I Love People
Politics almost always shows humans at their worst. So if you pay lots of attention to it, it's easy to forget what humans can do at their best and start thinking we're nothing but disgusting split-brained apes with big thumbs.
That's really too bad, because at our best we do produce a lot of worthwhile, uh, stuff. For instance: this peculiar, profane video performed by Mike O'Connell with Dr. Ken. I think what really makes it is Dr. Ken's performance and silver unitard.

So this is what people outside of the political sphere are like? Interesting.

Posted by: Susan at December 10, 2006 09:43 PMYes, yes, stupid funny. Much better than plain old stupid, and less dangerous than stupid serious. Also thanks for the link to Totse, Jonathan. I was needing one more site to eat through my day like acid.

Posted by: gmanedit at December 11, 2006 10:11 AMUh, pleasant enough, but too derivative. One sees stuff like this everywhere, anymore.
