I was nonchalantly webmining this afternoon and found this gem from 2008. Dunno how I missed it, but I hope the speechwriters received royalties.
There’s another amusing vid that tallied up the number of times Obama mentioned “pie” in the same speech: 15 times.
Speaking of pie, how about topping it off with a scoop of Overnight Open Thread?
Amazing that people like this are allowed to vote. They’re the same people who screw up the odds on hat day at the racetrack by betting on the jockey with the prettiest shirt.

The ditz voted for The Reverend Al Green, and Alvin Greene won the Dem nomination. He’s a real whiz kid, too, as evidenced by his quick wit during an interview with Mark Levin yesterday.
On the other hand, this kid is going places:
Overnight Open Thread? Why the hell not.

The best summary of the various forms of government I’ve ever seen was in this must-see video from a year or so ago. If any of my fellow netizens haven’t seen it, it’s required viewing IMO.
I know I’m preaching to the choir, but if any of you have kids or grandkids that haven’t seen that video, it’s worth paying them to watch it.
Did someone say Open Thread?
Today, Tuesday, 8 June 2010, is California’s Primary election. For those of you on the west coast, the ballot initiatives are probably the most important of the mess.
As for me, I’m voting NO on every initiative except for Prop 13. It’s a good measure, and has no opposition. Owners of existing buildings should not be penalized by property tax reassessment for seismic retrofitting.
As for the candidates, Meg Whitman gets my vote for Republican nominee for governator, and conservative Chuck Devore deserves to go to the U.S. Senate. The other candidates for other seats don’t matter much.
Now, Steve Rocco is another story. I’m tempted to vote for him just for the hell of it because he pissed so many people off. Here’s a guy who was elected to the board of the Orange Unified School District without even campaigning. He beat out the other contenders with a pair of nothing, and once elected, it took weeks for the OUSD to find out who and where he was. He’s a bizarre dark stocking cap with black sunglasses who’s full of conspiracy theories, and was arrested for supposedly stealing a half-empty bottle of catsup from an OUSD cafeteria. Now he’s running for Public Administrator.
Sounds like a great candidate. Write in Bunk Strutts instead.
If and when I am elected, my first duty shall be to reduce my pay by 33%. If I have to wear a tie in order to perform my duties, we’re talking about a 25% reduction. Savings all around. Everyone who can prove that they voted for Bunk gets a voucher for a free drink at the watering hole of your choice. You got it. I’m buying a round for the house on my dime.
You can’t lose. After all, look at the alternatives.
