The ‘Fat Head’ movie looks good

August 14, 2009  ·  Category: Health, Humor

I haven't seen the Fat Head movie yet, but now I want to. Because these videos are great stuff. Bonus points for the libertarian anti-nanny-state themes that seem to run throughout. Thanks to Kirez for the tip.

No recession? We can still kvetch!

June 4, 2008  ·  Category: Humor, Intellectual, Politics

Will Wilkinson -- whom some of you may know by virtue of his attendance at some Objectivist seminars in the 1990s -- has some clever commentary over at American Public Radio: Keep complaining about the economy. What I want to know is, how do they manage to make everyone on public radio sound so unfailingly BOOKISH? You know the sound I'm talking about.

Dottie Casper, Tampa Bay’s Funniest Person

March 14, 2008  ·  Category: Humor, Personal

When I was a freshman in college, and still quite on fire over my discovery of Ayn Rand's novels, I remember cautiously bringing the subject up with my grandmother, during a phone conversation. "Lately I've really gotten into Ayn Rand's novels," I said. "Have you ever read them -- The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged?" I expected her to react, as most people seemed to do, with a kind of thinly-veiled condescension, perhaps saying she thinks she read them once but can't remember what they were about, or (much worse) something like "Yeah, I liked them in college too, but ...

Ferguson Speaks from the Heart

February 11, 2008  ·  Category: Current Events, Humor, Reviews

My thanks to Andrew Schwartz for pointing out this excellent example of sincerity and integrity. That video clip is pretty funny, as well.

More stand-up comics like this one, please.

Chez Zader When Kathy Is Out of Town

January 5, 2008  ·  Category: Humor, Personal

Kathy usually feeds our cats each morning, which is great -- except when she's out of town. And this is a pretty good script for how I wake up in the morning when she's gone. There's some seriously good cat psychology in this video. H/T Diana.
