Right-Wing Facebook

Right-Wing Facebook

Now here’s some political parody that I can appreciate. Check out the satire of the Right-Wing Facebook. If it seems a little too truthful, that’s because it’s meant to get a few messages across to a sometimes under-informed American public. The Right-Wing Facebook parody site is a project by People For the American Way and RightWingWatch.org – two of my favorite sites. Rudy Giuliani Has Added You as a Friend on Right Wing Facebook 10/19/07 – At the Voters Value…

We went to see George Carlin at the Fox Theater last night. I wore black to honor his traditional uniform. It was a good time, but we noticed that his new rants are less specific.

So many of my friends emailed this to me that I had to think I’m either a kind of Mommy-archetype for my friends, or it had to be a very fun video. I think (I think) it’s the latter. A woman condenses everything a mom would say in a typical 24-hour period into the framework of the William Tell Overture.
