About 2 weeks ago, Noah asked me about the “Mahna Mahna” song from The Muppet Show, wondering if it was a Muppets original. I told him I had no idea.
Almost exactly thirty seconds later, after swimming through a series of tubes (no, I’m not going to stop making fun of Ted Stevens until that corrupt idiot is expelled, indicted, or dies) I had my answer. Thank you, Intertron!

The TAN Boys finally get around to discussing politics…but first they have to get through some really bad impressions, puzzle over internet celebrity, compare modern prime time TV to the classic Incredible Hulk series, get a little guest comedy form comedian/writer Orlando Bishop, discuss helmet wearing babies, and visit the internet’s crappiest website. Then, and only then are they prepared to lower the discourse of politics further than Fox News already has.

Sheena Easton – 9 to 5 (Morning Train)
I have varied taste in music, most of which my finacee claims is lame or old people music. I leave it up to you dear reader. Watch the video below and judge for yourself.
Is that like a onesy/jumpy suit she is wearing? Very attractive. I am not really sure why I like this song, it is just kind of catchy. I am watching this video and should she really be touching those levers? Is she trained in the science of trains? Did she go to conductor school? I don’t think she did. Now she is doing a little bit of pole dancing. Work it girl! With your kind of boyish haircut but she is still oddly kind of cute. There they go off into the sunset or whatever. So there it is a gay song I like, don’t judge. Stay tuned for more lame/old people music and a new Tancast is coming soon.
This time, the TAN boys discuss the inspiration that is Smodcast, lament rising gas prices, and make a serious effort to offend women and mothers everywhere…and come close to succeeding.

To all those political partisans currently resorting to histrionics and hand-waving: Failing to seat even a single delegate from Michigan or Florida at the Democratic National Convention is not in any way like Jim Crow laws or any other form of racist (or sexist) voter disenfranchisement.
I think this is an especially disingenuous claim to make since those who (or whose parents, grandparents, etc. ) were most oppressed are more likely to support Barack Obama than Hillary Clinton, and it is Clinton’s camp that is trying to conflate the Democratic National Committee’s punishment of Florida and Michigan for breaking their rules with slavery, Black Codes, and apartheid.
I know that the day-to-day reality of politics is said to be like making sausage, but here we have a candidate who had no objection to the Democratic National Committee’s decision to strip all of Florida’s delegates from August 2007 until just four days before the Florida primary in January 2008 (when she was polling ahead), and who then held 3 fundraisers two days before the primary despite signing a pledge not to campaign in that state. Worse, her official change of heart happened 10 days after the Michigan primary, where she was the only major candidate who had not removed her name from the ballot.
I can no longer say “I’m happy with both candidates, despite having a preference,” because Clinton’s win-at-any-cost behavior has made me rethink just how much she is committed to making America better versus committed to being in power.
An oft-misquoted adage goes “The love of money is the root of all (kinds of) evil,” but I think if Paul had thought hard he would have told Timothy that it is really the love of power that leads to these evils. Money is rarely an end unto itself, and I don’t think the love of comfort (another cause for greed) evokes the same sort of behavior that typifies the power-hungry.
I’ve got a longer post coming on my thoughts on the candidates, but I’ll set all that aside for a moment and focus on what I think the DNC should do this weekend with the mess that is the Florida and Michigan Democratic Party primaries. Just my 2¢…
