I’ve always wondered how much trouble someone could get into by being a smartass like this to a cop.

This week the main road to the highway exit next to my apartment has been littered by cops. Almost everyday I drive down that road I see them; marked and unmarked just nailing speeders. The bridge right before the exit has always been a prime hunting ground for them.

This strip is dedicated to all those fine working men and women; a moment of sarcasm that I’d never have the colhones to say to they faces. I know they are just doing their jobs… but sometimes it just seems so… arrogantly… I don’t know… “blah” I guess.

I am not sure why today is turning into US politics day over here on NunoXEI.com, but just so happens if that’s all I see in my web subscriptions, then that’s what is going to stand out.

I first discovered “Goldentusk” after watching an episode of Diggnation where he was brought up in reference to his Batman: The Musical parody on YouTube done to the original Batman theme song. If you haven’t seen this video, I added it below at the end of this post… because it’s about Batman. And I love Batman.

My name is NunoXEI and I’m a Batmaniac.

Back to the video above though… I actually laughed out loud. If the reference of the parody is not evident to anyone reading this blog or watching the video above, then I’m sorry, but I’m not going to be the one to link to it or even point out the reference. You’ll have to do your own digging. I’ll just say that my connection to the original reference video was from reactions of other YouTubers who watched it.

I am a very curious person… but I’m not THAT curious. My stomach is a sensitive thing and watching people react to 2 girls and… Oh, almost got me… reacting to the REACTIONS of that video were sometimes enough to make me lose my bowels through my mouth. Just saying.

The above video parody was the kind of comedic awesomeness that makes me wish I thought of it first. So simple.

Bonus awesomeness from Goldentusk: Batman musical song done over the original Batman theme song. Enjoy!

I stumbled on an article over at TheRoot.com entitled, “Will White People Riot?” This article is a response to a question asked by a white man in Memphis to a racial reconciliation group. His question was: “Would black people riot if Senator Barack Obama didn’t win the election?”

As pointed out by columnist Wendi C. Thomas, author of the above mentioned article,

Many whites still labor under the illusion that black folk act en masse and that if you ask the right one, you can get the official position of some 40 million people. If a few of us get angry, that logic allows, it must surely result in a riot.

This brings to the table a switcharoo I was quite amused by. If a question such as, “Will black people riot if Obama doesn’t win?” can be asked then how less absurd is the equally balancing question, “Will white people riot if Obama wins?”

It’s intriguing that some folks still react to the people in the world as masses of one. Indeed the very definition of “a riot” involves a mass of people being driven by a group mentality if their values, principles or objectives are comprimised (I’m not a sociologist, so perhaps there’s a better way to define what I’m trying to say, meh, no matter, you get the point I hope).

The truth however is that each person is different–some share histories, sure, and these histories by default include them in a collective. Ultimately though, releasing oneself from the constraints history allows each to have absolute control of their own destiny.

To me, it seems just as likely that if a riot DOES break out, it’ll be if Obama doesn’t win. This won’t be a color issue at all in my mind; it’ll be one of tired people who believe Obama stands for something more powerful than what is happening in the US today (or over the last 8 years).

It’s even more frightening that Obama has rallied more young people then ever before with the use of the web and social media as a device in his campaign. With young people, comes a general willingness to overreact with rebelliousness when they get denied what they want.

It’ll be interesting to see how events unfold.
