Shepard Fairey and the Left's hope-destroying double standard

I was reminded of the YouTube video, “The Patti Lupone Audience Freak-out Re-mix,” by the post today by Stage Right at Big Hollywood, which explains why Shepard Fairey’s appropriation of the work of an AP photographer for his famous “Hope” poster of Obama is plagiarism and threatens the foundation of artistic compensation, yet Left-wing Hollywood …

No one laughs at God in a hospital

Dad’s OK, I’m OK, Cuban Diva BFF’s OK, all the cats are OK. But I spent the day working on a post that required me to re-live aspects of caring for Margaret while she was dying. Dear Jennie, The Bloggess, linked this song, “Laughing With,” by Regina Spektor in a tweet awhile back and it …

Last week I thought the videos below were hilarious, but that it was too mean to grab them up from Ace of Spades HQ, who found the first one at The Other McCain. Then Rachel Maddow preached from the gospel of Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs on “Meet the Press” ON MY FREAKING BIRTHDAY. …

Hitler finds out Chicago didn't get the Olympics

I lifted the video above from those dear, wonderful young gay men in Chicago at HillBuzz, who campaigned for McCain/Palin with everything they had and who have mountains of dirt on Obama. What movie is this from? I encountered it last week when it was used to lampoon the insanity of Charles Johnson of Little …

Healthcare choice … very nice!

Cuban Diva BFF and I talk on the phone almost every day and somehow this Wendy’s commercial from the 1980’s came up a few days ago. She tracked it down so I am embedding it here. I think it’s one of the funniest commercials of all time. But it’s also an illustration in 59 seconds …
