iPhone wedding proposal

I thought I put a lot of time and thought into my wedding proposal – but this guy has me way beat. He created a wedding proposal video in the style of the overplayed iPhonecommercials (not that really annoying “man on the street” versions, the slightly less annoying iPhone and hand commercials).

I’m getting a little choked up.

The curse of Billy Penn

Sorry for another YouTube post, but I hardly ever post about sports, so unless you know me personally, you probably don’t have an idea how I live and die with the Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies. I also follow the Sixers, but the NBA is such a horrible product, I wouldn’t call myself a devoted fan. The curse of William Penn was coined because no Philadelphia team has won a championship since the statue of William Penn on Philadelphia City Hall was replaced as the tallest structure in the city.

I can’t wait for this curse to be moot – but doesn’t the waiting make the winning even sweeter?

Anyway, songwriter Ryan Parker has summed it all up in song, and I figured I’d share.

Black people don’t have values (Mitt Romney’s thoughts)

Been watching some of last night’s CNN YouTube Republican Debate in order to confirm my dislike of Republicans; I was not disappointed. An example? Mitt Romney is one of the leading candidates on the Republican side. When asked what should be done to reduce crime he states we need to get back to family values and in the African-American community 68% of children are born out of wedlock.

This is the sort of divisive comment that the Republicans are good for. Two of his three efforts to reduce crime increased family values and increase policing. To reduce crime you need to improve the economy, you need to improve the schools, you need to give poor people options. Romney’s solution is to lock more black men up – that hasn’t worked at all for the past 40 years to reduce crime.

If you want a laugh, watch some of the moronic hicks and their gun control questions.

Star Wars Trumpet Solo – Stacy Ledger Interview

Merujo said there was an interview with Stacy Ledger, the woman from the Star Wars solo that’s a YouTube sensation. I tracked it down, and here it is. She’s got a good sense of humor about it. Having grown up in the 80′s myself, you need to have a good sense of humor about yourself.
