Bio
Several years ago, Jill packed her bags and moved from her hometown of Custer, South Dakota to New York City to pursue a career in stand-up comedy. Since then, she's performed at venues ranging from the New York City Subway to Madison Square Gardens (both were nice, but MSG smelled better), and was a New York City finalist on Last Comic Standing. She likes bunnies and glitter and hates mayonnaise. Politically, she just wants to vote for someone who doesn't make her want to stab herself in the face. Is that so much to ask?

"Pay $86,000 for executives to attend a partridge hunt at an English manor. (My favorite quote from an A.I.G. executive was: 'The recession will go on till about 2011--but the shooting was great today.')"
What's in a Name?, October 2, 2008
"It gets worse. The youngest child? You know, the one with Down Syndrome? She named him Trig. As in, the class that even high school kids whose chromosomes function normally can't pass. That seems a little cruel."
Revisionist History, September 26, 2007
"I'd love to spend that kind of day with my bestest buddy Mahmoud, but it seems he already has plans. You see, some people prefer eating bagels and going to the zoo, whereas others prefer making speeches denying the existence of the Holocaust (which makes entering a bagel shop extremely uncomfortable).

Hand Signals, August 29, 2007
"See, there was this Senator named Larry Craig. Larry recently felt the need to use airport bathroom. This part of the story is not even a little bit scandalous. Senators go to the bathroom just like you and me, except that when Senators go Number Two, they refer to it as "filibustering.""
