Colbert on the Iraqi Elections.

The following is from The Daily Show’s Stephen Colbert on the Iraqi Election:

A high turnout less than fifty dead, doesn’t get any better than this…
The birth of a Democracy is like any birth, it’s not for the faint-hearted. You can’t let the panic and the hot stink of fear that fills the room distract you from the goal… pushing that thing out.
Lady Liberty may curse at you and tell you that she hates you and her eyes may go wild like a mindless animal but you stay the course. And when the still soft head of representative government emerges from the draconian stained voting both like some wet hairless rat you’ll be able to look at it and say “That’s mine, I maid that.” Even if it clearly looks Asian because at that point you can convince yourself of anything.

To Freak or Not to Freak?

Principal Bennett of Lemoore Union High School in California has thrown down the gauntlet and demanded and end to all Freak Dancing. Bennett pulled a trick out of the 1980’s (ala Footlose the film) and threatened the students last month here is where CNN picks up the story:
Bennett told the students either quit dirty dancing or face the possibility of not dancing at all. But he said the students continued “freak dancing,” a form of sexually suggestive dancing that involves grinding the hips and pelvic area.
The ban on dances includes the school’s Sadie Hawkins dance in February and the junior and senior proms in the spring, but Bennett said they could be rescheduled if students modify their behavior.

I think the principal should stop acting like the Nazi’s in Swing Kids and just let them dance.
