Barack Brushes The Dirt Off

Yet another musical tribute to my man, Obama. This one isn’t PG-13 like the others, but it’s a pretty hilarious remix of Jay-Z’s “Dirt Off Your Shoulder” and offers a good laugh. The second half of the video is a bit of a slam on Hillary Clinton with the remixed “99 Problems” - but all is fair in music and politics?

Overall, I think the video demonstrates the great sense of humor that Obama and his fans have. It does not, however, demonstrate a great sense of Obama’s dance moves. Don’t quit your day job, Barack.

McCain Gets Obama’d

Yikes. This is funny, but in a frightening way. A parody of the Yes We Can video and what it would say if it was made for McCain.

Guiliani Married His Cousin

Finally someone created the ultimate creep-out campaign against GOP Presidential not-so-hopeful, Rudy Guiliani:

My only wish is that I had created this site since I have known about this disgusting piece of information since the fall of 2006. It is very easy information to find as well, so it surprises me that it has not been used more often in the GOP political mud bath.

Guliani’s first wife was Regina Peruggi, his second cousin. They were married for 14 years until they realized the disturbing fact - they were indeed related. My question is, how did this not come to light during the wedding? Couldn’t some drunken grandmother have spoken up when the priest asked, “Does anyone see any reason why these two people should not get married? Speak now or forever hold your peace.”

Mystery Meat

If you’ve been following the 2008 elections, then you are familiar with the line up of candidates and perhaps some of their quirks. Well, as reported by So Good Blog, the Republican candidate Mike Huckabee has more to offer beyond his life as a minister, Arkansas governor and 100 lb. weight-loss story. Apparently, he enjoys a taste of horse meat and a handful of fried squirrel from time to time. From So Good, something to wet your pallet:

On the MSNBC show Morning Joe, Huckabee, talking about why he can relate to the people of South Carolina, told a story about how in college they would cook fried squirrels in a popcorn popper - the only cooking device they were allowed to keep in the dorms.

While I did call one of my roommates in college, “The Squirrel,” I never ate it.
