You Said Who? I Sure Did.

I Can. Not. Believe. I’ve had this blog for almost five years and have never shared this with you. This may be the hardest I’ve ever laughed at television, the first time I ever saw this. Ladies and gentlemen, Slappy The Squirrel Goes To Woodstock:

The entire episode of this particular installment of the ‘Maniacs is available here. You’ve really got to appreciate how above-its-demographic this stuff is.

Is This Real Life?

Okay, so, not having kids, and not really wanting any of my own at the moment, I can unequivocally say that I find this video absolutely hysterical. Apparently this kid had just had oral surgery and was still pretty loopy from the nitrous, and so dad got out the camera and started videoing him. I suppose, if I squint, I could see how someone might say that posting something like this is "wrong," but come on! COME ON! Kid on drugs! What’s not to like?

I Love Jesus, But…

Holy Cow does this make me LOL. This is EXACTLY the kind of old person I plan to become:

“Say Simply, Very Simply, With Hope - Good Morning.”

I stayed at home to watch the Inauguration this morning, and I cried like a baby almost the entire way through it. The only thing I didn’t love was the Inaugural poem; so, I offer you this, which rings even more true, more urgent and relevant, today, than it did when it was given in January 1993. Also, there’s a shout out to my alma mater at the beginning, and I once had a class taught by this lady. Mostly, though, I find these words a stunningly accurate picture of what today means and how I, and most people I know, feel:

LOVE HAS ENEMIES

Good LORD, this music video makes me LOL, but it also makes me long for three robots down in front of the screen doing commentary.

God Freaking Bless Keith Olbermann

He asks the question I always want to ask: What’s it to you? What do you care if I can get married or not? How does it impact your life in any way?

HAIL JOSS

I’m going to start pimping Joss Whedon’s new show, Dollhouse, right now. It doesn’t actually premiere until February 13 (FRIDAY, February 13), but from the looks of it, and the fact that it’s a Joss creation, it’s going to be awesome. (And incidentally, if you haven’t watched Dr. Horrible by now, what are you waiting for?)

Of course, as they did with Firefly, Fox has stuck the show in a Friday night timeslot, which is like buying a very expensive orchid and keeping it in your garage, under some blankets. So even though the premiere is 3 months away, and by the time the show comes on we will OFFICIALLY have a new President, I’m going to heavily promote it now, by showing you the new spot that just showed up online:

One More Time

Here’s Barack, last night in Virginia, at his last campaign stop.

Compare with this, his speech to the 2004 Democratic National Convention, which I watched, thinking, "I’m looking at a man who will be president."

I heard what he had to say then, I hear it now, and I proudly voted this morning. Brian and I were up at 6:30 and we walked to our polling place, hand in hand, in love and excited. It’s a beautiful day here, autumn has come, and I’m filled with hope. But no matter who you vote for, please, please vote. Don’t be like the people we saw this morning, who got fed up with standing in line (Americans HATE to stand in line; it makes them worry that they no longer live in a democracy) and who just left. Wait it out. Vote.
