Paul F. Tompkins Got Engaged

Gothamist has a new interview with Janeanne Garofalo, and I learned two things while reading it:

1. Laura Bush smokes.

2. Paul F. Tompkins got engaged on Christmas. Just like Jesus!

Well with that bunch performing tomorrow, it sounds like it

girlfriend's video blog that he recently got engaged.

Oh really?! Wow, I am thrilled. That relationship has just been the

best thing for him. I've always liked Paul. He's a great guy and one of

my favorite comics. But I'm telling you, once they started dating, he

has become one of the nicest guys in the world. Honestly, he has been

on top of the world, walking on air, whatever the sayings are. He's

been so happy since they got together.

The interview doesn't say whether or not the First Lady's affection for tobaccy is related to the planned nuptials, but it can't not be right? If a butterfly can flap its wings in St. Louis and cause a tornado in Helsinki, then surely a 62-year-old woman coughing up brown phelgm in the shower can lead to a funny guy getting married. That's just plain and simple logic.

Anyway, congratulations to Paul and his bride to be. You can see that vlog with the announcement after the jump.
