As I am about to embark in another round of presentation making, someone twittered the following video :

and it was through this awesome slideshow of funny that I found Tim Lee, my new favorite and hawt PhDer :

Why?

She slaps down a heckler with the instant classic : "I don't go to your job and knock the dicks out of your mouth!"

She's so awesome!

I cannot get enough of Sarah Palin's cluelessness. I swear, it's just magic to me how she is lost in the happy-go-luckiness of her ignorance. Especially since she had just previously pardoned a frigging turkey at the same poultry farm.

As commenter teoleftfeet said over at Metafilter, "There's something very very surreal about government leaders sparing the life of a being and then ignoring the slaughter of others. Very very surreal."

Ignorance is indeed bliss. 

Yet what's really over the top and had me literally rolling on the floor with tears streaming down my face was that the guy in the background comes back to do the unspeakable behind her all over again.

That's what we call chutzpah.

A clip of the 1960's haute-camp tv show, Batman, that eerily foretells last night's debate.

Via Goat Milk and Metafilter.

This is the infamous clip from The Original Kings of Comedy. I fell in love with Bernie Mac ten thousand times again after this movie.

This is the story of his sister's children living with him. His sister was allegedly a drug addict who lost custody of her kids and Bernie took them in so the court wouldn't separate them. He talks of his trials and tribulations raising the children after years of being "childless" (his daughter was at the time 25 and living on her own).

Bernie talked the truth not just of his family but of the reality of a lot of black folks --and I am not just referring to gringo blacks, but to all Negro families in the hemisphere of América. You can have in one family, even among siblings, one living The Middle Class Dream while the other is still stuck in Ghetto Hell.
