Hot Midterm Action
Sure, it’s football season, but who can concentrate on football when it’s midterm election season too? If you said Democrats, score one for you. With the Republicans all excited about their Tea Party candidates, and liberals in a lover’s squabble with their fearless leaders, it all but seems the outcome is certain. Of course, that’s what they said about the Giants and the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. Could Nancy Pelosi be the next Eli Manning?

The Real Fake Housewives of New Jersey
If you don’t watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and therefore didn’t see the blow up on the reunion show, and therefore obviously have no class, you can watch it here (it gets real about 3:00 in). Then check out this parody. Although, when your subjects are more outrageous than any parody can be, is it parody or homage?

Do The Maths
This faux British educational video tackles the worst subject the human race has ever invented: math. Forgive the bias (I can’t add or subtract numbers higher than nine) but, really, it is. Yet, somehow, this video makes math seem like the best comedic subject short of the Palin family. Well done, old chaps!
