How America’s Health Care System Used To Work

With the passing of the recent health-care legislation there’s been a lot of stupid people whining about having to pay for other people’s health-care. I hope this bill gives them all stomach ulcers.

This scene from the movie ‘John Q’ shows just how crooked the American insurance industry and health care system USED to work, and why America’s Republicans who voted against this bill Barack Obama signed into law should have their voting rights taken away as a penalty for liking an old system that allowed sick people to go uncared for.

In Honour of a Lezzer

I recently had the utmost privilege of becoming very close friends with the world’s most awesome lesbian. She kicks ass, and I”m hoping one day will have the sense to join the Canadian Forces and become one of a very select crowd of female aboriginal artillery officers. I’m wondering if there are any at all in North America.

Leona stayed at my house for about a week and we watched chick flicks, went to the bar and played pool at around 7pm when NOBODY was there. It was the most relaxing and fun time I’ve had in close to three years.

Anyway… everytime I hear the song ‘Saviour’ by Lights… I think of Leona and remember how awesome her lezzerness is. So here it it…

Stand By Me – Andy, Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora & Friends

Free MP3 download: Stand by Me - Andy Madadian ft. Bon Jovi (205)

On June 24, Iranian Superstar Andy Madadian went into an LA recording studio with Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and American record producers Don Was and John Shanks to record a musical message of worldwide solidarity with the people of Iran. This version of the old Ben E. King classic is not for sale – it was not meant to be on the Billboard charts or even manufactured as a CD…..it’s intended to be downloaded and shared by the Iranian people…to give voice to the sentiment that all people of the world stand together….the handwritten Farsi sign in the video translates to “we are one”. If you know someone in Iran – or someone who knows someone in Iran – please share this link

This or Beverley Knight?

This is a badass version of another song I got on my car system – except the version I got is by Beverley Knight.

Michael Jackson impersonators

About nineteen months ago I put up a post with a collection of the best Michael Jackson impersonators I’ve seen. Since then most of the videos have been taken down by their users.

Aside from the recent furore I’ve been a die-hard Jackson fan for the last twenty-five years and have listened to his music every day for pretty much the entire twenty-five years. Check my mp3 player in my car and you’ll find at least half a dozen songs on there plus another half dozen remixes. I’ve watched many many Michael Jackson impersonators. By far two of the best I’ve ever seen were some teenager who was performing at a highschool dance – the vid was on Youtube and the user removed it. The other one of course is Suleman Mirza who was on Britain’s Got Talent – his original performance blew me away.

Because the previous list got ruined by people removing their vids I decided to recreate it with different people.

Off the bat, this guy ‘Hafid’ is brilliant. If he used dress pants instead of jeans, had a fullsize fedora hat, and sharpened up his moves just ever so slightly he’d be close to the best.
