This post is not necessarily meant to be humorous, but in some instances, it is. Funny in that way that you can't believe this shit kind of funny, but not really funny like roll around on the ground funny. I usually don't get too political on this site, but after viewing the following crapola, I had to comment!
I have been catching all the political ads in the race for retiring New Mexico Senator Pete Domenici's Senate seat. Some words that come to mind for the two Republicans, Heather (I cried on national TV about a nipple seen for 1.5 seconds) Wilson, and Steve Pearce-yuck! Shameful! Disgusting!
Here's Heather-with that weird voice of hers, sniff sniff-sorry! The super-fleeting glimpse of a nipple makes me want to...sniff sniff-Bawl! I am just abuzz about all this!
These two are trying to "outconservative" each other in their respective ads. In this state, who doesn't know these two were about as far right as they can go?! Certainly the progressive-minded citizens of our state have long known that both Pearce and Wilson have steadfastly voted for all the miserable Bush military and economic policies, and now they are both-instead of being individuals and independent of this administration, trying to show just how far to the right they can get. They both have ads that display "conservative" and "conservative Republican" like its some kind of damn badge.
Steve Pearce's ads are the worst though. He attacks Wilson for being "liberal"! Calling Heather Wilson liberal is like calling a chihuahua an alligator... or something along those lines! Just dumb! He still thinks health care in this country is ok the way it is-he denigrates Wilson for voting for SCHIPP, calling it "socialized medicine."
I don't know how this next clip was obtained. It seems like a hidden camera type of thing, but I don't know why the reporters or investigators would have to do something like that-Pearce is pretty proud of his anti-health care views and probably would give a normal interview. Or proclaim it on the steps of the Capital! The information on the bottom of the screen contradicts what he is saying, although it is unfortunately difficult to read.
Here's one of his dumb campaign ads:
Many of the ads for races in this state are similar, with the ads proudly displaying the "conservative Republican" banner. Here is Monte "choir boy" Newman's videos. (I think they play in succession)

Ed Tinsley, running against Monte Newman in the 2nd District race for Congress also is trying to be Mr. Conservative. This ad is also nauseating.

Here is an antidote for all this far-right-wingin' nonsense! David Cross with his take on flags and flag-waving!
Here is almost the same David Cross flag theme (a little shorter) that you can download. Unfortunately this copy is censored! Boo! It's almost the same effect though! Pure hilarity! Enjoy! *(Left-click on the link then click on "Download"-Mac users just click-I guess!)

Scary things scare me.
This is scary, folks.
Yikes! All I can say to this photo is: Arrrggh! What the hell is that!?
Seriously-I sincerely hope Amy gets some help soon! She is soon to become another pop casualty if she doesn't. She went from this:
To this. Now that is scary!
Spook your friends with this one, kids!

Musical musings on life and such
Anybody that has read this blog knows that I love to check out YouTube guitar clips so I can learn songs or just hear a favorite band or artist. I really liked the The Knack-especially the guitar work in their stuff and so recently I took a look at some clips of My Sharona. Of course, there are the "Related Videos" on the side, so I decide to click on this one clip that looked interesting. Well, this clip is very interesting. In it, this group is playing a cover of the song, and the camera, strategically placed to capture the band in all its rock and roll glory, instead captures some dimwit making funny faces, trying to dance (I guess I shouldn't talk!) and speaking very animatedly at some other person who is off-camera. The "guy in the corner video" (on YouTube) has a lot of funny comments!
In checking out video clips of some songs I like to play on guitar, I came across this clip of the band Kix doing Blow My Fuse. Now, heavy metal videos are some of the worst videos ever made-absolutely horrible acting, pretentious, super corny, and utterly ridiculous, but I don't mind "performance" type videos. (Hey-how am I gonna learn those licks if I can't see the person playing them, right?) The original Kix video of them performing this song is good-by heavy metal band standards-I think. There was another version put out by what can only be called an "imposter" Kix band. This clip is so bad, so ridiculous, and so inadvertently(?*) funny I had to put it on! You have to see both clips to understand. The first is the "real" Kix, the second is by the Spinal Tap-ish Kix. I love the imposter band's singer's facial expressions-like he just smelled the least-wiped ass ever, and his rather substantial belly! What's weird about this is that I have researched this (yes I actually have looked into this!) and can't find anything about this pressing matter. How is this imposter band able to use the real song; the video is actually labelled "Kix" and its directed by one "Brad Feig"-who I have not been able to find any information on at all! * This second video has to be a gag video-look at the guitarist's hair! That singer's face! Who knows!? At least this version is funny as hell!
"Real" Kix-Blow My Fuse:
"Imposter" Kix
Was listening to the "70's" XM channel on the way home from dinner tonight and heard "You and I" by Rick James. Made me think of that funny skit from the Dave Chapelle Show where Charlie Murphy-Eddie's (funnier?) brother-reminisces about meeting Rick James backstage. One of Dave and Charlie's funnier skits-I think.
*Update-the YT clip I had posted here was taken off. I found a link to another version of this that actually has all 3 episodes of the "I'm Rick James, bitch!" series from the Dave Chappelle Show. All are pretty damn funny. I am now glad I found a link to this better clip!
Funny Video - Dave Chapelle - I'm Rick James Bitch
*Update-I recently (a bit late I guess-it ocurred in 2-08) found out that YouTube had taken the famous guitarist comedy shred videos authored by "St Sanders" (otherwise known as Santeri Ojala) down due to the parodied guitarist's claims of copyright infringement. Ludicrous. They were/are a parody! Get a life!
I put up a link from my original posts to Wired where the clips can still be seen. http://c3fun.blogspot.com/2007/11/skink-and-shred.html

I have been horribly busy lately at work with school meetings, "putting out fires," and other things. Here is some weird stuff I found on the 'nets. (click to enlarge)

Funny stories
I have always loved the music of Todd Snider. Todd Snider - The Official Website He always writes songs from the working person's perspective. He has a lot of good, powerful songs about current social issues. I like his musical style also-a mix of country, blues and folk. He also has a great sense of humor in his songs. I was checking out some of his stuff on YT and found these-two great, funny stories from a very good songwriter and storyteller.
I have neglected to post some of this guy's clips. Lewis Black is funny as hell! I like his stuff! I sometimes don't like the angry, screaming comedians as much as I do as people like Jim Gaffigan, Mitch Hedberg, etc, but Black's thing is he's pissed! And he's fucking pissed! Pissed at all the BS we are going through. I can identify with him and his anger, so that's why I like him so much!

1. I write with my left hand, but do everything else with my right. When I was a classroom teacher, I wrote on the chalkboard more easily with my right-for some crazy, odd reason!
2. I have one sister who is a little older than me. She lives here in ABQ, NM also.
3. I never played any sports in high school, but after I graduated, I played a lot of basketball, and played a lot after work, and during the time I was studying to become a teacher at UNM. I haven't played much since I got married and had our son.
4. I have another blog which is a guitar blog that I link from here-Guitarthrill.
5. I have never been to any other states other than Calif., Nev., Wy., Ariz. Idaho, Ut., Col. Montana, Texas, Fla., and Mass. Of course, I would like to travel to a bunch more, especially Ill. and NY! Wash. would be nice too!

I remember when...
This is Lonesome George's Article on Lonesome George take on recent world events.
Been meaning to post some Emo Phillip's stuff, but I keep forgetting! I like him. I hear him on XM comedy all the time and when I 'm driving alone I have to always pretend I'm coughing or something, lest someone driving next to me think I'm a friggin' nut-laughing all by myself!

What a unique style this guy had! Sometimes you are listening to his labored, breathy delivery (I guess that's how you could describe it!) and you have to sit there and think about the twist he is making. Not to mention his look! Here's a few clips.
