Politically Incorrect Theater in San Francisco

Susan and I just enjoyed a different sort of San Francisco comedy act. While we both felt the first half of Will Franken's show was excruciatingly unfunny, we did have some great laughs during the second half of the show. To borrow a write-up from a San Francisco Chronicle opinion writer, Cinnamon Stillwell, the show touched on the following:

• The flying imams
  
• Woven "anti-war scarves" (keffiyehs) from Urban Outfitters
  
• The cult of "celebrating diversity"
  
• The inspired silliness of the Burning Man festival
  
• San Francisco activists "counter-protesting" Christians in Golden Gate Park
  
• The never-ending obsession with the 1960s
  
• Marketing to the LGBT community
  
• The self-indulgence of therapy culture
  
• "The Final Broadcast of the Christian Faith" (a cautionary tale)
  
• Bush Derangement Syndrome (otherwise known as BDS)
  
• The left's irrational hatred of Israel (otherwise known as IDS)
  
• Using the Crusades to justify Islamist terrorism
  
• Modern-day moral relativism and its intellectual underpinnings(Foucault, Derrida)
  
• The Danish cartoon controversy and the "bravery" of mocking Christianity
  
• Everyone's favorite "political prisoner," cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal
  
• PC-ism running amok at our airports, to the point where a man clutching box cutters and a Koran, and wearing a ski mask, keffiyeh and suicide belt while asking for seat-belt extensions for no apparent reason, is waved cheerfully onto a plane

Best part of the show: knowing that so many members of the San Francisco audience were blissfully unaware that they were the source of Will's parodies.
