If you've gotta have a Baldwin, it's gotta be Alec.

Browncoats might vote for Jayne Cobb Adam instead, although he isn't one of those Baldwins.
I'll agree with you if we're limited to that set though!


ah shame on me for shunning the Hero of Canton. Fair enough, Adam can come too.

It's featured on the front page of Yahoo. But maybe only here in America.

Some people have to be more of an adult than all of us put together before they can have the luxury of becoming children.

Not the first time he's done a Tracy Morgan impression: http://videosift.com/video/Alec-Baldwin-on-Tracy-Morgan-and-Kim-Jong-il

"He's a man-child"
I heard an interview with Tracy Morgan on NPR where he described the time he came home and found his bed-ridden father on the ground floor of their apartment building, in winter, with bare feet, and Tracy Morgan had to carry him like a child up 6 flights of stairs to their apartment, because his father was senile and too confused to know what was going on.
After telling that story on air, he broke down in tears because it was too much for him to talk about.

Quite true of all comedians in general. They tend to have a great insight into humanity, politicians, social issues, and even the biggest of questions such as religion, love, and almost all philosophical domains.

It stems in almost every case from the hardships they have had pressed upon them and their underlying conditions that allow an understanding that binds the perceptions of reality upon their mind an already learned, or easily empathized, lesson that can easily be learned and overcome. As to why they become masters of laughter due to their doomed pasts, I'm not entirely sure. (I know they would be able to empathize a great deal better than others; perhaps due to their depressive states their minds have given them easily attained "happy comebacks" to depressive thoughts in their own minds--partial guess only though...)

Comedians tend to offer a quick way to look at an issue with contrast, so much so that it may make you uncomfortable. But, the key thing a comedian does is that they give you a phrase (the punchline) that allows your mind to mentally take control of the topic of discussion allowing you to beat it, easily.

From there, psychologically it's still a little shady, but it seems to stay in line with what I said. Of course there are other ways to make us laugh, but it typically tends to lend credence to the fact that you have mastered or conquered something, mentally, which has a profound affect over us. Fear is also another area where this crops up and maybe for the same reason.

Great comedians one and all seem to all have a dark past or hardships; but their ability to empathize seems to be a strong core attribute. If anyone knows of a good book on the topic: comedians and their past versus the psychological reasoning as to why they are so good at what they do; please, leave a comment with a link to the book or the name of it.

Love the idiot who starts giving Alec a definition of what the federal reserve is, right after he's clearly demonstrated he knows exactly what the fed is. And the guy doesn't stop after Alec tells him once "I know what the fed is, what I don't know is how shutting down the fed affects capital markets in this country" ... the annoying idiot with a mic just goes back into his goddamn narcissistic routine of explaining it. I think it's the same guy at the end trying to cram his worldview into a new binary paradigm (asking him to "endorse ending the fed" even though Alec has just stated three times he doesn't see why it'd be a good thing... asking him to confirm support for Ron Paul, which is kind of an obnoxious question if you're talking to Alec Baldwin). FUCK THAT GUY.

I'm sympathetic but I think many many of the actual OWS protesters are, at best, little wannabe dictators. And: Grassroots movement, MY DICK.

Good for you, Alec. He did very well.

@Sagemind, I don't think your description is accurate.

This would be more accurate.

Alec Baldwin showed up Tuesday night at Occupy Wall Street and was pursued and pestered by Ron Paul supporters about Ending the Federal Reserve Banking System.

Too bad it wasn't much more.

I learned this from the movie, "The Edge" with Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin...

"Did you know you can make fire from ice? You can make fire from ice. Hello? I'm talking to you... do you know how that would be done?"
