On Wednesday, May 4th, I posted at Archive.Org, "If Paintings Of Dead Evil People Could Talk". I also blogged about it. So far, I have only been able to discern that people connected with Bill Maher and also SNL have read it, so I have to feel neglected. It's only half a page, shouldn't take more than an hour or two. Here, I'll give you another link to it (I really want you to read it!):

On the brief (half-page) occupied by this comedy idea of mine, aimed for the May 7th Saturday Night Live (which over the years has usually incorporated pieces contained in my contributions for that week's show, as I have referred to in many previous posts accompanied by what I regard as evidence), I use as a major point of crystallization the idea of Osama bin Laden's catch phrase, "Death to America," reduced, so that the last thing coming from him would be "Death To". In this May 6th videoclip, Bill Maher (whom I have previously blogged as occasionally making references to my material, accompanied by what I regard as evidence of same), in his very first monologue following Osama bin Laden's death, chooses this as the note upon which to end this opening monologue:
One of the things I wished to evoke with my May 4th Osama bin Laden comedy sketch was an image for "America's rear-view mirror," or, well, hmm, an image for "the collective psyche of all humanity," or something along those lines. Which, I don't know, I guess I just always like to keep a connection with that greater totality in mind somehow - and on Saturday Night Live May 7th I believe I may have gotten another one through onto the big board (I am totally outside of my vernacular, I hope I just said what I think I said, and presume forgiveness if not, afterall, what's the worst thing I might have accidentally said?).
Specifically, in my above-referenced May 4th comedy sketch (on one of its levels), I summoned (or "used", depending on how seriously you feel like taking this kind of thing) the graphic image of Osama bin Laden's corpse being in the center of a room, though any potential seriousness to such an idea is pretty much diluted by the very much less intense political chitter-chatter among a social crowd collected together in the same room, who inevitably react to the idea of the Osama bin Laden corpse in their own idiosyncratic, occasionally silly way.
If that description can be fairly regarded as among the several ways to properly characterize my May 4th comedy sketch posting, then it would seem that on May 7th Saturday Night Live once again found a way to include in a comedy sketch my material designated for that night's show:
