Michele Bachmann, Bad Lip Reading style

Ed Rollins’ departure has taken more of a toll than we anticipated.

Letterman would agree: This is something.

Bad Lip Reading is our new crush.

That’s some good advertising sheet, right there.

That’s one way to empty it

“The No. 2 best ad ever.”  — Adweek

“It really makes you sphinc.”  — Advertising Age

“I know you’d like for me to comment on it, but I won’t take asswipe at my competition.”  — Donald Draper

What the shit is this?!

Sigh.

Love this. From MacKenzie Fegan, the woman who brought us the Dodge Charger commercial spoof, here’s a follow-up parody video to the tragicomical Miss USA question about whether evolution should be taught in schools.

Thank you, Slate. This shit is epic.

President Bush Reacts to Osama Bin Laden’s Death with Will Ferrell

Barack Obama sent Navy Seal Team 6 to take out Osama Bin Laden in Abbottabad and made a statement confirming it on Sunday night. Former President George W. Bush finally responds to who and what has been terrorizing him for years.

(Funny or Die)

Britney Spears’ “Hold it Against Me” performed by US Marines somewhere deep in the heart of Afghanistan.

I’ll be impressed once the Afghanis have a homage video.

Somebody tell the first sergeant that there’s a couple of lance corporals with nothing to do.

But hey, they’re California Marines, so this is par for the course, right?

Um. Neither English nor Austrian-tinged German could express what we think, governor.

This morning, a high-profile conservative politician accused us of being “a highly polarized opinion-driven vehicle for all things to the far left,” suggesting we’d never bite on a story that promotes bipartisanship.

But then we found this video on YouTube, and we would love you to share it with everyone you know. It shows the kind of legislative bipartisanship we think is possible, and worth promoting.

And as for you, Mike Huckabee, inside we both know what’s been going on. We know the game, and we’re gonna play it…

Paw-Counterpaw: Our Heated Cats-and-Dogs Debate

EXHIBIT A: A letter to the eds in MoJo’s November/December issue.

Better Than LOLCats

I enjoy having MoJo as one of my primary news/opinion outlets and find the articles informing and thought-provoking. However! I am so tired of the unabashed cat loving going on. Please stop this madness. Dog people are more of your base—blue-collar, hard-working people—not effete snobs who own cats and live in loft apartments in the Village.

EXHIBIT B: A response received October 20 via email.

Re: Mike Haselberger, “Better Than LOLCats”—I’d put my cat-loving working-class friends up against his “hard-working” doggie buddies any day. In my neck of the woods, dog lovers are insensitive redneck types who think nothing of tying their “best friends” out in the yard and turning a deaf ear to their pet’s vociferous objections.

PS. I live in a ground level duplex with a yard in which my cats can play. Sorry, I can’t afford the Village.
