Ron Paul’s first action as President

I don’t post much political stuff here, because usually politicians have absolutely no sense of humor whatsoever.  But sometimes they can be so crazy that their statements become somewhat funny (as long as they don’t get elected!).

Here’s a video of presidential candidate Ron Paul talking to reporters, and he’s got some crazy ideas.  According to him, by talking to people, “You can change the world within weeks.”  But he would have to be President to be able to do that, naturally.  (Also, it should be noted that many countries don’t want to be changed, so talking isn’t going to do much about that.)  And one of his first actions would be to “bring the troops home from Iraq, give them motivation, start talking to each other”.  And that would cause the price of oil to drop probably $20/barrel.

He goes on to say that “a true terrorist is a very weak person” and “they really don’t have an army”.  So according to him, we shouldn’t fear them, because “nobody can touch us; we should feel perfectly safe from any country ever invading us, at least in the foreseeable future.”  Why does that not make me feel safe?

Here’s the video, so you can hear all of his ramblings.

I’m hoping he gets nowhere near the position of President!

Vanilla Ice videos

It’s time for a retro video.  My choice for today is “Ice Ice Baby” by Vanilla Ice.  Yeah, he ripped off a lot of other musical artists.  Yeah, he wasn’t as cool as he thought he was.  And you’d probably be embarrassed if someone walked up behind you while you were watching it.  But nonetheless, you know you want to click it to listen.  Go ahead, it’s okay.  You don’t have to admit it…  🙂

(FYI, it’s rated PG for a couple of questionable words and for scenes of lameness.)

Video of Ice Ice Baby.

Notice a couple of the things he said during the song : “Cookin’ MCs like a pound of bacon.”  That’s really throwin’ the smack down, huh?  I know he’s just rambling most of the time, but it is part of the lyrics to the song.  At least he’s talking about bacon, which is cool.

And he also said, “My style’s like a chemical spill.”  WHAT?!?  What is that supposed to mean?  Is he saying his style is a mess?  And not only a mess, but something that cannot be cleaned up?  Crazy…

While on this topic, there’s also a video on YouTube of Jim Carrey doing a parody of this song, from the show In Living Color.  (This video is clean and funny.)

Will it blend?

You might’ve heard of the website called .  It’s a collection of videos where they use a Blendtec blender and try to blend all sorts of objects.  In a way, it’s like one of those stupid games you might see on David Letterman, but this is better than most of that stuff.  It has the look and feel of an old TV game show, which is neat in a retro sort of way.  But what sets this apart from other websites is how random and unusual it is.  Have you ever wanted to put non-food items in a blender to see what happens?  The guy in these videos gets to do it for his job!  And he does a good job, possessing a super cheesy smile while various items are being blended into a big mess.

Some of the things they’ve blended are a dozen , 6 Bic lighters (which creates an interesting explosion), even an (which he then put on eBay with a blender and it sold for $901), , a , , a can of soup, (really), , (which create cool glass dust), and much more.

The latest video is bad guys versus Chuck Norris.  Since the real Chuck Norris was unavailable at the time, he used action figures.  He tossed several bad guys and Chuck Norris in the blender, to let them duke it out in there.  The results are amazing.

Perhaps I need to get one of these blenders, because they look like a lot of fun…
