Hilarious, if only for the pouty, butthurt way these limp-wristed pseudo-intellectual leftist smug-snorters phrase their protestations. (CAUTION: foul language at the link – as if liberals could make jokes without it.)

And for extra super happy lucky bonus funny, let’s look at that oft-cited liberal humor icon Jon Stewart:

At the 32-second mark, note that his ultra-brilliant commentary on the situation’s political subtleties consists of making mumbly-jaw mockery of an old man’s speech patterns.

Truly a high-water mark for cleverly insightful left-wing satire.

Do you want to survive a zombie apocalypse?

Sure! We all do!

But it takes more than a large supply of ammo and a “Walking Dead” DVD collection. You have to arm yourself with facts:

When Zombies Attack!: Mathematical Modelling of an Outbreak of Zombie Infection (pdf)

By the way, if you don’t like reading pdf’s because Adobe is more annoying than a zombie infection, I recommend Foxit, which is free and comes as both a stand-alone reader and a Firefox add-on.

BONUS VIDEO: The 2012 National Debt Road Trip

[High Praise! to Deb]

I watched the 2009 version and had two reactions:

1) He makes dry, boring debt figures extremely interesting with his road trip analogy and clever visuals.

2) He scared the pants off me.

Still pantsless 3 years later, I watched the 2012 video and again had two reactions:

1) He still makes dry, boring debt figures extremely interesting with his road trip analogy and clever visuals.

2) Where Obama’s taking us, I won’t need pants.

You’ll understand that second one after you watch the video:

By the way, the 2009 version ended up with over a million views, so you’re getting in on the ground floor with this one. Tell your friends before they tell you.

Funny how my history teachers always managed to skip over this perfect example of the proper use of armed force to resist oppression:

“The Battle of Athens was an armed rebellion led by WWII veterans and citizens in Athens and Etowah, Tennessee, United States, against the tyrannical local government in August 1946.”

Wonder if this is related to the current adminstration’s obsession with “rightwing extremist activity”?

Just so you know, this video exhibits professional production values, and a tightly-edited script. Once you get past the opening title cards (which provide essential background information), it goes right to “can’t stop watching.”

UPDATE 4-5-12: Apparently this is a very shaved-down version of a movie called “An American Story.”

I notice it features G.W. Bailey, whom I recognized from his fine work in the Police Academy franchise.

Sequel idea: Hobo with a Shotgun with a Rainbow

This has been out for a while now, but I just found it, so it’s new to me. And since Tiny Minds is a relatively small (and now 3-months unupdated) blog, it’s probably new to you, too.

By the way, I’d like to offer some clarification for readers.

For Link of the Day, I’m not really looking for YouTube videos directly. The intent of this feature is more to send traffic to other blogs to reward them for posting thoughtful articles or funny pictures.

Maybe videos too, if the blogger in question adds some clever commentary that’s worthy of recognition.

I can’t read the entire internet by myself, so any help you guys can offer is appreciated.

Bacon! There’s nothing it can’t do!

Except maybe get eaten by terrorists.

REMINDER: Alpha Proxima Day starts at midnight. Remember to turn on all your lights so we can make up for all the darkness-worshiping hippies who will kneel in supplication to Earth Hour tomorrow at 8:30pm.

Electric power plants create good-paying American jobs. Especially the filthy coal-fired ones. Keep the economy stimulated.

Sand Flea is an 11-lb robot with one trick up its sleeve: Normally it drives like an RC car, but when it needs to it can jump 30 feet into the air. An onboard stabilization system keeps it oriented during flight to improve the view from the video uplink and to control landings. Current development of Sand Flea is funded by the The US Army’s Rapid Equipping Force. For more information visit www.BostonDynamics.com.

Kill 8 zombies without reloading, while still technically adhering to the double-tap rule.

If that’s too bulky for you, there’s another .45 with 2 barrels that weighs in at 14 ounces, but it only shoots one bullet at a time. However, it also has a 2-shot reload clip in the handle, so you can still double-dip on fun with the walking dead.

Man discovered that chickens were tasty.

Then he discovered that the wings made a delicious snack.

And now, finally, he has discovered how to eat that delicious snack without having to gnaw on tiny bones like his caveman ancestors:

I guess we know what’s on the menu for Alpha Proxima Day.

Coinciding with Earth Hour and Alpha Proxima Day, I declare this “Human Achievement Week” on the theory that the best response to uncivilized barbarians trying to drag you into the dark ages is a disproportionate response.

Let’s kick it off with a brief review of what Man has done so far to lift himself out of the lightless world the hippies want to drag us back into.

Note that it starts with fire.

[YouTube direct link] (Viewer #3,228)

As Howard Roark said:

“Thousands of years ago, the first man discovered how to make fire. He was probably burned at the stake he had taught his brothers to light. He was considered an evildoer who had dealt with a demon mankind dreaded. But thereafter men had fire to keep them warm, to cook their food, to light their caves. He had left them a gift they had not conceived and he had lifted darkness off the earth.”

A little video NASA made – finally, a COOL waste of taxpayer dollars!

It’s an animated representation of how the moon has changed over the last 4.5 billion years.

It starts a little slow (literally like watching lava dry), but around the 50 second mark, they start simulating very large meteor impacts, and big red mushroom clouds start going up all over the place.

As someone who’s shared Frank’s dream of nuking the moon for almost 10 years, I find this image very satisfying.

Apparently when it comes to international relations, Obama only has one stinking metaphor:

Afterwards, he figuratively walks the Danes out the Dalai Door by damning them with faint praise, so watch the whole thing.

We’ve been told by the media, so you know it’s true: Romney is unstoppable!

Have you seen the delegate count?

He already has 20 delegates, 7 of which are binding. And he’s only … let’s do the math real quick … 1,124 shy of securing the nomination. Unless the 13 non-binding delegates jump ship. Even then he’s still only 1,137 delegates shy of wrapping this whole thing up.

Rick Santorum, meanwhile, only has 12 non-binding delegates. That means he has to get all of 1,132 delegates and hope none of those 12 go elsewhere. Unpossible, I tell you!

Look at the numbers! 1,124 is less than 1,132. There’s no way Santorum can get such a large number in so short a period of time. And Romney? That small number he has to achieve and he’s got months to get that total. Unstoppable, I tell you!!

And don’t even get me started on how far Newt Gingrich or Rick Perry has to go. They’re both 20 delegates behind Romney.

Twenty!!1!!!!

But for the rest of the GOP field? Give it up. It’s over. Pack it in, fellas. There’s no way Romney can be stopped. He’s a juggernaut. Which is like an astronaut, but with jugs. Or maybe I’m thinking of something I saw on Mystery Science Theater 3000. Doesn’t matter. Romney can’t be stopped!

The Republican establishment is ready for you to come on board. The media is ready for you to come on board. They are ready to accept your support of Mitt Romney.
