A friend showed me an absolute gem on YouTube. In the 1970s, a narrator apparently recorded an alternate voice over for a public service announcement about AFSCME, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Rappin' Mix Master Mayor
The previous post was on Michael Nutter appearing on ABC’s ‘World News Tonight‘ with Charlie Gibson on Wednesday. In it, Gibson mentioned video of Nutter rapping on his inauguration night. Check that video out below and be amazed. He doesn’t even embarrass himself. Seriously.
My son was riding this Chinese bus
Good find on Philadelphia Weekly’s Will Do blog.
Chris Matthews, a Philly kid and MSNBC talking head, tried to talk about the Chinatown bus, and how his son took it to get home and vote. ‘Cept he kept calling it the Chinese bus, not that getting it right and calling it the Chinatown bus woulda helped most of the country know what the hell he was talking about.
So, yeah, though Matthews totally goes to bat for Philly on the reg, it’s fairly amusing.
Chicken attack in area high school
Graduates of Philadephia’s Northeast High School beware. More than 50 live chickens were let loose in the high school, forcing the school to close, the Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting. Not even joking.
Security cameras show a handful of “culprits” gained access to the school around 9:30 p.m. last night, along its Cottman Avenue entrance. They also spread chicken feed across the school’s floor.It appears to be an elaborate prank. A prank that, at least one secretary told the Inquirer, would be preferred than a school shooting or similar news that more often gives headlines to high schools. A farmer was summoned to round-up the birds and haul them away to Fox Chase Farm, the district’s agricultural school. Hefty fines are expected.
Worst poll ever
In my continued attempt at finding the worst poll ever, I have stumbled upon today’s on the Web site of Fox 29 News.
“Who is your favorite Droid or Robot?”
Really?
I think the real issue is that Rosie, the robot maid from the Jetsons isn’t there.
What is more, you can even check out an interview with C3P0 on their site.
Kazaam: Everything is the same
Good movies come to resolution after a heightened climax.
With the stage of Super Tuesday coming to a close and no clear Democratic winner coming out on top, the presidential primary season has all the high drama of Shaquille O’Neal’s Oscar worthy portrayal of a “rappin’ genie with an attitude” in the 1996 classic Kazaam.
Though Hillary Clinton is winning in the delegates column, no one is putting Clinton over Barack Obama with any sense of assuredness.
John McCain came out on top for the GOP, but, let’s face it, his competition was Martin Sheen’s stunt double from ‘The West Wing‘ and Chuck Norris’ running mate.
Crazy Hillary Photo caption contest
Levity to the contest?
Anyone want to throw potential captions for this photographic gem of Hillary, taken by Reuters?
“You ‘da man, dawg. No, no, you, yes, you ‘da man, daaaaawg.”
Or
“I will cram the most fake emotion I can into one pose until I win the California primary.”
Any other suggestions?
Your new source for political definitions
If you don’t know what ‘Super Tuesday’ is or question what that acronym ‘GOTV’ stands for, don’t worry, your prayers are answered.
UrbanDictionary.com, one of the most trusted sources on the internet – used by University of Penn grad students and Inquirer reporters – has taken on the political.Its two most recently added definitions are the two phrases previously mentioned, meaning that you can finally go to the same place to find out what ‘Billary’ means as you can for definitions like “Air Conditioner Booty.”
Worst Super Tuesday Youtube videos
If a momentous day approaches, in today’s world that always means there are plenty of hilarious nonsense that people with lots of time on their hands post on Youtube. This can only mean one responsible, mature thing can be done. Display, vote and choose the worst video posted!!
Here are my three favorites, in a scale of ‘good-God-I-want-those-precious-moments-of-my-life-back.”
“CitizenTube” entered a Youtube contest and knew the best way to get anyone interested in politics is techno music. Thank you, “CitizenTube,” thank you.
I want to make fun of “LILVOKA” but this video has already been viewed more than 80,000 times! Are 80,000 bloggers posting him in their own blogs for its own sheer innocent ridiculousness!? Who is “LILVOKA” talking to!?
You couldn’t have a contest like this without a Ron Paul Revolutionary. This cat’s beard is good, the art is great but seriously, doesn’t this video look like something before you drink the Kool Aid?
University does something illegal to puppy
Canine solicitation has been criminalized.
The signature item at Temple University’s fourth annual Owl Club auction, held on Saturday, was a cute golden retriever puppy, in addition to Wing Bowl passes, Philadelphia Eagles tickets, and golf packages with Temple football Head Coach Al Golden.
Turns out, though, that only a licensed kennel can sell a dog, as the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
So while proceeds from the auction benefit Temple athletics, including the reported $700 that women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley paid for the dog, Temple might run into more trouble, as they face a citation for the infraction.
