Scenes from a new world record to cleanse the palate. As always with the MOTD, multiple interpretations are possible. A pantomime of the endless campaign, now ended, each new development colliding inexorably with the next until the last domino’s fallen and we’re left, cruelly and suddenly, to cope with the void? Or just a symbol of the path from Fannie/Freddie to Lehman Brothers on through to the Big Three and beyond?
Only one thing’s certain: The “Mission Impossible” harness in the second clip is awesome.

Watching these clips got me to thinking…
Why do you suppose people with OCD let us get away with shortening it to an acronym?

I definitely want one for my living room.

Wow.

The overturning of the cowboy hat?

So Sergi…what do you do for a living….?
I’m a domino-ista.
A what…?
NeoKong on November 19, 2008 at 8:26 PM
Yah…how do I explain to my Sunday Schoolers that I spent 5 minutes watching dominoes fall
and another thirty seconds writing this?
Maybe I just also jumped the shark.

Is that anything like a dominotrix?

I call editing shenanigans

Just ad Fonzi and Pinki Tuscadoro.

……… I see the propaganda indoctrination public school system is working on steroids!
What’s next, you ask?
……………. One trillion dominos in a picture of Mr. Obama, President Elect, the Office of……

Let’s face it: we live in a world where Che is a hero and George W. Bush is a war criminal…where a Blank slate socialist beats war hero extraordinaire for the presidency.
I won’t go on, but does Bizzarro World ring a bell?

Saw this on Fox the other day and just KNEW it would end up on HotAir.
I see the Euro-libs are STILL worshipping the murderous Che, I thought they’d replace him with Mr. Hopenchange by now.

Brilliant!

Che liked to murder people who disagreed with him, but only if they were helpless.
People who like Che are complete scum.
This is only controversial because a significant number of people are insane.

Oh snap it’s Wayne Brady, son!!
Grafted on November 19, 2008 at 10:08 PM
Just sayin’

Che Guevara? Really?
Kevin M on November 19, 2008 at 10:59 PM
We’ll always have Paris.
Shy Guy on November 20, 2008 at 3:33 AM
I would say it’s blasphemy to put the picture of Che next to the picture of the Dalai Llama.

Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam.
