In a week filled with news from the US Primaries, this video seemed like a great reprieve from the sniping from Hillary’s camp at Obama and a needed breath of comedy. Taking a page from Obama, former presidential hopeful Mike Gravel tried to move in on Obama Girl. Throw in Obama Girl, Mike Gravel, and a little crank dat groove, you are sure to giggle. The video won me when Mike actually threw down some Soulja Boy moves and gave a shout out to the twitterati. Enjoy!

Hi. I think that I am becoming jaded. Things just aren’t amusing me as they used to and, to be honest, in embracing my cynicism, I am proud to present my newfound sense of humor: Old people dancing. I am meh about the ghost rider phenom, since it represents stupid southern gangata lame-rap, but partnered with an old aged pensioners ride which looks strikingly like a short bus we have a real gold winner. Pppppeace.

Obama totally stands behind Ricks Mantra - Unlike Clinton, Obama will never:

• Give you up
• Let you down
• Run around
• Desert you
• Make you cry
• Say goodbye
• TELL A LIE
• Hurt you

Despite having one of the meanest record collections on the west side, I have never wanted to be the next Pete Tong. Loved the idea of being the DJ’s girlfriend just so I could carry his crates and hit front of the line so I could stinkeye the rest of the mallrats in lineup, I am now changing my tune. After watching my video of the week featuring the Littlest, and kinda lame, gangsta, I want to do a dance remix with the hook being “I yanked the, I yanked the, I yanked the thing” seen between 0:26-0:30. That was gold.

Michael Jackson’s sabbatical in Dubai seems to be rubbing off on his dance moves. On Britain’s Got Talent, MJ - or at least a really good impersonator - graced us with his new found middle eastern inspired groove. I love how the usually unflappable brits Simon and Piers are caught off guard by this dancing duo. Their reactions alone are worth the 2 minutes of your life.
