Here's Greg mentioned in an article on Comedy "Counterattacks" against the war in Iraq:

Greg moments:

"The Bush administration deliberated for days before settling on a name for war in the Middle East: Operation Iraqi Freedom. Last week at Cobb's Comedy Club, headliner Greg Proops joked that he'd hoped for a hipper name.

"Something like the Bob Hope Desert Classic."

Proops, a deft, wicked-witted comic who grew up in San Carlos, peppered his act with wartime observations, almost all of them disparaging of the Bush administration or the foibles of American culture. Cobb's, located at Fisherman's Wharf, draws a touristy crowd, and Thursday's wasn't always thrilled with the comic's perspectives. He kept them laughing nonetheless, by riffing on their discomfort.

Is it not hypocritical, Proops wondered, for the United States to attack a country for keeping weapons of mass destruction? "Apparently," he said, his voice oozing sarcasm, "ours are weapons of growth and nurturing."
