Cat Memories

Recently, my cat Ariel – who I’d had for 17 years – died. She wasn’t the cuddliest cat, for a long time she was overweight and in her later years she developed some unpleasant personal habits, which I won’t detail here. However, for 17 years she was there every time I came home and was by my side through lots of good times and bad times.

But I didn’t realize until late in her life that she had a sense of humor! Turns out that once the camera was on she shined! So, in honor of her memory, I’d like to relive a Cup O Politics video that Steve Garfield and I made last year featuring Ariel (and my other cat Hazel). Ariel is the white cat featured on the title screen…

Adios, little mermaid! We’ll never forget you.

COP: It’s Song Parody Week!

Like the late rounds of a classic heavyweight title fight, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are really slugging it out. Fists are flying, blood is flowing, low blows are being landed – I love it all! You can’t make up this kind of entertainment.

No, you can’t make up this kind of entertainment, but you can sure make fun of it, which is what we like to do at Cup O Politics.

This week our good buddy and very talented musician and writer Dave Wildman whipped up not one but two little diddies about HRC vs. BHO and my COP partner Steve Garfield created some great videos to go with them.

Check these out!

Obama and Clinton: Breaking Us In Two

Hillary Clinton: Desperado – Come to your senses

If you like it, be sure to spread the word! Also, you can now leave video comments on both Cup O Politics and right here on Chumworth.com!

COP: Talking Politics with Jesus

Super Tuesday is almost here! Candidates are dropping like flies. If you’re like me you’re still trying to figure out who you’re going to vote for to be our next president. Perhaps you’re looking for guidance from a higher power! Well, look no further! I recently sat down with a certain well known former carpenter with a knack for miracles for Cup O Politics to see what’s what on this election thing.

Take a look-see here. Special thanks to my partner Steve Garfield for the excellent work on this one.

It’s official, I’m going somewhere really hot when I die.

COP: Parade of Losers

Well, we’re clearly in the home stretch of the 2008 presidential election – only 9 major candidates left! What better way to celebrate than by remembering the long list of losers who have already dropped out of the race.

That’s exactly what my buddy Steve Garfield and I did in the most recent episode of Cup O Politics. Check it out here.

Another new episode coming next week! Pass the word.
