Los Angeles, CA -- Best Music Video Ever?

The Barenaked Ladies have posted a user-submitted video for their single, "Wind it Up," on their website.

It's phenomenal. Song's great, too.

Why don't I own this album yet?

Los Angeles, CA -- Two Liberals at It Again

Not content with the Dems' victory in Tuesday's election, Terk and I plan total domination (Mark Foley we ain't):

Jkix (3:53:09 PM): i think Dean should be fired
SkiVt18 (3:53:15 PM): why?
Jkix (3:53:19 PM): Jim Carville said so
SkiVt18 (3:53:29 PM): we got the House and Senate
SkiVt18 (3:53:33 PM): i'm not complaining
Jkix (3:53:46 PM): he said we would've done so much better with someone better than Dean
Jkix (3:53:55 PM): he's trying to push Harold Ford to replace Dean
SkiVt18 (3:54:04 PM): WTF!
Jkix (3:54:09 PM): when in doubt, always believe Carville, right?
SkiVt18 (3:54:18 PM): i like carville
SkiVt18 (3:54:25 PM): but if he's looking to make a DLCer the chairman
Jkix (3:54:31 PM): i've thought he's an ass for quite some time
SkiVt18 (3:54:34 PM): then we know he doesn't knwo what he's talking about
Jkix (3:54:47 PM): he's been against Dean from the start
Jkix (3:54:52 PM): both he and Begala
SkiVt18 (3:55:09 PM): what does Bob Shrum say?
Jkix (3:55:31 PM): "I'm an eight-time loser"
SkiVt18 (3:55:35 PM): besides that
Jkix (3:55:37 PM): dunno
SkiVt18 (3:55:42 PM): b/c i think we should see what Shrum and Brazile say
Jkix (3:55:43 PM): but do the opposite
SkiVt18 (3:55:46 PM): and do the opposite
Jkix (3:55:49 PM): exactly
SkiVt18 (3:56:41 PM): well maybe if Carville were out running some campaigns like he does so well, instead of sitting in a CNN studio the whole election season, we would have done better
SkiVt18 (3:57:44 PM): but we could have done better
SkiVt18 (3:57:54 PM): i mean we basically won by not being the Republicans
SkiVt18 (3:57:58 PM): and this year, that was enough
SkiVt18 (3:58:20 PM): we had not unified national message that all our candidates were running on
Jkix (3:58:24 PM): that, and by putting forth some good candidates and candidates into every race we could
SkiVt18 (3:58:26 PM): we had no "contract with america"
Jkix (3:58:40 PM): well, we did have some message, but we couldn't really get the media's attention
Jkix (3:58:46 PM): we weren't in the narrative
SkiVt18 (3:58:54 PM): we needed a narrative
SkiVt18 (3:59:09 PM): we needed a "Contract With America" or our own
SkiVt18 (3:59:16 PM): i mean obviously dont call it that
Jkix (3:59:18 PM): "Raise minimum wage, get out of Iraq as soon as we can, end corruption"
SkiVt18 (3:59:22 PM): but we needed some kind of gimmick like that
Jkix (3:59:27 PM): those were the things being said
Jkix (3:59:35 PM): yeah, but those things are kinda rare
SkiVt18 (3:59:38 PM): it wasn't in a document
Jkix (3:59:40 PM): true
SkiVt18 (3:59:49 PM): the Contract With America was an actual contract
SkiVt18 (4:00:00 PM): candidates signed it
Jkix (4:00:04 PM): ooh I know!
Jkix (4:00:06 PM): I know!
SkiVt18 (4:00:13 PM): that's what we needed
Jkix (4:00:18 PM): "Treaty with the Terrorists!"
SkiVt18 (4:00:25 PM): a unified nantion plan with specifically spelled out planks
SkiVt18 (4:00:45 PM): and most Dems weren't actually saying "get out of iraq"
SkiVt18 (4:00:53 PM): they were using all these euphamisms
Jkix (4:01:08 PM): for '08 we should definitely use my idea
SkiVt18 (4:01:09 PM): like a "strategic redeployment"
SkiVt18 (4:01:16 PM): or "a new direction"
SkiVt18 (4:01:19 PM): or a "new plan"
SkiVt18 (4:01:50 PM): most weren't actually saying "get all our troops the hell out of there right now"
SkiVt18 (4:01:57 PM): that's the only plan we need
Jkix (4:01:57 PM): don't you like my idea?
SkiVt18 (4:02:08 PM): whats your idea now
Jkix (4:02:12 PM): my document
Jkix (4:02:19 PM): "Treaty with the Terrorists"
Jkix (4:03:00 PM): that or we just photocopy the Communist Manifesto
Jkix (4:03:18 PM): and cross out "Communist" and write "Pelosi" with a Sharpie
Jkix (4:03:54 PM): i'm smarter than all of these Washington elitists
SkiVt18 (4:04:08 PM): uh huh
Jkix (4:04:10 PM): after that, perhaps a series of "Five Year Plans"
Jkix (4:04:47 PM): we so should be Democratic consultants
SkiVt18 (4:05:35 PM): dont even know how one becomes one
SkiVt18 (4:05:46 PM): we'd need some purges too
Jkix (4:06:13 PM): let's get on them... maybe a putsch
SkiVt18 (4:06:46 PM): oh and what's all this bi-partisanship talk
Jkix (4:07:00 PM): whatever the case, we're looking to speak Arabic and have all our women in burkas... we're Democrats, dammit!

Albany, NY -- Just a Typical Liberal Conversation

A conversation a few minutes ago between Terk and me:

SkiVt18 (12:56:11 PM): rain on election day is bad
Jkix (12:56:21 PM): yup
Jkix (12:56:57 PM): those poor black people whose votes we liberals buy with our insidious social programs won't come out
Jkix (12:57:12 PM): we keep them at the government teat
SkiVt18 (12:57:20 PM): of course we do
Jkix (12:57:26 PM): we don't want them to succeed on their own, because then they won't vote for us
SkiVt18 (12:57:34 PM): well obviously not
SkiVt18 (12:57:52 PM): oh gallup has Testy up 9
Jkix (12:58:01 PM): good
SkiVt18 (12:58:12 PM): but it's gonna rain in VA
Jkix (12:58:22 PM): it's raining in my heart
SkiVt18 (12:58:31 PM): uh huh
SkiVt18 (12:58:37 PM): i don't care....there's no voters in there
SkiVt18 (12:59:02 PM): wait...can you pull some voters out of there
SkiVt18 (12:59:07 PM): i think they used to in chicago
Jkix (12:59:09 PM): heh
Jkix (1:00:42 PM): it's raining in my pants
SkiVt18 (1:01:08 PM): when they say the Dems need 15 house seats
SkiVt18 (1:01:16 PM): are they counting Bernie Sanders as a Dem?
Jkix (1:01:21 PM): dunno
SkiVt18 (1:02:32 PM): you know Jim Moran that congressman from virginia?

Jkix (1:04:30 PM): dunno
SkiVt18 (1:05:02 PM): cool no rain tomorrow in NY
SkiVt18 (1:05:04 PM): just clouds
Jkix (1:05:16 PM): hooray voting welfare queens!
SkiVt18 (1:05:48 PM): plus, all the illegal immigrants will vote
Jkix (1:06:18 PM): woo hoo!
Jkix (1:06:36 PM): soon we'll be able to cut and run and raise taxes on everyone!!!
SkiVt18 (1:06:48 PM): yay
SkiVt18 (1:07:07 PM): and the terrorists will follow us here
SkiVt18 (1:07:19 PM): i've been wanting them to come over here all this time!
Jkix (1:08:17 PM): this country will be the Islamic utopia we liberals have always dreamed of!!!
SkiVt18 (1:08:38 PM): Gallup only has Corky up 3
Jkix (1:08:47 PM): saw that
SkiVt18 (1:10:18 PM): also, how can you vote against the republicans
SkiVt18 (1:10:21 PM): they just won the war
SkiVt18 (1:10:30 PM): didnt you hear...saddam got convicted
Jkix (1:11:15 PM): NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Jkix (1:11:22 PM): MY HERO!!! NOOOOOOOO
SkiVt18 (1:11:40 PM): he's your hero?
SkiVt18 (1:11:45 PM): not osama?
Jkix (1:11:59 PM): I can have two heros, can't I?
SkiVt18 (1:12:03 PM): no
SkiVt18 (1:12:19 PM): you have to pick which one is the greatest ally of the democrats
Jkix (1:12:24 PM): ah
Jkix (1:12:55 PM): well, we liberals aren't loyal anyway, and if Saddam's about to die, I guess I'll just move on to Osama
Jkix (1:13:17 PM): we Communists are so two-faced... don't you love it?
