Evan Douglas Sayet (born around 1960) is a Jewish American stand up comedian and conservative speaker based in Los Angeles, California.
Sayet is the author of The KinderGarden Of Eden: How The Modern Liberal Thinks And Why He's Convinced That Ignorance Is Bliss.
Evan is the creator and star of "The Right To Laugh," which is the longest running conservative comedy show in America. Evan has written for Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect and for Win Ben Stein's Money. Evan wrote and produced the highest rated special in The Learning Channel's history: "The 70's: From Bellbottoms to Boogie Shoes" (also called "When Decades Attack")
XO: Or it might just be your narrow experience. I know and read many liberal blogs and know of the work of many liberal "comedians." How come you don't know the conservative ones. Huh? Could reveal a lack of broad-mindedness on your part.
Joe - While not being the least bit funny, that unknown guy in the video was attempting to make the false balance argument that seems to be at the heart of every conservative position these days.
It is the idea that an opinion or point of view that is completely unsupported by any evidence whatsoever (Fox News, Limbaugh Hannity, etc) has equal weight against ideas that have the bulk of scientific evidence behind them (evolution, global climate change,the age of the universe, etc,).
His point seemed to be that when people who have the actual facts, shut down people who have absolutely no facts, that this is somehow suppressing legitimate intellectual debate.
Bovine Feces!
What is is is exactly what Neil DeGrasse Tyson's COSMOS series has been doing.
Debunking complete and total nonsense.
Let's put your Evan Sayet and Neil DeGrasse Tyson on stage and let them go a few rounds.
It will never happen because Tyson refuses to debate idiots like Ken Hamm and I'm sure he would lump your unknown Sayet guy in the same category as someone who doesn't even have a legitimate point of view worth debating.
"According to Bloomberg.com, America has moved “substantially closer” to losing its AAA bond rating. There’s a certain irony, isn’t there, getting dropped from triple A because you’ve lost your way?"
"Another bit of trivia…with all four of the original members of Kiss on stage, experts say there were more cosmetic products in use than at any time since Meg Whitman stood alone on the podium."
Man, this guy is funny. Dig up some more of his stuff Joe. Show us what the fringe right considers humor.
I was born in Miami, Florida, the son of an Air Force officer, traveled the world, was saved at age 17, and have served the Lord since. That's me on the left and my lovely wife, Bonnie...the pretty one...on the right.

2. I am not looking for strings of commenters arguing with each other, so confine your comments to the topic at hand and address your comments to me, unless you can be exceptionally gracious and polite.
3. Since this is my blog, I am the sole arbiter of what can be placed on this blog. My decisions are final and without recourse. All anonymous comments, unsigned, will be deleted, as will ad hominem attacks against me or others.

FOUR PRINCIPLES THAT DEFINE TRUE CONSERVATISM:
1. Respect for The Constitution
2. Respect for Life
3. The Smallest Possible Government
4. Individual Responsibility
This blog is about my philosophy of government, which is a very conservative philosophy.
You are not required to agree with me (although you would be better off if you did).
I am biased toward conservatism, and make no apologies for that.
Freedom means not being controlled by the government, that being the very reason we declared our independence from Great Britain.
Government's job is not to provide things for people, but to provide the opportunity for people to persue the things they want via the vehicles of freedom and responsibility.

TIL I hate the Internet.
Who is this clown?
Ducky: He describes you to a "T" doesn't he?
Ducky: To help curb your ignorance:

Never heard of him. The fact that he is not funny might have something to do with that.

Joe - You've posted stuff on here that poked fun a libs before that I thought was hilarious and I said so.
You aren't the only conservative blogger I troll, er, I mean, um comment on.
But I've honestly never heard of him and didn't think the clip was at all funny. I thought it was lame.
XO: As most intellectuals recognized, this was about liberals' thought patterns. You prove him right every day.
I didn't realize you were trolling when you visited my blog. Now, I'll have to think about that.
Joe - "I didn't realize you were trolling when you visited my blog. Now, I'll have to think about that."
I don't think I'm trolling. I think I'm engaging in an honest, intelligent debate between differing points of views.
I just figured you and Glenn and Lisa considered me a troll. So I tossed out a bit of self deprecating humor.

XO, did you get the bit about right wing talk radio being a medium of debate and discussion?
And the bit where the audience laughed on cue when he mentioned Fox Snooze.
The guy's a stitch.
Check out this guy's monologue
No wonder he can't get work.
"According to Bloomberg.com, America has moved “substantially closer” to losing its AAA bond rating. There’s a certain irony, isn’t there, getting dropped from triple A because you’ve lost your way?"
"Another bit of trivia…with all four of the original members of Kiss on stage, experts say there were more cosmetic products in use than at any time since Meg Whitman stood alone on the podium."
Man, this guy is funny. Dig up some more of his stuff Joe. Show us what the fringe right considers humor.
XO: "So I tossed out a bit of self deprecating humor."
So where did you toss it"
Joe - Apparently I tossed it as pearls before swine.
Although "costume jewelry before squirrels" might be a more generous analogy.
XO: Heh.
XO's right: this guy's not very funny. He's right, but he's not funny.
Now, Seinfeld, HE's funny. This guy ain't.
Shorter Sayat, "Those people are all the same". Gosh, where have I heard that before?
Fredd: He actually has some good routines in his act. But this particular vid was not meant to be as funny as it was pointed.
Craig: They are. Why don't you start the movement for liberals to become truthful, honest, ethical, moral and dependable? You could be the leader!
Craig: Maybe you don't want them to be all of those things.
