Another political ad season is drawing near, so it is time to start giggling at some of the funniest or most ridiculous of the lot, as well as parodies. Here's a great start :)
Bad Lip Reading, an anonymous group of video editors and parodists, took scenes from Rick Perry's ad announcing his candidacy and cleverly replaced his words with what he appears (to them) to say
(click on the links at the end of the video for more silliness from them, or click here.)
In the interest of equal time, here's "Trick the Bridesmaid," featuring President Obama, also by them
Seeing these reminded me of (apparently former) YouTuber Buffalax, who was known years ago for making hilarious mondegreen "translations" of popular Indian and Middle Eastern music videos, subtitling them with what he perceived the singers to be saying in English. He seems to have disappeared or been banned from YouTube, but others have reposted some of his stuff for posterity. This is one of his best
Another silly Buffalaxed video preserved by a fan - Tunak Tunak Tun
Internet people are so funny :)

10 years ago...
...I was waiting in the left turn lane of Goldenrod Road to turn onto University Boulevard on my way to work. Heard the news from Howard Stern
Audio of the Howard Stern Show as the attacks began
Got to work a few minutes after the first plane hit. Heard and saw the second plane hit there. Gave chemo all day while the TV was on. Everyone - patients, family, practitioners, staff - trying to continue while chaos ensued, our hearts collectively breaking.
After work, got home and made the mistake of turning on the BBC, which was showing footage of jumpers and fallers that was not shown on American TV. Fell apart.
Visited the site in Manhattan in 2003 and was shocked by the size of the hole and the unrepaired damage to it and the surrounding buildings. Was sickened by the vendors hawking “souvenirs” at the site. I wanted to hurt them. Reminded me of Jesus in the temple.
Nothing else to say here that isn't being said more eloquently by millions of others elsewhere.
