I Love Impressions

So, last week I watched "Frank Caliendo: All Over the Place." Frank Caliendo is a comedian who does impressions, and "All Over the Place" was really funny. Caliendo is most famous for his John Madden impression, but he also does many other really good impressions, including Presidents Bush and Clinton, Al Pacino and Charles Barkley.

Here's a sampling from an appearance on ESPN's Mike and Mike in the Morning. If you like this, find a way to watch "Frank Caliendo: All Over the Place." This is about a 9 minute video, so make sure you have the time.

They're Pinky and the Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain!

In need of some humor after a long day at work, I googled "Pinky and The Brain" which was one of my favorite shows when I was in high school. Pinky and The Brain are 2 lab mice. The Brain is a genius, Pinky is not. The Brain is bent on world domination, and, well, Pinky is The Brain's friend. Anyway, I found a "Pinky and The Brain" wiki with some great quotes...and I thought I'd share. If you aren't as dorky and me, you might not find these funny at all.

Pinky: Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?
Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky - try to take over the world!

Brain: They've turned into giant Swiss lederhosen-clad dancing yodelers.
Pinky: Talk about unpredictable!

Pinky: You aren't going to get rid of me,are you Brain? I mean, you, working as a single? Look happened to Jerry Lewis after he split with Dean; all that stuff in your hair.

Brain: Be quiet Pinky, or I shall have to hurt you.

Brain: What can I do for fun, Pinky? That's it! I'll send several bills to Senate for ratification, then veto them all!

Finally, in every episode, Brain asks Pinky the question "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?" Here are a few classic responses:

"Uh... yeah, Brain, but where are we going to find rubber pants our size?"

"I think so, Brain, but if we covered the world in salad dressing wouldn't the aspargus feel left out?"

"Um, I think so, Brain, but I hear Hillary is the jealous type."

"I think so, Brain, but practicing docking procedures with a goat at zero G's—it's never been done!"

Ok, enough from me, you can read the rest at the link above. Enjoy!

Explaining the Budget Cuts

It's been quite a week for me and my family, so I've been away from blogging and frankly from the news.

Anyway, I got an e-mail today from a friend, and it linked to a video that explains the $100 million dollar budget cut that President Obama promised last year. Here is the video that explains this budget cut. I can't embed it, so you'll have to follow the link.

While I knew that $100 million wasn't much of the budget, this was still eye opening to me. Anyone who doesn't think we are in financial trouble needs to watch this. Maybe our Senators, Representatives and President Obama need to watch this as well...might get them to stop spending and balance the budget...then again, maybe the only way to stop them from spending is to vote them out.
