The team at JibJab (site my be down right now) have released a new video and it has been almost four years since their last election satire. It’s ushers Bush out and introduces Obama and McCain to some jibjab hazing and of course it has a appearance by the Clintons. The pokes at McCain are right on but I don’t really understand the shots at Obama. Make sure you go to the JibJab site when it is up to check out the other laugh out loud videos by them.
Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker and Tits.
The seven words that were banned on broadcast TV that made George Carlin famous has died at the age of 71. Mr. Carlin’s unique brand of irrelevant humor that was ground breaking and politically charged will always be remembered by me. My good friend Matthew, at Capitol Street just recently posted about George Carlin being awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and now he is dead.
I had to post a couple of videos of his comic stand up to pay tribute to the man.
A man who was part of a anti-gay marriage protest interferes with same-sex couples trying to get marriage certificates in Yolo County of California. This loser at one point tries to say that his religion is being prosecuted because of the allowing of gay marriages. What?! The funnest part is the protester looks a little gay himself to me and maybe in the closet?
I just don’t understand why some people have nothing better to do then try to deny the same rights they have to someone else.
I had wrote a post a while back on one possible solution to the whole same-sex marriage issue is to just get government out of the marriage business! Basically, I suggested we just pass a federal law to only recognize civil unions which would have the same rights as a married couple now. If a couple wanted to be “married” they would go to their church. This way a same-sex couple to get “married” only need to belong to a church that allows it. I think this would make it harder for the religious nuts to be opposed to same-sex marriages since we still do have freedom of religion in this country.
Getting back to the title of this post… Maybe pro-gay marriage advocates in one of the two states that allows same-sex marriages should crash a heterosexual marriage to protest the union. I doubt that would happen since those type of people tend to have more class then the Jesus freaks.
The other day my boss at the library mentioned I may like the song “Handlebars” by Flobots. I am not a big fan of hip-hop but felt it had a interesting message of the human potential to be creative or destructive. Check it out…
I have always been more a movie buff (over 200 DVD’s and counting) then into music but that has been changing of late. While I have many musical interests, I have always liked the music of the of the 6o’s and 70’s. Where is the new generation of protest music because of the Iraq War? I know there has been a lot of music since the year 2000 that you could categorize as anti-war or pro-peace, or just plain anti-establishment but the big corporate record labels tend to suppress it.
This where I need your help in finding more examples of this kind of politically charged music. What I would like to try to do is create a thread here so myself and others can find this music. Please leave a comment (and a link preferably to the video) to share any music you think would fit the mold of what I am looking for. Thanks in advance…
Please make it Earth Day everyday and not just for today.
Here is a interesting video from Jamie, of the The Cuter Side of Politics who makes a plea for people to keep their other political agendas away from the celebration of Earth Day.
Oh yes, it’s also the Pennsylvania Democratic primary today and I hope Pennsylvanians do the right thing and end this race now. This process has dragged on long enough…
