i really like this aronra dude.

He looks like a douchenozzle.

Douchenozzles usually don't bother to apologize for making fun of someone's accent.

I said LOOKS!


Ah. My mistake. You didn't employ CAPS, italics, "quotes"... not even a smiley face... so I didn't know WHAT to "think" ;-) It's the aviator glasses that really bring out the nozzle in him, of course. Good evening.

Chris Matthews Freaks Out At Obama After Debate

bookface says...

Why was everyone so surprised at how this went down? With regard to bi-partisan relations, the debate looked like a microcosm of the president's first term. If Obama is "re-elected" his next four years will be much like the first.

>> ^Payback:

Why does neat stuff like this only happen in foreign countries?
I mean, other than them all being arrested for disturbing the peace or street performing without a permit.


I'm assuming you mean why doesn't this happen in America? The reason is America doesn't have a public commitment to the arts like the European countries. Europeans think this music and this ensemble is an important part of their culture. I think too many Americans look at orchestras and opera companies like over-funded anachronisms.

This isn't to say that there aren't street performances in the US. Quite to the contrary, they're all over the place (weather permitting.) However, they're usually playing guitar and hand drums.
