This one is really wild, but make sure you read the info below before you view the video and turn up the volume if you can. This is a car advertisement from Great Britain. When they finished filming the ad, the film editor noticed something moving along the side of the car, like a ghostly white mist. They found out that a person had been killed a year earlier in that exact same spot. The ad was never put on TV because of the unexplained ghostly phenomenon. Watch the front end of the car closely as it clears the trees in the middle of the screen and you'll see the white mist crossing in front of the car then following it along the road....Spooky! Is it a ghost, or is it simply mist? You decide. If you listen to the ad, you'll even hear the cameraman whispering in the background about it near the end of the commercial. A little creepy but it seems to be authentic!
Role Reversal
In this video the guy in the red flannel shirt plays a sterotypical Conservative, which is the compete opposite of his real life position. Similary, the other guy is normally Super-Conservative, but plays the part of the stereotypical Liberal.
Amazing how much parody reflects reality.

A Ballad: The Lake of the Dismal Swamp
Thomas Moore 1779–1852
Written at Norfolk , in Virginia
A Ballad: The Lake of the
“They made her a grave, too cold
and damp
For a soul so warm and true;
And she’s gone to the Lake of the
Dismal Swamp ,
Where, all night long, by a
fire-fly lamp,
She paddles her white canoe.
“And her fire-fly lamp I soon
shall see,
And her paddle I soon shall hear;
Long and loving our life shall
be,
And I’ll hide the maid in a
cypress tree,
When the footstep of death is
near.”
Away to the Dismal
Swamp he speeds—
His path was rugged and sore,
Through tangled juniper, beds of
reeds,
Through many a fen where the
serpent feeds,
And man never trod before.
And when on the earth he sunk to
sleep,
If slumber his eyelids knew,
He lay where the deadly vine doth
weep
Its venomous tear and nightly
steep
The flesh with blistering dew!
And near him the she-wolf stirr’d
the brake,
And the copper-snake breath’d in
his ear,
Till he starting cried, from his
dream awake,
“Oh! when shall I see the dusky Lake ,
And the white canoe of my dear?”
He saw the Lake ,
and a meteor bright
Quick over its surface play’d—
“Welcome,” he said, “my dear
one’s light!”
And the dim shore echoed for many
a night
The name of the death-cold maid.
Till he hollow’d a boat of the
birchen bark,
Which carried him off from shore;
Far, far he follow’d the meteor
spark,
The wind was high and the clouds
were dark,
And the boat return’d no more.
But oft, from the Indian hunter’s
camp,
This lover and maid so true
Are seen at the hour of midnight damp
To cross the Lake
by a fire-fly lamp,
And paddle their white canoe!

On the Campaign Trail
Gettysburg Address
Mitt Romney Style
It was just a decade ago when I had my last four scores, Since that time I have brought forth on this continent a new nation of ignorance, indifference, bigotry and apathy. I hold no misconception about and will not abide by the foolish notion that all men are created equal. I've known a lot of men, and trust me, folks, some were more equal than others. Way more equaller.
Now we are engaged in a great Conservative war. We are testing whether this nation or any nation that came up with the silly notion that liberals and commie tree huggers and the uninsurable are something which we must endure.
When I am elected president, I intend to turn this land into a great battlefield where all of us gun totin', God fearing, animal killing, gay bashing members of the Conservative Movement along with the Christian Coalition will wrest this country back from the scourge of Liberalism. So help us Joseph Smith!
We are dedicated to making a portion of this land the final resting place for those liberals who will give their lives so our dream can live. It is not fitting or proper tor them to live among us.
The world will little note nor long remember what I say here, but thanks to Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck and the Faux News Network it will live on in sound bites for centuries.
It is for us the conservatives to be dedicated to our cause, the removal of all those pesky trees, the killing of all those whales just taking up space and fouling our water and air.
This is what I stand for today, these are my goals and my values. Be sure to check back tomorrow since they are likely to change.
