While being under the weather for a few days I got to watch a whole bunch of old Chris Rock HBO specials.
Chris always knocks me out but I think what I really like about his stuff is that it just doesn’t seem to be that political.
In fact the only time Chris seems to bring politics up when he wants to poke fun at all the politicians, otherwise other than Hollywood folks he is mostly into the relationships between men and women with some great insights which sneak up on you because you’re so disarmed from laughing.

The first special must have been from the Monica Lewinsky era because Chris was blaming Hillary for the scandal claiming the first lady’s first job was to be the first one on her knees whenever our President needed a BJ. He also went on to say that had she been taking care of business America would be much better off today.
The next special must have been during the George W era because Chris was talking about how everything in life was already set like if you’re in college and getting A’s, you’re gonna get to run very large corporations. Hell if you’re only getting B’s you’re still gonna get to run stuff like 7 Elevens and Mickey D’s but those of you that get C’s he went on to say will be working for those mother f##kers and you dumb f**ks who only get D’s will get to take out the trash. I get all that but what I don’t get he yells, is how the f**k does a guy who is supposed to be working for all the other mother f##kers and maybe only just taking out the trash get to run the whole f**king Country! As usual he had me on the floor laughing my ass off.

I was really looking forward to watching his next special because it was put together from his appearances all over the world where they somehow they took portions and seamlessly blended them together giving the whole special a very unusual look. He would start a rant about women wearing one suit and finish it wearing a different one and be doing it from another country.
He began by talking about just how difficult it was for a man to live with women and that even Mandela who spent 27 years of his life locked up in prison must have found that easier to do that than live with a woman because he 6 months after he got out he divorced his wife and once again I was on the floor. As I said I really like Chris Rock because he is usually all over the place and even kinda like me claims that he is Conservative about some issues and liberal about others but explains it so much better than I could by saying that he is conservative when it comes to crime but liberal when it comes to prostitution. Next he brings up Obama and I thought to myself … This should be fun I wonder what the hell he’s gonna poke him about. Well Chris didn’t poke him about anything and all of a sudden the whole show turned into a vote for Obama political rally and the only humor he used was to make fun of all the crackers who were gonna be f**ked after Obama’s elected. Can you spell B-O-R-I-N-G and color me GONE.
