Mr. Trololo says, in his own unique way, “life is good!” In his case, it was good despite chafing under the yoke of Soviet-era Russia.
This video went viral about 18 months ago. At first I didn’t recognize it when it was pointed out to me today, but then I remembered watching this segment of The Colbert Report.

Last night Jon Stewart had another good opening monologue.
Mitt Romney will be the GOP Presidential candidate, and I’m betting he’ll win the White House. The Tea Party won’t want him because he’s a Mormon and he enacted Romneycare, but he’s OK with the money guys, so he’s in. Romney should make fellow Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown his running mate, and then Democrat Elizabeth Warren will go to the United States Senate. I bumped into Romney once, literally, when he was Governor of Massachusetts, and as I pointed out a long time ago, Romney has a Pratt in his past.
This is just so much fun. Colbert is my guy.
The diminutive Robert Reich, standing tall on his soapbox.
I’m amused by the GOP argument that the wealthiest 1% of Americans won’t work as hard if they don’t get more money, because they’re borrowing the union idea of a work slowdown.
Here in Massachusetts, Obama was arrested for drunk driving and he’ll be deported to Kenya. It’s true! The story is at this link.
[Officer] Krishtal said he was on Waverly Street headed toward South Street when his police car was cut off. Krishtal pulled the SUV over around 7:10 p.m. Obama failed several field sobriety tests and was arrested. At the police station, Obama failed a Breathalyzer test, registering .14. The state legal limit is .08. Obama was charged with driving under the influence of liquor and driving to endanger. He was also cited for not using a turn signal. Obama has a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement warrant for his arrest. ICE has previously ordered him to be deported back to Kenya.
Well, there you have it. The truth about Obama. Onyango Obama. He’s a drunk from Kenya, here illegally, and so back he goes.
Update: The other shoe has dropped on this story. Onyango Obama is reported to be the half-brother of President Obama’s father.
Here’s Rick Perry, sounding like a televangelist instead of a Presidential candidate.
“Biblical principles” of money management? It’s been decades since I spent any time studying the Bible, but this is what I remember Jesus saying about money:
Matthew 19:
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
Get rid of your Xbox 360! Goodbye, PS3! Give up your iPhone and your HDTV, too.
Matthew 21:
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Hmmm… what about bingo in church basements?
Matthew 22:
17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.
So pay your fair share of taxes, rich people!
Perry is praised for the economic success of Texas, and creating jobs, but I think he owes the money flowing into Texas to the oil flowing out of Texas. Right now the Lone Star state is a year into its worst drought ever. Perry’s been praying for rain, but it hasn’t worked. Perry made his famously reckless comment about Ben Bernanke’s management of the Federal Reserved being “almost treasonous…”
… but he doesn’t think the idea of Texas seceding from the United States can be considered treasonous?
And oh, by the way, the unemployment rate here in Massachusetts is lower than in Texas.
