Weird Cover of Let it Be

Seriously, this is weird. And it is the type of video that has made YouTube useful still relevant.  I couldn’t stop watching it, even though it really is lame, i was mesmerized by it all.

Spanish Prime Minister’s Kids are Goths

The White House is techie-cool now that Obama is in the House.   They have a Flickr page…which sounds awesome, but is actually about as exciting as watching c-span.

ahem.

A few days ago, they posted some pics of the Obamas posing with the Zapateros - the Prime Minister of Spain and his family.

Apparently the Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero’s kids are goths.  Go figure.  Makes me wonder is Angela Merkel’s spawn are hipsters…?

So a Van Full of Beehives is Driving Down the Road…

And it crashes.  and mayhem ensues.  I read this news report by the Associated Press this morning, and thought that it represents the fine line between comedy and tragedy.  Mostly tragedy.

Excerpt,

“ANKARA, Turkey (AP) –

A van carrying beehives crashed into a truck on Monday, and huge swarms of bees broke free and stung the injured and rescue workers at the scene…”

Who Is the Least D-baggish Celeb?

So a friend recently posed the question of, ” In your opinion what guy celebrity, or known figure is the exact opposite of douchey?”

This is a tough one.  I mean, really.  The public/known persona of a celebrity versus the real, private character can sometimes be strikingly at odds.  Case in point, Bing Crosby…whose public persona was that of a kind, smooth-singing uncle, though it has come out that he was in fact an abusive parent.  But anyways, to keep it brief, i couldn’t come up with just one answer, rather, i had to respond with three:

1) Gary Coleman - because when you have some sort of renal affliction that causes you to look like you are 8 years old your entire life, it is  fairly impossible for your antics to be considered douchey compared to normal mortals…you have a congenital kidney disease that causes focal segmental glomerulosclerosisrenal affliction and makes you look like a kid, and you have had two kidney transplants and frequent dialysis AND you are a celebrity.

2) Clint Eastwood - because clint makes great movies as an actor and a director, was a well-intentioned mayor and can still pulverize you even though he is 79.  AND he did a couple of movies where he costar was an orangutan…

3) Ronnie Lott - because he is the greatest player to ever play football.  He did not shoot himself in the leg at a nightclub or run dog fighting rings.  Because he had his pinky amputated as a result of tackling Timmy Newsome and not wanting to leave the game, he is a known community contributor and well, because he is the greatest player to ever play football.

Mental Note, “don’t pick nose when standing behind POTUS, someone might take a picture”

This picture is pure awesomeness in so many ways…the nose picking is just slightly cooler than the kid who is unimpressed by the President wielding a Toys R Us lightsaber.
