    I loved the headline, but I hate watching video clips. I wish they'd done it as text.

    "Bush addresses 8.2 million unemployed: 'Get a job'

    WASHINGTON, DC—Calling the unemployment rate unacceptable, Bush told Americans Monday to get off their duffs and find a job."

    Buck, you're depriving yourself of hours of entertainment by not watching Onion TV clips. They're amazing.

    If you have not watched the "How do We Help Kids Who do not Give a Shit" video, watch it.

    It is fantastic.

    We had a premier who actually did that, except he didn't do it so eloquently.

    Ralph Klein -- also known as King Ralph -- who ruled Alberta from 1992-2006 had a bit of a drinking problem -- to put it lightly. At one point in the early 2000s he got liquored up, wandered into an Edmonton homeless shelter in the middle of the night, picked a fight, and told them all to get off their asses and get a job. He then threw change at them.

    Nobody will ever top the King.

    His life before politics? he was a reporter in Calgary. He did the profession proud.

    I had a chance to meet him. He did retail politics real well without coming across as a cheese. I bet he could run tomorrow and win.

    Ralph was one of a kind. He REALLY was a politician you'd like to have a beer with. Or, in his case, a dozen.

    If he was Premier now, he'd beat up Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty just for fun.
