The Aristocrats!

The Senator-elect with an impertinent demeanor has a wife with a curious hand. Gail Huff, Scott Brown’s wife and WCVB Boston reporter is also talented in “slipping a mickey“, naturalist swimming and liberating tubes of lotion as seen in this Digney Fignus video from 1982:

Americans are fascinated with celebrity, how do you think Obama actually got elected right? Which means the Brown family is the perfect fit for the times right now. With a daughter on American Idol (Ayla Brown) and another an award-winning equestrian (Arianna Brown), the Brown family have all the non-political elements to keep an American audience captivated in political theater where facts, values and issues are overrated and shock value alone keeps your name in the headlines.

“Democracy… while it lasts is more bloody than either [aristocracy or monarchy]. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.”
~ John Adams quotes (American 2nd US President (1797-1801), 1735-1826)

Squirrel Crasher at Sunil’s Birthday!!

A cheeky squirrel in Alberta’s Banff National Park has gone viral after stealing the spotlight in a tourist’s photo.

Melissa Brandts, who was visiting from Minnesota, had set up her camera on a tripod to capture her and her husband, Jackson, in front of picturesque Lake Minnewanka in May.

“We had our camera set up on some rocks and were getting ready to take the picture when this curious little ground squirrel appeared, became intrigued with the sound of the focusing camera and popped right into our shot!” she wrote.

The ground squirrel became the focus of the picture as the couple faded into the background.

Here’s the result, and subsequent viral adaptations of the shot:
