Larry the Cable Guy Hates Our Troops

I am typically opposed to our government using torture, but everyone involved with this film needs a trip to Gitmo.

It's not enough that Dan Whitney has become a millionaire portraying a racist, homophobic white trash version of Stepin Fetchit, but now he has to insult our troops too, not to mention make a mockery of the disaster of historical proportions that our president has gotten us into? Whitney's target audience are the same people that elected Bush, now they're expected to laugh at the disaster they helped create? How come Whitney and the makers of this film get a free pass but John Kerry gets raked over the coals for one idiotic comment about the troops' intelligence? I am really just unable to process this.

Where the parallel ends

As a follow-up to my earlier post, here is a clip of Henry V's St. Crispin's Day speech from Branagh's film. As I briefly mentioned in the earlier post, any similarities between Prince Hal and W. end when Hal becomes king. Compare this speech with any of Bush's oratory.

Beatles - Shakespeare Skit

I am going to try to start posting some Shakespeare-related YouTube videos here. This is a great one to start with, bringing together England's two greatest cultural exports: Shakespeare and the Beatles.

This is apparently from some early-60s British comedy show. They are performing a section of Act V Scene I of A Midsummer Night's Dream, in which the rude mechanicals present their play of Pyramus and Thisbe at the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta.
