Eye Aprove This Massage
Political campaign ads are the opposite of Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates: you always know exactly what you’re going to get.
Except with this one. What this candidate lacks in polish, intelligence and everything else, he makes up for in honesty. He’s also hilarious (though unfortunately fake). If only there were a candidate like this in the New York Governor’s race…
Fat Al’s Tea Party Barn
Sure, it helps to have a vague idea of which issues you’re supposed to be angry about. But all you really need to seem legit at your next Tea Party rally is the right gear.

Teaching An Old Dog New Tricks
We all love dogs. Except for people who don’t (and do they really count as “people?”). But what’s the one thing that sucks the most about dogs? No matter how much you train them otherwise, at some point, they always die.
