In the past three days, I ran across two parodies by people with “Dr” in front of their names. Given the coincidence and the quality of the humor, I felt the need to post.
First up, a great video called “Every Change of Rate”, about how Dean Glenn Hubbard wanted that Fed Chair post, which Bush gave to Bernake.
Next, we have the Amateur Transplants, a London-based duo who rant about the the Tube and NHS. HT to Samidh for first introducing me to the group. (Warning: contains strong and sexist language.)
Enjoy both!
QOTD: “Some things are just never meant to be, no matter how much we wish they were.”
