"On Scatterbrain, McIntire addresses the ups and downs of a working comic's life. The bulk of the album is all laughs -- solid material on everything from having kids to the war on terror, killer stuff from one of Boston's most reliable comedy veterans -- but it's the bonus track, the one labeled "Nagasaki," that's getting the most attention. The nearly half-hour track is nothing short of a complete hell gig..."

"If Tim set out to reveal more about himself and be vulnerable on his new CD, Scatterbrain, he succeeded. He pulls off the delicate trick of turning inward without losing his persona. He is still The Reverend. Now, rather than pointing the finger at others, he's pointing it at himself. Instead of looking at obscure news stories and making them universal, he takes something universal, the birth of a child, and makes it his...It's smart and fearless. Mr. Hicks, this is Mr. Cosby."

Keeps the Hot Side Hot, and the Bribed Side Bribed

I don't know if anyone else caught them there YouTube debates, but I did, and I was really impressed by more than one Democratic wannabe. Of course, I tend to get carried away with such things - my friends very kindly never bring up the "Nader Years," kind of the same way you never bring up a buddy's crazy bitch ex-girlfriend.

Anyway, even I think it's important to remember that the politician you see during a campaign really has nothing to do with the politician you're going to have running your country. They've all got advertising and PR people just as slick and sophisticated as any corporation on the globe.

It's like - you know how you see an ad for a Big Mac, and the bun is just perfect, and the meat looks juicy, and the veggies are thick and fresh, and you think to yourself, "Goddamn, I have got to have a Big Mac!" and then you go get one, and it's this beige, squishy thing that tastes like a sponge soaked in lard?

The politician you see during the campaign is the pretty Big Mac.
The politician you'll actually get is the squishy Big Mac.

And that's one to grow on!
