I love this video. A brilliant young woman rips fundie dumbass Kirk Cameron a new one for defacing Darwin’s Origin of Species with a 50-page introduction of Christian fairytales and bullshit.

This video is about the birthers — those crazy people who question Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

I know everyone else is posting these guys. But, you have to watch this until the gal with the keyboard interviews Dick Cheney. It is the funnies thing I’ve seen in days.

I was inspired to make this after watching the following video from College Humor Orginials:

This is NOT safe for work! If you don’t want your co-workers to hear the f-word sang over and over again in the infectiously happy voice of Lily Allen, wait until you get home to play this video.

The biggest singing star on the planet right now is Susan Boyle, a contestant on Britain’s Got Talent. The 47-year-old singer is blowing people away with her unbelievable voice. A rare CD that she recorded a track for back in 1999 is currently being auctioned on UK eBay.

A fellow commenter on Pam’s House Blend pointed out the voice on the CD sounds very different from Boyle’s TV performance. He said that he found a recording by another singer on iTunes that sounds very similar. That made me wonder if Boyle could be one of those remarkable people who can imitate other singers flawlessly like June Horrocks’ character in the film Little Voice. I know it is unlikely, but Little Voice is one of my favorite films and Boyle is at the very least an undiscovered talent similar to the fictional LV.

You gotta love Anderson Cooper. At the end of this clip, he delivers one of the funniest lines of the week with a perfectly straight face.

This has to be one of the most disturbing music videos I’ve seen in a long time. Depeche Mode’s new album is due to be released soon and this definitely has sparked my interest.

When my twin brother and I were kids, our dad took us to the local drive in to see a cartoon. But, what was playing that evening wasn’t a movie for kids. It was an animated feature called Fantastic Planet. I remember that one of the first scenes in the movie involved a space alien picking up a tiny woman and then exposing her breasts with his index finger. Most parents would have left at that point — not Dad.

Anyway, this wasn’t the first or last time dad took us to see an inappropriate movie at the drive in. I’m not sure what that was all about. I’ll have to ask him one of these days. (Brother, do you remember this one?)

I just read on Joe.My.God. that former Whitewater special prosecuter Kenneth Starr may appear before the California Supreme Court to defend Prop. 8:

According to Mother Jones, Bill Clinton’s nemesis Kenneth Starr will bat for the haters in the coming Prop 8 case before the California Supreme Court.

Overheard last week in DC at a right-wing legal convention: “We’ve all but confirmed that Ken Starr is going to take the case.”—Jordan Lorence, senior counsel, Alliance Defense Fund.

The involvement of the former Clinton special prosecutor in efforts to preserve California’s new ban on gay marriage really wouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Two years ago, Starr, now dean of the Pepperdine law school, represented a bunch of anti-gay marriage groups, including the Mormon Church, in amicus briefs in some of California’s gay marriage litigation.

Last year, I was speaking to my ex-boyfriend, Sean, on the phone and he told me that he was going to be appearing as George Washington in a music video by singer/songwriter Jay Spears. He explained that the video was about the separation of church and state and titled Smak Dem Christians Down.

Well, Sean made an excellent Washington. Also appearing in the video are Brad Hall (actor and husband of Julia Louis-Dreyface) as Thomas Jefferson and actor Richard Riehle as a hypocritical Christian preacher.

The video has received over 48,000 views on YouTube and a 5-star rating. But, I don’t think that’s nearly enough views for a video with such a timely message — besides, it is HILARIOUS!

Check it out! Post it on your blogs!

I need a break from politics tonight. Check out this community access cable TV show from Rochester, NY. I haven’t seen a Carol Channing this campy since I lived in West Hollywood.

Sasha (Ling Li) is part of the new youth generation of China, unbeholden to traditions and history, always trying to find themselves in the present moment. An exchange student in Nebraska, Sasha is pregnant after a one-night stand with Yang, a young man she knew briefly in Beijing. He was a nan dan, a male actor who specializes in female roles in the Beijing Opera. She departs for San Francisco, where she plans to get an abortion. 

Here’s the latest music video from VenetianPrincess. She’s quickly becoming the female Weird Al. Check it out.
