This world-famous vaudeville routine was performed by comic team Abbott and Costello in the late 1930's. In it, Lou Costello asks his partner, Bud Abbott, to tell him the names of the players on the St. Louis baseball team. They have very unusual names, and the confusion they cause Lou Costello is truly hilarious. The routine is brilliant and, although extremely difficult to deliver, it was masterfully done by the team. It is, arguably, the best comedy routine of all time.
Some of you will remember this, as it was replayed on TV for many years. There is nothing like it anymore. For those seeing it for the first time, I guarantee it will have you rolling on the floor with laughter. Turn up your volume and enjoy!
The '60s comedy show, starring British Comedian Benny Hill, was a smash success. Here's a short video from the show that illustrates why you should be careful what you wish for.
In November 2008, millions of Americans voted for Barack Obama based on his promise of "HOPE" and "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN". They put their sacred trust in, not only the President, but the Congress as well. Little more than a year later, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FEEL BETRAYED by an arrogant Administration and Congress hellbent on enacting their agenda, despite the thunderous outcries of the people. And the people are truly scared about our future. The video, below (author unknown), is a powerful review of the past year with President Obama and Congress and what lies ahead in the next election. This is a must view!

As we enjoy our three day weekend with family and friends, keep in mind what this holiday means. The purpose of Memorial Day is to remember those who have served, sacrificed and died to keep our country free. As we light our grills, enjoy our food and kick back, remember how much we owe these brave men and women, many who are in harm's way at this moment. Consider attending a nearby Memorial Day ceremony at a National Cemetery or some other place near you. Remember our heroes this Memorial Day...
As you know, Arizona recently passed a bill, SB1070, which tasks Arizona state and local law enforcement to crack down on illegal immigrants. The Arizona legislature felt compelled to write this law, which is merely a restricted version of the federal law, because the Federal Government has, thus far, refused to enforce their own law. The resulting swarm of illegal immigrants into Arizona has led to record crime, kidnapping and murder in the state.
The Obama administration, embarrassed and feeling its toes stepped on (65 percent of Americans support this bill), instantly began a public relations campaign to slander and denounce the bill, stating it will violate Constitutional protection from unreasonable search and seizure and lead to racial profiling. Of course, the bill will do nothing of the kind and has specific language to prevent such actions. It turns out Administration officials who were the most vocal in criticizing the bill (Attorney General Eric Holder, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and others) had never even read it!
Recently, the state of Arizona began its own public relations campaign to counter the negative campaigns being waged against it by the Federal Government and other agencies. The state created a short satirical video focusing on this issue. Check it out below.
