In her column yesterday, C.J. said comedian Lizz Winstead (sister to Bloomington mayor, Gene Winstead) "is bringing the satirical live weekly show she co-hosts and produces, "Wake Up World" -- online at shoot themessengernyc.com -- here for three shows during the Republican National Convention."

I'm very excited. We will be talking much about the convention," she said. "After the shows, we're going to all watch the convention together as a group, hold hands and not be afraid. I am looking forward to being able to respond to the convention through the satirical sketches we do. We are helping to create a cathartic experience for people who love the truth and humor."

Lizz also expects Jon Stewart, of "The Daily Show," which she co-created, to come to town along with Stephen Colbert, of "The Colbert Report." And she's going to try to make sure I meet Arianna Huffington, of huffingtonpost.com, to which Lizz is a contributor.

Lizz is a Democrat (Gene, a Republican), so it might be interesting to see how she portrays the convention, and if she comes up with anything original to make fun of us about, or of it's just more of the same. I like Jon Stewart, and if she co-created the Daily Show (I haven't seen Wake Up World) it may be along those lines--and very well could be funny.
