1. David Thompson complains to the City Council about a rogue helicopter pilot, “terrorist pussies” and George Shinn’s alleged campaign to harass him. Priceless. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA1hyqA6UTY)
2. An anonymous conservative’s cheeky ads targets Democrat county commissioners. (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=MeckConservative)
3. Former Fox weatherman Mark Mathis acts the fool. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvQ0pwzskus)
