Talk:Doug Stanhope

Poor Citation
The paragraph beginning in "Early this summer" is basically just plagiarized from the citation at the end. It should all be in quotes or rewritten.

Presidential Campaign, Libertarian?
The article states he is running as Libertarian candidate. I know he strongly supports the parties politics and in the past expressed how he votes libertarian, but I haven't seen anything on his site that says he will be running with any association to the Libertarian party. --Twintone 15:17, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Its up on his website now. He also mentioned on the dvd "The Austin Incident" that he's selling on his website.  He refered to his run for president as a "half serious goof."  --GregoryEvans01 16:05, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Protection
I've protected this page temporarily due to edit warring. If you would all like to discuss your changes here on the talk page, I'd appreciate it. --Kbdank71 17:06, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Revert to version...?
Is that really the best one?

How about those Wiki-intensive good ones?

For example...
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Doug_Stanhope&oldid=15596059

Isn't that one more NPOV and informative, or did I miss something? It's also a lot more blue, which I think is a good thing.

i dont know who he is but if he cohosts a show with that jackass he is probably a jerk

Bill Hicks?
I'd like to see some citation, or at least some tempering of the Bill Hicks comparisons with things like, "...however, Stanhope's acts invoke a less thoughtful and humanistic perspective than the late Hicks' material."

proof of libertarian ties
from the man himself:

"An unexpected outpouring of support from factions of the Libertarian Party has solidified my decision to run for the nomination as the Libertarian candidate."


 * Great thanks! --Twintone 19:37, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Anti/Man Show Blog?
I read a while ago about a blog entry he had, where he bashed the Man Show saying it was juvenile, etc. Does anybody have a link to this so we can possibly include it in this page? Chad Hennings 17:52, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I know he does not speak fondly of doing the Man Show or the Girls Gone Wild. On his "The Austin Incident" DVD he compares his doing the Man show to people who believe the camera steals your soul.--Twintone 17:57, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I've only heard it mentioned during his live shows, I haven't seen it printed anywhere. Besides the Austin Incident DVD its also mentioned on his XM Radio show that they've played a couple of times. --GregoryEvans01 19:43, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Atheist v. Agnostic
Why was there a change in what he is categorised as?--Twintone 06:00, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Photos
Can we get a better photo of Doug up? I know Chris Saunders the photographer and am sure he wouldn't mind if one of his shots was used.

I put a temporary one of him up that I took this weekend in Cincinnati, just until someone can get a better photo up. Someone PLEASE get a better photo up. --JerryLewisOverdrive 03:14, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I just uploaded one from a show in Manchester too.

 * Someone want to [mailto:doug@dougstanhope.com email Doug] and see if he has a photo he'd like us to use?--Twintone 16:24, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Las Vegas Weekly
This recent article now referenced on the main page seems to fill in a few gaps - anyone up for using it to update the main article?
