We need a major reduction in numbers anyway.

Nah, we need more people.  More people = higher GDP.  We can squeeze more people onto this planet.  Reclaim more land from the oceans.  Make it so that every city has Hong Kong's level of density.  Dig deeper into the ground.  Taller buildings.  Buildings all over the place.  We need more people. 

Why would you want more competition for resources?

I will be scared for me, my friends and my family. But I will not fear for the species.

Yeah, we could use a little housekeeping.

BTW, Mono, you're not exactly doing your part if you want more people.  :P

SNL clips I saw from this weekend were pretty bad*but I did like the one part where they said "What sort of person travels to both Texas and Africa?" :D

*for a comedienne, Silverman sure was a dud.

Standards and Practices were probably all over that.

Most female comedians are not funny.

This is true for most male comedians, too, but given that there are several times more male comedians than there are female ones, but shows try to maintain gender parity, we end up with many more unfunny female comedians in the spotlight.

Most of my favorite comedians are women.

Any idea if this has made it's way to China/India?
None, though there's a massive outbreak of Dengue Fever in China apparently.

Ebola spreading to India is more likely I think. Much larger, dirtier slums with less government control.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Lisa Lampanelli would suck Martinus up into her v**ina, fold him like a paper football, and spit him back out.

Fey and Poehler are the funniest in your list and they're upstaged on their own shows.

Definitely some funny actresses there, but I'd dispute whether some are actually comedians.
