Track-A-’Crat: The Roll Call of Democratic Delinquency

Just watch the brief clip.

And try not to chuckle.  Well, try not to chuckle and not feel slightly ashamed of yourself, more accurately.

Sure a kid bites it, and that’s not normally something you’d be proud to laugh at, but this one is pretty spectacular.

The coincidences involved -- the break-dancer was at that point in his routine, the kid walked out just then, the mom had stopped to watch on that particular day -- all offer proof, once again, of the Lord’s existence.

And that He has a sense of humor.

Does this mean that I’m official a baby-eating conservative now?

[If there are any Street Fighter II fans reading this, watch the vid again and tell me what it reminds you of...]

If the creation of the weekend isn’t final proof of God’s existence, then I don’t know what is.

And don’t try telling me that the Romans, or whoever, invented the way we measure time, etc, ‘cos I have my belief and, by gosh, nothing you can say will change that.

To honor the weekend, here are some humorous clips for your viewing pleasure.

Two political, three not (including the above by British comedienne Catherine Tate -- if English is your mother tongue, then this is your video), all very entertaining.  In no particular order, here we go:

The world’s luckiest stuntman.

Jumping lizard scares the bejeezus out of TV presenter.

Former Deputy British Prime Minister punches man-on-the-street.

Current British Prime Minister breathes through his mouth.  Lots.

Before I get bucket loads of hate-mail, the photo above didn’t intentionally include Honest Abe.

MacBooks, ownership of which I previously believed to be the sole province of the feeble-minded, are actually ace.  The build quality is excellent, they never crash, etc, etc, and they have some wonderfully useful features such as being able to take a photo of what’s on your screen.

So, I had two photos open, those of David Gest and Qusay Hussein (which is the corpse, huh, can you tell?) and used the aforementioned feature to combine the two pics.  It just so happened that my desktop has a great picture of the Lincoln National Memorial as the wallpaper, and, entirely coincidentally, his head was in the empty quadrant sided by the other two pics.

And then I was too lazy to change it.

But it also looks quite good, amusing, no?

Here’s why this is posted: I was thinking fondly of Arrested Development (best comedy ever?), then Lizi Minelli entered my mind, followed by David Gest, who I remembered was compared to Qusay Hussein’s cadaver on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno some years ago.

You still with me?

No politics: just a photo of a very good man, a very bad man and a very ugly man.

Please ignore the irritating commentary on the vid.

Then praise the Lord that you’re fortunate enough to not be Neil Kinnock.

First of all, who wears a suit to the beach?  Even in the UK?

Secondly, watch through to the end -- what is that victorious air punch?

American politicians are more media-friendly than most British ones, hence my reverting to the UK for cheap laughs.

Returning readers, you’ll be learning a lot more about the legendary Neil “the Welsh Windbag” Kinnock.

I’m going to use that title every time that I post lighter fare, just so that I can reassure myself that I’m not only feeding you, dear readers, with things to make your blood boil.

Patience is a virtue but, thankfully, not necessary with this clip -- the good stuff starts to happen at the 15 second mark.  Even the most ADD people can surely stand that?

Shooting off on a tangent here, but ADD?  C’mon, it’s a load of BS.

Sure, it’s a convenient excuse that mommy and daddy can use to explain why junior is not king of the world, or that my fiancee can use to explain away my compulsive habit of jumping conversations every 30 seconds, but it’s not real.

It’s about as medically sound (and this is my professional opinion) as saying that toast is the best defense against blindness.

What?  Exactly.

Although it wouldn’t be hard to turn it political.

But all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy -- and also does him no favors at all with his Democrat fiancee.

And we don’t have to ruin everything by drawing parallels with politics, so for your viewing pleasure, here is Catherine Tate (a wonderful British comedienne).

As a fully paid up, lifetime member of the proficient-in-English-only club, I love this clip all the more.
