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!”

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?

Fey on the Greek Protests
I just recently watched segments from the Saturday Night Live show hosted by Betty White—fourteen months after it aired. I am from Cincinnati; it takes us some time to get around to things. As usual, I most enjoyed the Weekend Update segment, especially Tina Fey’s commentary on the Greek crisis:
I love Fey’s line: “I love you, Greeks, but you need to make some changes. Your retirement age is fifty-four. Really? Greek people in America work the register at the diner until they die.”

Buzzed
Auster showcased a remarkable video this week of Buzz Aldrin’s manly response to a badgering moron: “A lunar traveler deals with a lunatic.” A crazed conspiracy theorist pestered Aldrin for sometime before he called the national (and international) hero a coward and a liar. After that, the elderly astronaut elevated his response to the jerk.
Normally, I strongly disapprove of bodily violence in response to name calling, but I feel that Mr. Moon’s punch was well deserved by Mr. Idiot. Perhaps, I account a greater dignity to Mr. Aldrin due to his character, accomplishments, and age. Therefore, when an ostensibly inferior fool insults him so, the injustice of the taunt is greater than normal verbal abuse by a stranger. So, the appropriate retaliation may exceed verbal boundaries. I doubt that our laws agree; for we do not live in an honorable regime. Nonetheless, no charges were filed. Cheers for the local authorities!
My favorite recent YouTube comment: “Nine people have been sucker-punched by Buzz Aldrin” in response to the nine people who had chosen “dislike” for the video. Commenting on the number of dislikes is a theme on YouTube, and I often find those comments rather entertaining.

Ching-Chong-Ling-Long
Gavin McInnes has a humorous piece in Taki’s Magazine that mentions the opening of Ching-Chong-Ling-Long Gourmet Takeout, “You’ve Come a Ching-Chong-Ling-Long Way, Baby” The food service catering to U.C.L.A. students takes its name from Alexandra Wallace’s anthropological commentary.
At first, our epicanthic friends ran amok, but it is good to see that good humored greed has, like, totally brought them back down to earth, you know?
Anyway, my favorite part of McInnes’ rant is his closing homage to Irish fury. Those dear micks . . .

Tosh to Thugs
Daniel Tosh has a delightful response to one of America’s youth.
What should we call this? The new unapologetic bourgeoisie? We need more of it. For too long, rednecks and hillbillies have been the only less youthful demographic groups who have been confident in their lifestyle in the face of barbarism. The times are changing . . .

Maraka
Saturday Night Live excels at stupid parody. The following TV Funhouse segment is four years old, but it is one of my favorite S.N.L. shorts. You may enjoy it, especially if you have ever had to suffer the children’s television show, Dora the Explorer.
Fantástico!

Klavan’s One State Solution
Andrew Klavan presents his brilliant solution to the troubles of the Middle East:
I, for one, would rather have Bibi as our head of state. If we must have an Alien-in-Chief, I prefer a competent one that roots for the team that has hired him rather than for the opposition.
