There is need in human life for levity. So, enjoy your time here in leisurely frivolity, where no Puritan can condem you (except in the comments section, of course).Wednesday, August 31, A.D. 2011
Rhetoric in Court
Eric Idle’s best Monty Python sketch might have been his day in court (please excuse the Hungarian subtitles):
The comically absurd is but an exaggeration of absurd actuality.

Village Idiots
Monty Python week continues with the “Village Idiots”:
I love to watch John Cleese. Like Tom Baker, Lucille Ball, and Dick Van Dyke, his mere presence on the screen makes me smile.

Rich Men Talk
This week, Arimathea celebrates Monty Python, starting with some class based one-upmanship:
They were good.

Modern Mother and Daughter
Here is the French and Saunders skit that launched Absolutely Fabulous:
“It is possible to be a socialist and have staff, you know, darling!”

Poor Abe Foxman
Over the next several days, Arimathea will celebrate “heeb week” in honor of the world’s most interesting ethne. As such, enjoy the following 90’s treat from The Onion, “Jewish Anti-Deprecation League Protests New Woody Allen Movie”:
The JADL is decrying Allen’s portrayal of the film’s lead character, Reuben Hirschhorn, a Columbia University creative-writing professor who, despite achieving considerable personal and career success, is plagued by severe self-doubt, hypochondria, perceived sexual inadequacies, an inability to commit to long-term relationships, existential angst, an obsessive fear of death, and disturbing dreams involving his overbearing mother making chicken soup for Nazi propaganda minister Josef Goebbels.
Read the rest. I never tire of saying that I love The Onion.

Spenditol
My friend Andrew sent me this delightful advertisement for the panacea Spenditol:
Lovely. I would like to know why this level of quality is so rare for political ads. This is America; we have a huge industry in Manhattan and in Hollywood that specializes in entertaining manipulation. Are well crafted, witty ads too expensive for most campaigns?
