About: With a sharp, sarcastic tongue and a wit that goes unmatched, Michael Hayne blends clever observations with social commentary and is never boring. He is the cure for the safe, politically correct garbage that has been infecting comedy like a contagious and fatal disease.
Michael Hayne truly cultivated his deeply disdainful distrust (how's that for alliteration?) for politicians, their families, and their dogs and cats after on working on a couple of statewide election campaigns in NJ. But seriously, he loves his Joisey elected leaders and watching them on re-runs of The Sopranos.
In 2008, Michael collaborated with a group of writers, comedians, and actors to co-wrote a feature length award nominated political comedy entitled, "Turn Left to Pennsylvania Avenue," You can check it out on IMDB.
His biting pontifications on the news of the day and the news of yesterday that is still news has been featured in New York Times Laugh Lines and about.com

This is my first podcast covering politics from my own unique angle. The purpose of my podcasts will be to delve deeper into the issues and to report the things that the mainstream media often misses. All of this will come from a place of humor, irony, and sarcasm. The world is a complicated and scary place. If you don’t stop and laugh, you may find yourself confined to a padded cell.
This particular podcast looks back at the past two weeks and deals with the Swine Flu frenzy, Joe the Plumber and homophobia, and the current state of the Republican Party. The content includes the headlines of the day, analysis, soundbites, and a song that encapsulates the news of the day. In future podcasts, I hope to include interviews from experts, pundits, writers, and opinion makers.
I hope you enjoy! Swine Flu Podcast
Great job Mike. Enjoyed the podcast! Keep making ‘em.
