Doug Stanhope on Dr. Drew

Ah, yes. Dr. Drew. For those of you that read my Celebrity Rehab recaps from '09-'10, the season with Mikey Starr and the Grandmother of Issues, Mackenzie Phillips, you already know how I feel about him. I think he's exploitative and I also believe at the core of my being that paying for someone to go to rehab is so beyond counter-intuitive that it borders on malpractice. I'll go one further and say that signing someone up for a paid dry-out, which is all CR is, should be against the law, not to mention the perverted nature of this obvious ridiculousness- FILMING IT.

Here's Stanhope's take on it. It's brutal and completely profane. You have been warned.

Doug Stanhope Has No Tickets For Big-Wigs

Love him so much.

Stanhope Breaks It Down

We missed him when he came through town again this past spring. Bummer. I love the way he cuts through the bullshit. Here he is explaining why people allow themselves to get caught up in the fear-mongering waged by news networks.

And shitty late night jokes that render news palatable when they should be seething with rage.

Happy Easter, Kids

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

I went to The Grog Shop to see Doug Stanhope last night and he fucking killed. My stomach is still hurting from all the laughing. Loved the prostitute as scab crossing the picket lines jokes (I can't retell it like he can so I won't even try) and the absurdity of diamond engagement rings. He is an atheist anarchist and he was a sweetheart to me when I asked him to sign the DVD we bought. I highly recommend that you see him if he comes to your city.
