Miércoles Música: Requiem (for a laugh)

6:25 pm By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Bizarro| Funny| Music · Comments Off

25 Feb 2009

Now that VL is past the attacks and back in action, we are super happy around here. So happy, that we want to share the joy and what better way to do so than with music? I thought this amazing piece of audiovisual work would put you in the dancing mood on this, the humpiest of days, Wednesday. Plug in your audífonos, turn your screen away from the boss’ view and get ready for Requiem.

Am I the only one who actually remembers this song and video?

Bush Street in San Francisco is one of my favorite thoroughfares — in spite of the name. In this, the dawn of the Obama age and the end of the Bush era, a few concerned San Franciscans thought it only fitting to change the name of that street to reflect our current political reality:

The San Francisco-based organization Concerned Republicans Assaulting Posterity (C.R.A.P.) is claiming full and complete responsibility for the street sign changing of Bush Street to Obama Street the morning of Tuesday, January 20. A small but mighty group of about 40 fairly intelligent individuals joined together Monday evening and distributed the signs amongst C.R.A.P. members and loyalists in an unusual moment of solidarity with Barack Obama supporters.

The group began changing the signs shortly after midnight. “Even though at first we thought Bush Street was named for our beloved Bush family, we realized that wasn’t true after we did some reading,” said one shirtless and bearded group member, who called himself Molotov II. “We wanted to show people that even we and our world renown organization, vehement supporters of the Republican party — we believe 92 percent of all Democrats are dirty — we are all still Americans, just like Mexico said on 9/11.

Check out the video after the jump for “The Making of Obama Street”. There’s also a group on Flickr for photos of the urban transition.

Oops! Jill Biden Spills the Beans

7:36 am By Maegan La Mala · Chismes| Controversia| Funny| Politics · Comments Off

Well I’m guessing Hillary isn’t too happy with this:

Did you see how red Joe Biden got? Talk about loose lips sink ships.

Jill Biden said on the Oprah show that she wanted her husband to be vice president instead of secretary of state, chiefly because it would involve less travel.

“If you’re secretary of state, you’ll be away, we’ll never see you, you know,” she said, describing how she and her husband had talked about it.

“I’ll see you at a state dinner once and awhile. But I said, if you are vice president, the entire family, because they worked so hard for the election, they can be involved. They can come to our home. They can go to events, they can be with us all the time. And that’s what’s important to us,” she said.

Biden, seated at his wife’s side, looked sheepish and tried to shush his wife after she made the remark.

So the scenario looks like it played out like this: Obama asked Biden which job he wanted, and Hillary got sloppy seconds. Damn.

Saturday Silliness : Write Your Own Obama Inauguration Speech

11:46 am By Maegan La Mala · Funny| Politics · Comments Off

17 Jan 2009

barack-obama.jpgHave you ever listened to a politician give a speech and asked: “Who writes this stuff” or ” I could write a better speech”. Well now you can try your hand writing President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration speech, Mad Libs style with the Inauguration Speech Generator.

Here’s what I got:

Barack Obama’s Inauguration Speech

My fellow Americans, today is a chevere day. You have shown the world that “hope” is not just another word for “justicia”, and that “change” is not only something we can believe in again, but something we can actually luchar.

Today we celebrate, but let there be no mistake – America faces bonito and feo challenges like never before. Our economy is heavy. Americans can barely afford their mortgages, let alone have enough money left over for zapatos. Our healthcare system is worrisome. If your tetas is sick and you don’t have insurance, you might as well call a blogger. And America’s image overseas is tarnished like a balloon toy. But singing together we can right this ship, and set a course for Queens.

Finally, I must thank my sexy family, my curious campaign volunteers, but most of all, I want to thank Latinos for making this historic occasion possible. Of course, I must also thank you, President Bush, for years of talking the American people. Without your fresh efforts, none of this would have been possible.

My 11 year old’s is after the jump.

Cubana Congresista Hangs Up On Obama Twice

7:53 am By Maegan La Mala · Florida| Funny| Politics · Comments Off

160px-Ileana_Ros-Lehtinen_Congressional_Portrait.jpgWe’re sure Florida Republican Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is feeling pretty boba this morning since she hung up on the President to be, not once, pero twice.

According to Ros-Lehtinen’s flack Alex Cruz, the congresswoman received the call on her cell phone from a Chicago-based number and an aide informed her that Obama wanted to speak to her. When Obama introduced himself, Ros-Lehtinen cut him off and said, “I’m sorry but I think this is a joke from one of the South Florida radio stations known for these pranks.” Then she hung up.

Moments later, Obama tried again, this time through his soon-to-be chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel.

“Ileana, I cannot believe you hung up on the President-Elect,” Emanuel said. And then–yes, you know what’s coming–she hung up on Emanuel saying she “didn’t believe the call was legitimate.”

A short time later, Ros-Lehtinen received an urgent call from Rep. Howard Berman (D-Calif.), the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, who informed her that she indeed hung up on Obama.

It’s no surprise/secret that la Mala is no big fan of la Sarah Palin pero, you can’t help but feel a little bad for her as she gets tricked into thinking she’s speaking to French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

With just one day before election day (AHHHHHH!), this one goes out to all the undecided white women voters, and before you all start screaming about how racist I am for saying “white women voters”, I’m just quoting the hottest new boy band, Boybama.

With only 10 days left till election day, Voto Latino shows us in episode three on their online novela, that not registering may cause sex tapes and Vegas marriages.

Por lo menos Barack Obama knows how to poke fun at himself (and John McCain) at last night’s Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner here in NYC. I can’t see McCain being able to pull something like this off. Also peep, NYC D.A. and even more viejo than McCain, R. Morgenthau in the back. Is he falling asleep at one point?
