I’ll be the first to admit it: I turned my nose up to The Bird and the Bee. I had my reasons, among them their being one of the only playable albums for in-store play during my retail days (you can only play Celtic Woman and Roxette so many times.) I mean, I would recommend it to those upset that we ran out of the Regina Spektor album, but it wasn’t my thing.

Technically, it still isn’t my thing, but I have no choice but to give them props for having Eric Wareheim (of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!) direct their video for “Polite Dance Song.”

It has everything almost everything that we never would have thought to ask for, but still inexplicably thoroughly enjoy: old people (including one that looks very familiar), gold sweaters, eye patches, lip gloss and awe-inspiring, slow motion gyrations of the hip variety, not to mention a pretty solid track. Indeed, our preconceived notions just got served.

Remember, this is the man who told a kid that “the reason the Constitution was forged was to assure new American citizens the right to free life and access to pursue happiness in his or her own way” and that “[t]he Declaration was the statement; the Constitution, the instrument,” after he was pwned for having written that “[t]he Constitution guarantees all of us, in a famous phrase, ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’”

Well, this time, he’s fighting for the rights provided to us by the Declaration and/or Constitution, not to mention journalism as a whole:

“There are a lot of people who hate FOX News and they want to hurt us…and if i had allowed this guy to do what he was trying to do, I wouldn’t have been standing up for my network or my camera man.”

It’s almost as if these people who hate FOX News are like terrorists or something. O’Reilly totally had a responsibility to the People’s democratic rights, which means he has an obligation to shove someone who was just standing there. He’s fighting for your freedom, people.

Get real indeed.

I’m lifting this directly from Wonkette, but only because it’s the best thing I’ve ever seen. We will contribute to disemination of Tom Tancredo’s fanatical racist propaganda, you know, because it’s funny.

This is probably the most rational explanation of human relationships I’ve ever heard:

In case you missed the best part towards second 32:

“I love you too, but I don’t like you all the time,” says baby.
“Ok, thanks,” says mom.

Also, is this kid destined to be a stock broker, or what? Seriously, this clip is like the pilot for the best reality TV series ever. He’s so cute I might have to forget to take my birth control this month.

Don’t know how I feel about this semi-new White Stripes video. Song included, it’s just too cutesy, am I right?

(Editor’s Note: Because we can’t find any decent translated video for this particular story, we offer you a little bit of our multiculturalism with this fully Spanish, Babelfish-free post. We’ve translated it for our gringo friends at the end*.)

Ustedes ya deben saber lo que creemos sobre Hugo Chávez. Pero también sabemos lo que el Rey de España piensa del presidente venezolano después del domingo pasado.

Durante una cumbre de lideres latinoamericanos, el bruto Chávez no supo como callarse la boca durante un discurso de parte del presidente español, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, sobre como conducir una reunión entre países latinoamericanos y tener un discurso respetuoso. Chávez decidió atacar el ex-presidente de España, José Maria Aznar, llamándole fascista, serpiente e inhumano y siguió interrumpiendo a Zapatero, quien defendió a su predecesor como un líder elegido democráticamente, tanto como Chávez (aun algunos de nosotros no necesariamente tenemos mucha fe en elecciones; mira a Bush.). En fin, el mismo Rey Juan Carlos de España se salto de su asiento y le dijo a Chávez que se callara. Muy bien hecho, viejo.

Ahora los Chavistas están llorando que los españoles terminaron pareciendo como oligarcas de siglos antepasados. Ay sí; los quienes piden una pizca de respeto entre representantes internacionales son los incivilizados, pero él quien entra a países extraños demandando locuras e insultando líderes democráticos es él quien tiene razón. Pendejo…
