DU at the DNC: Thursday afternoon update!

48. a little aside about Darrell Hammond

I spotted his autobiography at the library and picked it up on a whim--I was gobsmacked. He was really, and admirably, honest and open and it took a lot of courage to write it.

I loved him on SNL and thought it would be a funny book but oh, my gosh, what that guy has endured in his life is hard to even imagine. How he managed to be funny for a living... well, I won't spoil the book, I'll simply recommend it. Just don't read it when you're in the mood for a giggle.

On a lighter note, I'm envious of your Chris Matthews autograph. I've always gotten a kick out of him and his enthusiasm, even when he made me want to scream, but he's been especially awesome lately.
