The Comical Heathen S2 E3: Dennis Blair

Show notes:

This episode of the Comical Heathen features my interview with Dennis Blair.  We discuss his early career opening for the likes of Rodney Dangerfield, Joan Rivers, and George Carlin as well as his thoughts on the dangers of doing satire while working the road.  This episode includes my rant about politicians and preachers who claim (with a straight face) that "God" (Jesus, Moses, etc...) "wrote the constitution"!!!  With my guest cohost John Hensler, we talk about how this is an example of the logical fallacy known as "argument from authority."  This episode includes a special call-in complaint from "Mad" Marv Conner of the Trillion Dollar Dreadful satire news site.
