I find myself posting about stuff that is on the continuum between enraging and depressing. So, in the interest of having a little fun, I offer you this tidbit. Enjoy:

Hi, I couldn’t get the video to load (pro’ly just me, I am in a Furrin Country), so I went to YouTube and eventually got it.Totally was worth the wait — I will use some of Dogboy’s comebacks on my friends at the pool tomorrow. Thanks!
I consider Fiore’s work excellent for explaining important issues to others who are for some reason still relaying on the M$M and regardless of where they live.
Here’s Snuggly the Security Bear on being Cyber-Snuggly
I believe the equivalent effort in Canada is the ominous Crime Omnibus Bill. Today’s revelation appears to be that the Bill C-38 repeals Fair Wages & Hours of Labour Act. One place I go to read is 404SystemError (@404SystemError). Of course there’s much more.
Glad to give you some more ammunition for your conversations with your friends. After watching this cartoon, I decided to spend a few minutes to check out some others. I ended up spending more than an hour watching many (a worthy way to procrastinate on the other work I needed to do). I ended up posting four that I imho were the best. If you want to check them out: Our World Report. I also did a better job of giving Mark Fiore credit.
I am also in a furrin country but luckily had no issues, which I often do.
In my perusing, I’m surprised I missed the Cyber-Snuggly. There are so many good ones. As I didn’t give him credit in my post, I will here: The cartoonist’s name is Mark Fiore. He is super astute about politics and raises people’s awareness painlessly with fun animations. For his efforts he was awarded the Pulitizer Prize in 2010.
There’s a great Dog Boy series, that’s been occasionally shown on Liquid Television for years: It’s part actors, part clay-mation: Dog Boy looks kind of like a dog and acts a lot like one.
My favorite surreal moment was when Dog Boy’s next-door neighbor looked out his window at night and saw Dog Boy out in the yard, down on his hands and knees, digging a hole like dog would. The neighbor exclaimed “That guy’s crazy!” (And I thought: “Crazy?! Dog Boy?”)
