These are the mad political rantings of one Matthew McNeil, Liberal/Democratic radio host in Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN. The postings are mine, the thoughts are mine. Mostly about politics, but I will occasionally get into raising kids, cooking, gardening, the arts and my favorite sports. Bon Appetite!

The Friday Link for 2/12/21
Howdy all!
This last week was stellar for comedy so we have 5 clips, FIVE for you tonight. I will warn you up front: I think all of these clips feature rough language and some adult themes. You've been warned!!!
Let's start with a news story you probably have no idea even exists, but it is massive; the Indian Farmers strike.
One of the worst parts of the last 4 years was how Trump sucked all the news air out of this country. I remember when we used to hear about news from around the world, but then Trump and his childish need to be mentioned by the media every 5 minutes led to a stifling restriction of the news from outside our borders. Heck, it stymied a lot of the news within our own borders too!
The Daily Show is starting to look around the world and, as only they can, they break down what is the biggest farmer strike in the history of the planet, all due to the disastrous anti-small farmer policies of their current leadership. And Trevor Noah covers it with a smile!
I'll stay with the Daily Show for another bit with Jordan Klepper covering the 2nd Impeachment Trial in Washington DC. It is really bizarre how different DC is from the last video Klepper did, the one for the Trump rally which turned into the insurrection. And Rep. Adam Schiff throws down and calls out the crazy people in the GOP today! NICE!
Next up is one of the best SNL skits from the season, this featuring the fantastic Dan Levy, and the naughtiness of Zillow!
Next is a tribute to the end of the NFL season, the Bad Lip Reading version of the season. If that dude doesn't have "X-Rated Kissing Machine" on a jersey immediately then he's a fool.
Lastly this week is a sensational video from the always hilarious ZeFrank, True Facts: The Incredible Tardigrade. His videos always feature a few interesting facts, but learning these things can be exposed to outer space and then spring back...WOW! Not only might that eventually help with space travel, but the idea of life coming to Earth no longer seems like such an impossibility! INCREDIBLE!
That should tide you over. Happy Valentine's Day and have a great weekend!
Stay Healthy, Stay Safe!
