me, and he's my new hero.
