 Barack & Michelle Fox Calls Obama's Fist Bump a "Terrorist Fist Jab". To say nothing of the fact that Howie Mandel uses only this method of handshake on "Deal or No Deal", here's a commentary from Cenk Uygur about the latest Fox Noise Channel spin.
"Oh God, these Fox people are unbearable... A 'terrorist fist jab"??? No, dude, they're mental, man. And. gee, fair and balanced? You're telling me this is not an organization and a cable station set up for pure Republican propaganda of the worst kind?
A terrorist fist jab? Is that what Mark McGuire's been doing all along? Is that what every athlete in the country's been doing all along for the last ten years? Let alone all the rest of us. We've all been doing a terrorist fist jab? Come on! Come on!... They can't call something that we all know, a terrorist fist jab... |

 Before the Whites Video (9min 6sec): Native Americans Before the White Man tells the story of the Spanish invasion of California in the 1600s and the tragic consequences for the Native Americans.
"We have taught our children, the Earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the sons of the Earth. This we know. The Earth does not belong to man. Man belongs to Earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood which connects one family. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the sons of the Earth. Man did not weave the web of life. He is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself." - Chief Seattle
"From the coastlines to the mountains the abundance of the Earth determined the roots of culture. Each animal, each tree and rock has a spirit and a history.

 Bush & Benefactor Video (2min 57sec): 'Fahrenheit 9/11' - Shiny Happy People. "OK. So let's say one group of people, like the American people, pay you $400,000 a year to be president of the United States. But then another group of people invest in you, your friends, and their related businesses $1.400,000,000 over a number of years. Who ya gonna like? Who's your daddy?
"Because that's how much the Saudi royalty and their associates have given the Bush family and their friends and their related businesses in the past three decades.
"Is it rude to suggest that when the Bush family wakes up in the morning they might be thinking about what's best for the Saudi's instead of what's best for you or me?
"Cause $1.4 billion just doesn't buy a lot of flights out of the country, it buys a lot of love..."

 Argument Clinic Hilarious Video (2min 30sec): Monty Python - Argument Clinic. Monty Python’s Flying Circus is a BBC sketch comedy programme from the Monty Python comedy team, and the group's initial claim to fame. The show was noted for its surreal plots, risqué or innuendo-laden humour, sight gags, and sketches without punchlines. It also featured the animations of Terry Gilliam which were often sequenced or merged with live action.
The first episode was recorded on 7 September 1969, and broadcast on 5 October of the same year on BBC One, with a total of 45 episodes airing over four seasons.
The show often targeted the idiosyncrasies of British life (especially professionals) and was at times politically charged. The members of Monty Python were highly educated Terry Jones and Michael Palin are Oxford graduates; while Eric Idle, John Cleese and Graham Chapman are Cambridge graduates; and American-born member Terry Gilliam is an Occidental College graduate, with their comedy often pointedly intellectual by way of numerous references to philosophers and literary figures. |
