Obama In Mom Jeans

Obama In Mom Jeans

 
Canadian comedian Greg Morton pokes fun at the Obama’s fashion sense in this video set to the music of Neil Diamond’s “Forever in Blue Jeans”.

Enjoy!

President Barack Obama on Friday said critics of his “mom jeans” should zip it.

“I’ve been unfairly maligned about my jeans,” Obama told radio host Ryan Seacrest in an interview. “The truth is, generally I look very sharp in jeans. There was one episode like four years ago in which I was wearing some loose jeans, mainly because I was out on the pitcher’s mound and I didn’t want to feel confined while I was pitching, and I think I’ve paid my penance for that. I got whacked pretty good. Since that time, my jeans fit very well.”

Though the joke stems from 2009, when Obama threw out the first pitch at the Major League Baseball All Star Game, the ding resurfaced earlier this month, when Sarah Palin slammed the president as being known for wearing “mom jeans.” Her barb came shortly after Obama was photographed in the White House in jeans while talking on the phone to Russian President Vladimir Putin about the Ukraine crisis.

Baby And Me: Dancing Evian Babies

Baby And Me: Dancing Evian Babies

 
Evian brings the dancing babies back in this video titled Baby And Me. The advertisement shows adults who are shocked to see themselves reflected in the mirror as infants. Then both babies and grown-ups break into a series of complicated dance moves.

Enjoy!


Baby And Me

Now those booty-shaking babies are back on the scene in a new video called Baby And Me that already has over 30 million views. The video shows adults looking at their reflection in a store mirror on a city street and they’re surprised when they see a baby version of themselves doing complicated dance movies while a remix of Ini Kamoze’s bumping “Here Comes the Hotstepper” plays. The video is pretty clever although I was waiting for that moment when the babies and adults take over the sidewalk and do a choreographed group dance.

The Full Version Of Taps Performed By Melissa Venema

Melissa Venema performs the full version of Taps. The original version was called Last Post, and was written by Daniel Butterfield in 1801. It was a lengthy and formal piece so in 1862 it was shortened to 24 notes and re-named Taps.

Enjoy!

The Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial lies in the village of Margraten, about six miles from Maastricht, Holland. There lie buried 8,301 American soldiers killed in the battles to liberate Holland in the fall and winter of 1944-5. Sgt. Bill Dukeman, 101st Airborne Division, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, Second Battalion, Company C (of “Band of Brothers fame) is buried there. He was killed in the battle of “The Crossroads” in northern Holland.

The Dutch hold an annual memorial concert every September at the above cemetery to remember and honor the Americans who died to free them in Operation Market Garden and subsequent efforts to eject the German army from Holland.

Sgt. Dukeman, like many other fallen GIs, was “adopted” by a Dutch family. Dukeman’s family in the States was contacted and hosted in Holland, and his grave site decorated each year by his Dutch “family.” They keep his portrait in their home, displayed in a place of honor. Fathers pass this obligation down to their sons in Holland. This version of the original “taps” music is played by a 13 year old Dutch girl named Melissa Venema. The conductor of the orchestra is Andre Rieu from Holland.

Many of us may never have heard taps played in its entirety. The original version of Taps was called Last Post, and was written by Daniel Butterfield in 1801. It was rather lengthy and formal, as you will hear in this clip, so in 1862 it was shortened to 24 notes and re-named Taps.
