Where would we be without that purveyor of truth and tolerance, the education system? What must it be like to be so concerned about children that you can begin to dictate what they are allowed to eat at school and, more importantly, at home?

I bought some Frosted Flakes the other day and failed to notice they came with a 1/3 less sugar. Let me make this crystal clear. There is only one reason why I buy Frosted Flakes...FOR THE FROSTED!! If I wanted Frosted Flakes with the sugar removed I would have bought Wheaties!

My wife tells me the ...   more »

Well it's official. New Christian Voices has completely lost its mind! They just invited me to do a weekly column offering my take on this extremely difficult and sometimes frustrating journey known as Christianity.

Though humbled, I seriously need to evaluate or lack thereof an editor that would trust me, to inform and enlighten fellow believers. Hey guys, have you ever heard of prayer and waiting on the still small voice of God before hiring the loud, unorthodox voice of brad?

Kinda like embracing the proverbial bull in a china shop. No, that would be too easy. This is not ...   more »

This is the most difficult concept for a human to integrate into their worldview. "When what I believe conflicts with what is true, I change what I believe". Seems rational enough doesn't it? What idiot wold continue to believe something they have been shown is untrue or at the very least suspect.

Yet this is the main concept being examined in the new docu-omedy film by Ben Stein " Expelled". It explores the arguments between neo-Darwinist evolutionary theory and Intelligent Design. What I love about the film is its main premise is not trying to prove I.D. as much as ...   more »

I have complained about the lack of turn signals being used in America in one of my DVD's awhile back. (Which one I'm unsure of as believe it or not I forget half the stuff I do on an old album cause I'm always working on a new one.)

I was really flabbergasted though as people even began stopping in the middle of the road to go left or right w/o a signal. ( probably to make it more difficult to know which direction your going to yell at them in time?) But the other day I figured out what ...   more »

Once upon a time there was a comedian named Bra..er...Bert. He was told by his management and agents and bookeeper and lawn care maintainence specialist and others even less crucial in his life that in order to be a proffessional comedian with a proffessional website and have fans respect and adore him he must actively keep a blog going at all times or he will look like a non-professional comedian that doesn't care about his people and they will turn on him and lash out and send him nasty notes and demand locks of his hair in order to do ...   more »

Many of you who have my albums,( that's right...ALBUMS , I'm old school baby) may have noticed I took time in 2 of them to rant about Christmas. Not the holiday so much as the word. I don't need to beat that dead horse about the removal of the word from stores , schools, and even our own mouths , as that truth is self evident.

What I did want to comment on was the irony that in the desire to be inclusive, our social community became the opposite. First we must explore which Holidays were being left out of the December celebration? There ...   more »

Well Halloween's over. How I'm going to miss that festive holiday. Sure I know, Thanksgivings coming and then Christmas, but nothing seems to get me in a festive mood more than headstones, spiders, and the undead.

I don't mind kids having a night of costumes and candy extortion, but when did the entire month of October become a tribute to Halloween. Our neighborhood had Halloween decorations up the entire month! A months worth of decorations used to be reserved for Christmas only, and why not? Beautiful lights hung on homes, wreaths and Poinsettias, Christmas music wafting through the ethers.

Hey folks I have been out of the loop for a few weeks. I know what your thinking, I was on some spiritual fast/prayer designed to bring me to an even deeper understanding of God and the world around me. Actually ...no. I had surgery 3 weeks ago.

My first time under the knife. The culprit? The disdain of all travellers for years....HEMMORHOIDS! 3 nasty, huge thrombosed (full of blood) butt DEMONS.

I was told by my surgeon that they were the worse case she has had this year. Beautiful! That's what I was shooting for. Folks let me make ...   more »

I opened my Fox news mainpage to see what was fair and balanced in America today and was shocked to find out Lindsey Lohan has a substance abuse problem. When I say shocked I mean of course from the Latin "kindofias obviousage".

Lindsey is suffering ,so says the article, from the hollywood stars who have taken her under their well pharmaceuticaled wings, and taught her the ropes when it comes to using illegal substances all the while getting a photo op and a 3 picture deal.

I feel sorry for someone so young getting trapped by their immaturity into a ...   more »

One habit I have noticed from my fellow tribesman is the line they use often after a positive moment occurs in their life. Ex: "Look your tax return payed you money;Yeah,God is good!" Now I too believe that God is good but why do we say that line only after something "good" happens? Isn't God good no matter what occurs in our life? Shouldn't we be consistent in saying after we here someone backed into our car "Hey, God is good".

Oftentimes we interpret "good" things as only being what we believe to be positive in our lives. Yet the truth is that ...   more »

On June 23rd and 24th I will be taping a comedy concert with 3 other excellent comedians. They all are in mainstream..Jeff Allen, Ron Pearson and Anthony Griffin. We all also happen to be christians.

It is called the Apostles of Comedy and is in the vein of the Blue Collar Tour movies.We will do comedy sets and then have a round table discussion to explore how our faith influences our comedy as well as "getting real" about our flaws, failures, and a transparency rarely seen in a "christian" project

Our goal is to define ourselves to America as opposed ...   more »

Recently in a poll conducted by the Internation Herald Tribune a startling fact has surfaced, France hates itself. In a European poll 44% of French people had a negative view of themselves. This in comparison to the 38% of Americans who think badly about them.

France has become an international punchline when Germany thinks the most highly of them of all European nations polled ;and that's simply because they were the easiest country for Germany to occupy. Remember, Frances contribution to sports is the bicycle race. Bicycles!, you know, so they could practice running away.

In my first album I ...   more »

Hey, I just returned from the T.V. correspondents dinner in D.C. I was invited by my new friend John Donvan who has done 2 Nightline pieces on me. It was weird too be dining with George W. and his wife. It was the first time I have ever been in the same room with a president of the United States AND come to find out, it's the first time a president has been in the same room as me.

I believe he was less impressed. I ran into Jon Voight, Geraldo Rivera, Bill O'reilly, Wolf Blitzer, Brian Wilson, Nancy Pelosi, ...   more »

Godmen 2 is over! It seems to have been an amazing event and the guys in attendance were blown away. We had Good Morning America there as well as Niteline. I will be on Good Morning America this Thurs morning so tune in. We are also getting ready to launch this nationwide so hope to see you all there ( if your a guy) in the future. We'll have pictures up on our site Godmen.org soon. Later, brad

One of the easiest phrases to roll off the tongue of an American is when speaking of our "rights". I have the "right" to freedom of speech based on the 1st amendment. I have the "right" to pursue life , liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I have the "right" to believe in whatever God I choose ; or no God at all. I have the "right" to disagree with the decisions my government makes without fear of reprisal and the "right" to get rid of them if I think they're doing a bad job. I have the "right" to own ...   more »

Blogs are dangerous in my opinion. Not dangerous because of their content, but dangerous because their content doesn't have to be accurate.

The internet with all of its value of giving people access to a whole world of people and information , has also given us acces to child pornography, how to make terrorists weapons, and free access to the dark side of humanity.

Last time we talked I mentioned some "challenges" I was facing based on some misleading information that a major newspaper had printed under the guise of un-biased "news". I am used to being insulted and attacked over ...   more »

I never wanted to be in  ministry. Something about the second hand Impala and trying to stay hip to what the kids are watching didn't appeal to me. What I always wanted to be was a comedian.

Being a comedian was something I was familiar with, it was safe , easy,(except for the travel and Shoneys being offered as my church meal) and was more or less w/o too many distractions. Doing comedy is fun, doing ministry is hard and time consuming.

I don't want to be in ministry. One of the things I did begin to notice was whenever ...   more »

As Christmas 06 nears and a new year is about to unfold, let me take a sec to speak from my heart. I would like to start with a confession that may startle some of you, ready? ...I'm not perfect. Most of the time whenever I try to accomplish something, whether it's a new comedy routine , or making different behavior choices, or whatever, I always feel rather incompetent. The only thing I know for certain is I want to do the right thing. I want to be valuable and encouraging to others, and I want to live my faith ...   more »

Something one must always be aware of is when speaking to the media is that oftentime you are characterized not by what you are but by how others perceive you. I am preparing for our first Godmen event and in the midst of this an article was written on it in the Tennessean newspaper.

The title of the story was " Spritual event wants Godmen not girlymen". First let it be forever recorded in the annals of history that I have never used the word "girlyman" in my entire life.Nor do I believe that men come in one type package. ...   more »

As Sep11 anniversery approaches we have an interesting turn of events when it comes to who is to "blame". It seems ABC is about to release a movie entitled " The Path to 9/11". In it the Clinton administration is lambasted for its ineffectual response to what appeared to be a oncoming terrorist operation. What is interesting is that Madeline Albright and others within said administration have sent scathing letters demanding editing and or retractions since the movie seems to place blame squarely on the lap of those in position to defend America at the time.

I am a sexist. By that I mean that I believe the two sexes ( or are there more, I can't keep up with the latest adjustments to what used to be called common sense) are not only different but have innate aspects of their gender that makes each superior to the other in some areas.

For example, men are stronger and faster than women. Always have been, always will be.You would have to be a tenured professor at Berkley to be unable to grasp that comment but remember we live in a country where many believe that WHAT you ...   more »

Watching different liberal media-ites in books and news shows recently I have come to hear of a conspiricy of which I was unaware. Apparently the "Religious Right" ( a disparaging term that is supposed to garner fear akin to the word gestapo) is trying to "take over the country".Since the only concept I deal with is truth let us first make it clear when the term "Religious Right" is used( which should conceivably include any and all "religious" people in America that have a conservative POV) what they actually mean is of course Christians.

For example I heard Howard Stern interviewed and ...   more »

Having your own website where people can contact you and ask questions is real irritating to me. Not because I don't like to engage in dialogue...I love too. It's just that I have been trained as a stand-up comic for 18 years now. Where I am good , really good if I say so myself is being able to talk to people of dissenting views using real words coming out of my real mouth.

Last night a profile piece aired on ABC Nightline about me and my desire to mainstream middle American thought. ( conservative politically , usually Christian , ...   more »

Today is May 1st and apparently not only is that a celebration of the communist parties international workers day , it's also been chosen to represent the day where illegal immigrants want to prove how badly this country needs them. As a conservative there is plenty of fodder available to mock the concept that only a Ted Kennedy would find reasonable , and that is our founding fathers dying wish that one day people not citizens of this nation would be protected by our constitution as though they were .

Once again we have the liberal thought which argues that ...   more »

I have said on many occasions that I don't believe in evolution. Mainly because the premise of evolution is that life is meaningless. Consequently every scientist that makes a declaritive statement that evolution is true , is presuming that truth not only is real  but also has value, which in a meaningless world is a self defeating idea. But there is an evolution that I do believe in which is the self imposed evolution of the mind. In other words I am always trying to become more advanced than I was the day before.

That being said I just returned from Hollywood working ...   more »

One of the great pleasures of my life has been to make fun of the "Hollywood" set. Saying or doing politically incorrect things was fun simply because apparently it causes them internal organ damage. How the idea of being politically correct ever took hold in the first place is beyond me.First off , any concept that admits that it does something for the sake of garnering votes ( politically ) as opposed to dealing with rationale , common sense and the truth is an ideology of the damned. To be trapped in a worldview that is so oppresive one must acuiesce to the ...   more »

Nobody goes looking for enemies unless it's in the form of a commercial where "White Blast" toothpaste wants to wipeout plaque.Being a conservative comedian it was actually a little amazing to me how little flak I was taking from reviews on my DVD projects. I actually began to believe that maybe liberals were actually living up to their name and allowing my antithetical POV to be given access to the table of ideas. Ah yes to dream. With my new book coming out in March I got a little taste of what "open-mindedness" looks like in the hands of a ...   more »

Probably the trickiest thing to being allegedly Americas "Conservative and or Christian" comedian ( the moniker-s being utilized as either a genre or a slam depending on your political/religious affiliation) is that even though I am both, it's important to me to seperate the two. In other words Jesus isn't a republican and I consider myself a "values driven" conservative as opposed to a specific political affiliation. That being said I DO cater to those two segments of society when doing my comedy since they are the ones I relate too. (The fact that both those groups happen to also ...   more »

Why is it that no matter how many experiments are conducted, no matter how much money is spent or government grants given, the only species that seems to benefit from experimentation on diseases is ...rats. I guess mice count too but lets be honest, as far as a species goes they're both in the running for least admired living creature so whats the dif?

Whats so funny about deaf people? In my latest DVD "Tolerate This" I speak of desiring a country where we can laugh at deaf people again. But what do I mean by that? I have been around a number of deaf people in my life and one of the things I noticed was a sense of  confidence they all seemed to posses. Confidence that could almost be perceived as cocky.What I came to realize was so many of us "un-handicapped" often suffer with a sense of pity for the handicapped based on our apparent superiority to them.
