New Comedy and Satire Book Really Sticks it to the Washington Post!
The Washington Toast

Washington DC – December 11, 2007
New Comedy and Satire Book Really Sticks it to The Washington Post!
The Washington Toast is the funniest thing to come out of Washington Since Congress.
The Washington Toast, a humor and political satire book, makes its official debut today on December 11, 2007. If you haven’t been clued in to what the Toast does, it is a dead-on, straight faced parody of American newspapers. It is beautifully crude and sophomoric in a manner Mad magazine no longer aspires to, and for readers looking for some deathly funny satire in this politically-correct, can’t-we-all-just-get-along, sissified age, it is a lighthouse in a stormy sea.
For those of us who have long desired a good dose of wry and winsome humor The Washington Toast, is a treasure trove of biting satire and clever use of modern language. Somehow the writers manage to tickle our funny bones as they educate and entertain us with their insight and insider’s understanding of the madness we know as politics. In this provocative web site, the writers most often approach the subject at hand via parody. They are almost monotonously brilliant, nearly uniformly informative, and best of all, universally irreverent. This is one web site which might force you to bring your lap top to the rest room folks, for it will have you enjoying life’s most personal moments with tears of laughter as the unavoidable net result.
The editors and writers at the Washington Toast, will routinely attack the most sacred shibboleths and taboos of society, ranging from oil derricks erected on the White House lawn to a sagging Washington monument. From sexism to congressional hearings on defective home surgery kits, and from politics to the dangers of traveling to Atlantic City on a steeply discounted tourist bus. To be sure, the humor that results is by its very nature often tasteless and even a little but crude, so if you have a delicate stomach or a fragile disposition this collection of satiric pieces may not be something you would enjoy. But those of us with a taste for such bawdy fare will read the pieces again and again, until our eye’s bleed and our lap tops begin to smoke. All in all, it’s nice to have all this stuff online and available for instant replay. Enjoy!

No music or fancy effects. This is my first video, and my computer isn’t great so the video gets a little choppy every now and then. I built the Washing Monument in 3/5 Scale in Minecraft. It has to be 3/5th scale due to height limitations in the game. I dug to the bottom of the game and built it from the bottom to the top. Started 11/01/2010 – Finished 11/29/2010 There’s a giant hole in the middle to allow me to jump from the top observation level to get to the ground faster. A pool of water 6 blocks deep prevents the me from dying. I died trying to get to the bottom of the map in this video just to illustrate how deep it was. I used sand every 5 blocks to measure height, and glass at every corner so I can see outside. Every 33 blocks high the building width shrunk by 2 blocks. I also placed doors at every 33 blocks for access. Measurements: Height: 105 Blocks Width: Base – 11 Blocks, 33rd block – 9 Blocks, 66th Block – 7 Blocks Height from Bottom to Observation Level: 100 Blocks Materials used: Cobblestone, Water, Lightstone, Wood Doors, Torches, Glass For my next project I’m going to build the St Louis Arch. My big goal is I’m going to put Minecart tracks inside and have a Minecart automatically push me up and down the arch. I imagine it will take much longer than this one did. Video Rating: 4 / 5
Billy D Washington Killer Comedy From the Smoothest Man in Comedy
“Talent, talented and more talent” is how the CBS news series ’48 hours’ has described Billy D. Washington. Billy D is one national touring headliner you do not want to miss. He has spent years developing his unique style and it shows. His show flows from one hilarious observation to a snappy punch line so smoothly, it is easy to see why he has been called the smoothest man in comedy. He makes the difficult art form of stand up comedy, look easy because he is a master.
He is equality comfortable sitting at a grand piano in a theater, as he is with a single microphone in a smoky comedy club. Billy is a witty, philosophical, piano-playing comedian, who works as a nationally recognized headliner. “It’s weird” Billy muses in a recent newspaper article, “After my shows even though people have laughed their hearts out all night, they ask me why am I not doing something else”?
Billy is not only talented musically, he possesses an incredible ability to create cleverly constructed jokes and improvise obscure audience situations. After an hour of this poetic and intelligent banter, people often wonder why they haven’t heard more of him. He is “funnier than famous” and one of the most sought after comedians in the country, if you don’t believe it…ask Ms. Aretha Franklin.
After opening one of her concerts in November 2000, Aretha was so impressed that she requested Billy to do tour dates from that day forward, he has been the opening act for Aretha Franklin since then.
Billy D was one of the original VH-1 V-jays. In 1998 after several stimulating comedy sets at HBO’s Aspen Comedy Festival, Billy was hired by VH-1 network to host several of their programs. These programs included, The Michael Jackson Music Video Collection, The History of Music Video A-Z and a daily slot hosting the video music show.
Billy has been most recently featured on comedy Central’s Premium Blend and has had numerous television appearances including HBO, Fox, NBC, CBS and Last Comic Standing. He is one of the most sought after comedians in the country for corporate and private functions.
His incredible talent on the key boards and stand up comedy is something you do not want to miss. When Billy D Washington comes to your city make a special effort to get tickets. If you like pure talent you will not be disappointed and his closing bit will send a shiver down your spine.

Its hard to predict whether Dick Gregory will be most celebrated as a path-breaking comedian or a trailblazing civil rights activist. Its impossible to imagine the history of either movement without him—or without his unique blending of the two. In the early 1960s, he became one of the first black comedians to perform before integrated audiences. In 1967, he ran for mayor of Chicago against Richard J. Daley, and a year later for president as the Freedom and Peace Party candidate. The author of and contributor to many politically charged books, Gregory is still a staunch, wry political voice across a range of issues as varied as nutrition, social justice, and the environment. Chicago Sun-Times columnist Laura Washington interviews the provocative and always unpredictable Gregory.
