Ben Affleck Spoofs Olbermann on SNL

Yes, another SNL posting.  They’ve had some of interest lately.  This one is Ben Affleck doing his impersonation of Keith Olbermann’s Countdown program.  Spot on spoof, though if you haven’t forced yourself to suffer through Countdown before you won’t understand the spoof.

Video: McCain’s Apperance on SNL

In case anyone missed the McCain appearance on Saturday Night Live last night, here are the clips.  This wasn’t publicised as well as Palin’s appearance, but I did find it to be very humorous.  Preliminary ratings show a 9.0 rating/20 share according to Neilsen.  It’s the second best showing for SNL since 1997.  The best is still Palin’s appearance which got 10.7 rating/24 share.

Palin Hanging by a Noose in Southern California

First we had Obama hanging by a noose.  Now someone thought it might be appropriate to hang Palin by a noose.  Either way it’s a symbol of outright hatred and total disrespect.  In my opinion, it is inappropriate either way.  When one cannot fight a political opponent with words and ideas, they resort to symbols such as this.  It only weakens your position and it makes you look foolish.

CNN wrote an article back in November of 2007, after the Jena, Louisiana noose incident.  They point out how such symbols are designed to incite hatred.  I don’t care if it is Halloween, it was wrong when it was done to Obama, and it is wrong in this situation as well.  What ever happened to decent political discourse?  Politics has devolved into insults and threats.  We really need to work on making America a better place, not ripping it apart.

Palin on Saturday Night Live

Here’s the video links from Sarah Palin’s appearance on SNL.  I don’t think it was anything earth-shatteringly bad or good for her campaign.  If anything it makes her look a bit more like an everyday person, but then again that’s not been a weak point for her thusfar anyhow.  What’s everyone else think?

One comment, what do you think?

Racist Obama Effigy Hanging from Noose in Tree

I am certainly no fan of Obama, but it has nothing to do with his race.  I believe racism is wrong (and it also goes both ways).  I’m not sure if this report is for real or if it is someone just trying to get a rise out of people, but either way it’s wrong.

An Ohio resident has hung an effigy of Obama in a noose on his property (video below).  While I respect everyone’s right to express themselves, this makes me disgusted.  It is sad to see this happen in our state.  And, look at this blog posting and see this blog report to observe the two-way nature of this rediculous nonsense.  Sorry folks, but this outlandish racism needs to stop from both parties!
