We hope to post any reader pictures or stories from the weekend late Monday night.  His next live appearance will be November 20th, in <a href=\"http:\/\/patron.tpac.org\/main.taf?p=9,5,1&amp;ProductionID=1666\" target=\"_blank\">Nashville<\/a>, where his shows will be taped for an upcoming comedy special and DVD.  We&#8217;re told that both shows are nearly sold out.  Craig will also be in <a href=\"http:\/\/purchase.tickets.com\/buy\/TicketPurchase?organ_val=1450\" target=\"_blank\">Indio<\/a>, CA on December 3rd, which appears to be his final live show for 2010.\r\n\r\nCraig&#8217;s opening act, <strong>Randy Kagan<\/strong> will appear in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stcharles.zanies.com\/news.php?NewsSection=Randy+Kagan\" target=\"_blank\">St. Charles<\/a>, IL November 10-13.\r\n\r\n<strong>DVR Alert:<\/strong> Craig will appear as a guest on the new CBS daytime talk show <em>The Talk<\/em> on Monday, November 8.  Check local listings for the time &#8220;in your region&#8221;.  Craig is also expected as a guest on <em>Lopez Tonight<\/em> on TBS on Tuesday, November 16.\r\n\r\nSince politics have been on people&#8217;s minds this week, we thought it would be a good time to re-post Craig&#8217;s speech at the White House correspondent&#8217;s dinner a couple of years ago.  Craig is entertaining but also gets in a few shots as the assembled politicians, government officials and media.  He is an American &#8220;on purpose&#8221; after all.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Veranda; font-size: x-small;\">Video courtesy: CSPAN<\/span>\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/42Jo2yRJt1Y?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/42Jo2yRJt1Y?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object>\r\n\r\nSaturday, November 6th is the halfway point of autumn, Basketball Day and  Marching Band Day.  Sunday, November 7th is Notary Public Day, Hug A  Bear Day and Magazine (those sort of glossy, papery blogs) Day.  Also,  Daylight Saving Time ends late Saturday night\/early Sunday morning in the US and Canada.  &#8220;Fall back&#8221; by  setting your clocks back one hour.  Unless of course you live in the  State of Arizona (except the Navajo Reservation) or most of Saskatchewan  or parts of British Columbia&#8230; which don&#8217;t observe daylight time.
