I thought last week's episode of South Park, which spoofed Inception, was pretty funny, but not on the same level as the Jersey Shore or NASCAR episodes. Turns out they lifted some material from an online spoof of Inception from collegehumor.com. My beloved South Park pulled a Dane Cook (stealing jokes; also known as a Carlos Mencia). At least they had the decency to own up to it, which is to be expected for a TV show that seemingly promotes the idea of individual responsibility. I think the collegehumor spoof was actually pretty good, if not even funnier than the South Park episode. Here it is for you to enjoy.
I often refer to Instapundit's Glenn Reynolds as the Instaprophet for his seemingly prophetic blog musings that are almost always accurate. Maybe I'll have to start referring to Allah as the Allahprophet after he predicted this spin just minutes before it showed up on MSNBC. Although as he himself admits:
That was posted at 4:27 p.m.; the Matthews clip below comes from the 5 p.m. hour and the Schultz clip comes an hour after that, with no doubt plenty more in store tonight from Olby and Maddow. That’s how easy it now is to predict MSNBC spin. And as I said earlier, if you think this is rock bottom in terms of liberal desperation this week, just wait. You ain’t seen nothing yet.
Bees are Smarter Than Computers. Well, not exactly but still pretty cool.

Want to be completely depressed? Who's the Vice President? It won't let me embed the video, so just click the link and watch to lose all faith in the youth of America. College, yes, I repeat, COLLEGE students can not answer simple questions such as, "Who is the Vice President?," "Who's the Speaker of the House?," "How many total U.S. Senators are there?" and "How many Supreme Court Justices are there?" The only question that I didn't know the answer to was "How many total members of the House are there?" and apparently it's 435.
I've said many times in my life that I'm not a big fan of George Bush. He had like a 20% approval rating when he got out of office, so I think I'm not alone on this. One problem, however, is that many people on the left assume that everybody didn't like him for the same reasons. I didn't like him because he was a terrible economic conservative who spent like a liberal. Here to make the point better than I could is Dr. Timothy Dalrymple: The Tea Started Brewing Under Bush. Two quotes that I find poignant.
The important point is this: many who now comprise the Tea Party were not Bush die-hards, but disapproved or largely disapproved of the Bush administration’s big-government tendencies. Of course small-government conservatives and independents, when Obama took those tendencies and magnified them threefold, went from frustration to outrage...
...it is entirely natural that those who rejected Bush for his government growth and deficit spending would become, when Obama exploded that growth and spending, the leaders of the Tea Party movement. Further, for many conservatives there was some amount of trust that Bush would not go too far, that his policies were pro-growth, that his deficits were more sustainable. Obama came along and tripled the rate at which the debt is growing, budgeted for trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye could see, and punishes the very same private sector that he so desperately needs to create jobs. This alone, without reference to racism or bigotry or irrational hatred, is sufficient explanation for the Tea Party movement.
And just one more reason to dislike Obama. He's not very statesmanlike, and is an obvious product of the Chicago political machine as can easily be seen by his statement to the Latino community:
We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us
As if the Latino community is monolithic... identity politics at it's worst. But no, I must dislike him 'cause he's black, of course!
