'The Golden Age of Video' by Ricardo Autobahn

Love is a Battlefield (Literal Version)

The key to a really good "literal video" is humor and dead-on vocalization. This example is funny but the vocal is horrible. (who could sing as well as Pat Benatar?) Check out the voice over work during the silly dance break.

Tick-tock, Mr. Arpaio.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has stripped Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio of his authority to arrest suspected illegal immigrants based solely on their immigration status.

Full article here.

“It’s all politics,” Arpaio said.

Truer words were never crafted for maximum media impact!

Christianist "Artist" Insults Martin Luther King Jr.

With the recent news the Bible is being re-written to suit wing-nut principles (as understood by early twenty-first century conservatives), I came across this website and threw up in my mouth just a little.

Everything that is contempo-conservative is aligned with Jesus. Everything bad in the world is secular and liberal. Subtle.

Here's the kicker; a soldier is named "King" in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King was a pacifist. To paint him as a soldier is historically ignorant and insulting to his memory. BTW, among the dozens of personages only three are of color. The artist went through alot of "flesh" colored paint to get this hum-dinger done.

Arpaio luvs the Headlines, Until they Nail Him

Sheriff Joseph M. Arpaio had issues with a recent article in the Arizona Republic so he took the paper to task on his "Sheriff Fights Back" blog. Apparently he "fights back" against media accounts of his administration often, there's a special section called, "The Truth Behind the Headlines."

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is using money earmarked for fighting crime on vehicles for Sheriff Joe Arpaio, top commanders and select deputies to drive back and forth to work, recordsobtained by The Arizona Republic show.

The Sheriff's department responds to the article with a rhetorical version of "three card monty" that could qualify the department for metaphoric prosecution under the RICO statue mentioned in the Republic piece.

It is well known by observing Mr. Arpaio's  behavior that he suffers from a compulsion to seek attention and adoration.  Mr. Arpaio should resign from office and seek appropriate medical care before his already long life comes to and end. He's ruined the department, maybe he can redeem his life.
