Michael Gull's comedy is like a cup of police station coffee: dark, strong, bitter and definitely an eye-opener. Also, it makes you pee a lot. For more pictures, his astrological sign and a complete schedule of Michael's appearances, visit

FREE MICHAEL MCGEE!!!
I'm completely outraged by the arrest of Milwaukee Alderman Michael McGee, Jr. This is just another example of the racist machine that exists here in Milwaukee and their fear of a powerful man of color. Alderman McGee has done nothing but good for the 6th District, serving only the interests of his constituency.
The Milwaukee Police Department and the Feds have been gunning for McGee since he entered public life. Before that, they targeted his father, who also served selflessly as Alderman of the same district. The behavior of the racist Milwaukee media during this past week in dealing with McGee's arrest has been deplorable. The TV news and radio programs and newspapers who have decided to make this a major news story should be ashamed of themselves.
It has been pointed out by prominant local media types that when white local political types have gotten into legal trouble, they weren't paraded around in handcuffs and humiliated in public. Alderman McGee is being treated unfairly because he's black AND because he's a strong black man who is the son of a strong black man. McGee is now being mocked by racist white people while he goes through this public humiliation at the hands of the racist justice system. He's also being mocked and criticized for calling in to a local urban morning radio show and singing, as well as being accused of trying to get his supporters to contribute to his legal expenses.
I'm sickened by this treatment of a good man who only wants to serve his city.
Ouch. My cheek hurts from having my tongue so firmly planted in it.
