Well Done Comedy
On Monday night, comedian and host of the Late Show Craig Ferguson did his stand up monologue. In it, he mentions he celebrated his 15 years being sober at the same time as Britney Spears was shaving her head in an apparent meltdown. He doesn't defend her actions and does ridicule her but draws parallels to his destructive behaviours. He also mentions that he doesn't enjoy taking pot shots at people who are obviously suffering; pot shots should be saved for blow hards and the pompous. It's an interesting, amusing and thoughtful monologue. If you are interested, watch it here.

That was an amazing monologue. Having stumbld through the field of being an alcoholic, and having a wife who's father killed himself because of alcohol (and mental illness), his speech was refreshing and tells you just what kind of man Craig Ferguson is. He deserves much more praise in his field than a Leno or Carson.
