We are not jeapordizing their lives, we are working to save many soldiers lives. Iraq is one country on the Hawks list of many. We must stop this new foreign policy of pre-emptive strikes. What a horrible, horrible mistake our president is making.
I realize all of you have the potential to strike me at any time, and that is why I will be administering pre-emptive noogies to one and all. I've got a right to protect myself and I love freedom and puppies and Christmas.

We're at war. The world asked us not to, and now that we've launched up to 40 missiles in an attempt at assasinating Saddham Hussein, we can see how the rest of the world responds. I'm numb. Saddham is such an awful person but the world is full of awful people in power and I think this is a very dangerous way to deal with them. If we want to make ourselves safer from terrorism we should be working to show our support of peace and humane aid throughout the world. The US spends less, percentage wise, on humanitarian aid then any of the other "first world" countries.
I have a sinus infection.
We have to go onstage tommorow despite the fact that most folks will be at home watching the war.
Amber is stranded out of state. Stuck by a big nasty blizzard. Hopefully she gets back in time for the show.
I'm going to try to sleep.
Not much of a comedy blog tonight, sorry.
It'll be interesting to see what kind of world we get to live in.

Here's a letter we recieved along with my response.
Hello Gang, or Subdivision:
I just have a little question. Is your performance in Sacramento
something that a nine year old and a twelve year old could attend,
comfortably, for them, and the rest of the audience? They're both boys,
so they love anything that is crude or rude, they're familiar with Mad,
and the Simpsons, and they know quite a few underground cartoonists,
socially (as social as they can be among their parent's friends).
They've seen at least one of their parents' male friends dressed as a
woman ...
They're that kind of kids!
But let me know, would their attendance be appropriate? Or should I
lock them in the dungeon?
Regards,
name with held but I'll put it in if'n it's ok
and my response:
YAY, The Simpsons!!!! YAY!
Oooh, and Mad magazine is the greatest influence any young mind could ask for, or they were before they started taking ads anyway.
I'll let you decide. The show has a scene with a father daughter sex talk. The talk is clinical and graphic but respectful. I'd much rather have a child of mine get their information on sex this way then from the "Exploit woman while making sure their nipples are covered" style TV shows.
I'll leave it up to you. Other than that the show does have some dark humor, some sex joke delivered by a prostitute promoting her profession, and some "Foul" language. I love the foul language.
I'm guessing the idiots that rate movies would give us an R rating. So long as I know the parents are well informed as to what we're all about I am totally comfortable with kids in the audience.
Ok,
Peace,
KLJ

This is a letter I've sent to the NRA. I'm awaiting a response!
I'm interested in starting a Vegan and Atheist chapter of the NRA. I'm wondering if such is allowed.
Many see these beliefs as disparate, but I am vegan and an Atheist and I feel I have a right to defend myself and my home. I know many atheists, vegans and vegetarians who feel the same.
I feel very strongly that People should decide on their beliefs topic by topic and not just subscribe to some group thought.
I hope you agree. I would love to see more atheist vegans admit that they are pro gun rights.
Thank you for your time,
Keith Lowell Jensen

Two weeks down and two to go before the Sacto run is done. Great crowds on Thursday and Friday this week. Too good on Thursday. Damn, those folks were on drugs or something. I felt like they were almost too easy. Maybe we were just realy on that night, but they'd laugh if we said hello! They'd laugh if we didn't say hello!!! We should pay them to come back every night. Papa Marx used to go out and round up kids to come in and laugh at the Marx Brothers. He'd let them in the show free and then feed them Streudel if they laughed at the gags.My dad doesn't make streudel, but I'm sure his wonderful pizzas would be reward enough for some laugh starters.
Thanks for all the Happy Birthday greetings. Man, I'm sure getting old. Good thing I'm in comedy, one of the few fields that doesn't seem to care if you're not young and pretty. Don't get me wrong, I'm still plenty pretty, but I don't know how long it'll hold out.
So this journal's interestin'. I want it to be an honest record of what this is like, doing these shows, but some honesty has to be saved until the tours over. Politics ya know. Be sure and check these pages when we get back from LA though. We'll have all sorts of tales from the front lines. The front lines of Sac and LA.
LA is shapin' up well. The guy who booked us, Bryan at the Knitting Factory, has been wonderful. He's helpin' get the word out, even going as far as taking flyers and hitting the Ellen Degeneres crowd. She just played The Knitting Factory. A couple of my friends are writing for her now. Pretty exciting. Jeff Cosgrave AKA The Kid, and Karen Anderson AKA my comedy mentor. Both of them are also stand up comedians so watch for their names. They're funny, funny people.
I wrote an article about what it's like to be in a stand up comedy competition and I mention both Karen and Jeff in it. Check it out HERE! The aritcle mentions Francois Fly too. This is the article that lead everyone to believe that Francois and I were one and the same. Nobody believes me when I tell 'em it was all a joke. Oh well.
Ah, blog blog blog blog, such mundane honesty.
Here's a Haiku
Yes I like Haiku
Yes, I have something to say
Go to hell, I'll use as many syllables as I damn well please. Bitch!
Yeah, ok bye
