Best Video: "Call me Senator": Funniest political Ad of 2010?
The Week ^ | Oct. 25, 2010

Posted on 10/26/2010 3:00:55 AM PDT by T.L.Sink

This satirical ad pilliories the now-infamous moment in June, 2009 when Boxer asked an Army brigadier to call her "Senator" and not "Ma'am" during a committee hearing: it concludes with her gleefully signing a $900 billion stimulus bill. [Boxer is so full of herself that she makes a self-caricature of herself for an ad ridiculing her pretensions and self-importance]

Care to elaborate on the “language control” at FR?

I know there’s some fear of telling too much truth, or disseminating too much information, because the PC police WILL use the power of the force of law to punish this site’s owner.

The level of enforcement varies, though.

One of the best parts of ridiculing the arrogance of leftists is that it further enrages them. They are NOT to be the objects of ridicule, because they are inherently superior.
The second best part is showing We the People what these arrogant a-holes are made of.
The third best part is making their supporters defend the arrogance.

I was wondering that too. He also plays a cameo in Arrested Development that sort of makes fun of tree sitters. I wonder...

I wish they’d used a little more of the actual clip. People may not know what really happened.

Clint Howard recently came out as a conservative. He said that studios weren’t exactly beating his door down, and this revelation isn’t going to stop him from getting the kinds of parts he does get called for.

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which an unskilled person makes poor decisions and reaches erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to realize their mistakes.[1] The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average, much higher than it actually is, while the highly skilled underrate their abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority. This leads to the situation in which less competent people rate their own ability higher than more competent people. It also explains why actual competence may weaken self-confidence: because competent individuals falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. "Thus, the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others."
