America's Next Great Speaker Contest - Jessica Levity - first submission

This is a snip-it from the Metacomedy. I pulled this piece because it's my favorite, and I knew the review committee for the North America's Next Great Speaker (NANGS) contest only needed the first 90 seconds, and this one works out perfectly with showing who I am. Enjoy!

Episode 5: The Oscars, The Politics, and the Transvaginal Probe

Utah makes sex optional, Michael Moore goes on a fat (yes, we left out the 's' on purpose), and Virginia boldly probes where no state has probed before. Also: Gary Oldman was robbed at the Oscars, and Chris opens Pandora's box (or was it that Pandora opened Chris' box?) FIND OUT ON THIS EPISODE OF HUMP TRAIN! 

This week on Hump Train, hosts Jessica Levity and Chris Daniels, along with special guest, comedian Ian Sorensen, explore this week's relevant sexual health and pop culture topics. In their newest segment, The Daily Hump, the trio discusses: Utah's new ban on sex ed, the Million Moms' switch to focusing on Toys R' Us for distributing Archie Comics with a gay wedding cover, and finally, Michael Moore's move encouraging Michigan democrats to vote for Santorum.

On The Low Down segment, Chris relates the Transvaginal Probe controversy coming out of Virginia, requiring women who are seeking an abortion to see an unnecessary ultrasound prior to procedure.  The crew also responds to a listener's email: "If I can't afford sex toys, what are some at-home options I can use?"

Lastly, during The Quickie, sassy-gay reviewer, Oscar Ceezon ("Say-zon"), provides tips for delivering a stellar Oscar speech.

ENJOY THIS EPISODE! IT'S REALLY FREAKIN' FUNNY.

Best 3 New Songs of the week:

Of Monsters and Men, Dinah Washington, & Ryan Adams

Ok, they're probably not "new" to people who are music geeks, but I stumbled across them for the first time ever, and they're so good that I just listen to the 3 of them on repeat. But I'm like that, so...

Anyway. Enjoy.

"Some days I feel like I'm wrong when I am right.
Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear."

I got a man that's always late
Any time we have a date
But I love him
Yes I love him

Are we really who we used to be?

Am I really who I was?

(Ok, so this one I stumbled across a little while ago, but it's still doggy-paddling along on my current lazy-susan of songs I like.)
