If you watched the mid-week edition of Saturday Night Live (SNL) last evening, you saw a different type of episode than those that aired previously.  Not only was it far less funny this time around, but I thought the critical humor was very imbalanced and not as well executed as in previous episodes (i.e. Seth Meyers couldn’t seem to spit out his “Weekend Update” lines without stumbling).

Now we all know that many of the comedians on SNL are no fans of Republicans or Mr. McCain (I can’t even say that I am either lately), but they were so heavy handed in their criticisms of Senator John McCain (using “Joe the Plumber” and “Crazy Lady” references ad nauseam) and so light with their “jabs” at Barrack Obama that it smacked of complete bias and utter desperation.  What better way to smear a candidate during prime time than with laughter mixed with a truckload of derision?  

Could this mean that McCain’s more aggressive stance in the third and last debate (Dick Morris says McCain finally “drew blood“) may have actually ruffled some feathers with liberals and caused a scare in the Obama camp?  I suspect so. Some recent polls seem to point that way today.  Time will tell as we move towards a very important upcoming Election Day.

UPDATE:  Isn’t it an incredible irony that tonight’s episode of SNL (hosted by Josh Brolin of “W.” fame) will likely get a huge ratings bump with the appearance of their most-mocked political figure, Sarah Palin?

UPDATE 2:  Yup, SNL received a huge ratings bump.  In fact, it was their best since 1994.  Well, ain’t that interesting.

On a completely separate note, I just read  this article by Joel McDurmon at American Vision and I think it is absolutely a “must read” for all concerned Americans.  Part 2 of this article, named  ”Planks We Walk to Our Doom“, is scheduled to be released tomorrow (Saturday) and I’ll post a link to it here once it is available.

UPDATE:  As promised, a link to part 2 of the article  ”Planks We Walk to Our Doom” can be found here.  Have a great week.
