Partisan humor video of the day
This actually went up on YouTube almost a year ago, but it was new to me this afternoon: "Two Democrats on an escalator"...
Horribly unfair, to be sure, but so is all good political comedy.
I continue to believe that the Republicans should make a constant, relentless theme out of self-reliance and personal competence. Every law, regulation, or program should be examined to see whether it encourages people to be self-reliant, competent, producers, or dependant, incompetent, consumers. Of course, the big and tragic question is whether Washington Republicans are too much the tools of really big business to think that way any longer.

Actually, I was on a moving escalator when this really happened. It DOES take a (brief) moment to kick in that you can just start walking. Everyone had the same reaction so everyone started laughing.

One of the biggest reasons I left the Democratic party was the disdain the left has for personal responsibility. In their world, the only people who have to take responsibility for their actions are their political opponents. Everyone else, from addicts to criminals to terrorists, gets off the hook - somebody "made them do it".

I agree it's funny. On the other hand, the Republican contribution to humor in this case is retitling a Canadian health care company's ad:

Keep working on the originality thing.
