“Life at the Outpost”

Looking for a nice video that combines cowboy boots, bushy moustaches and hot dance moves? Of course you are, and the Skatt Bros. have your answer. The Skatt Bros., a short-lived group that discomuseum.com describes as Canada’s answer to the Village People, released the song “Life at the Outpost” in 1979. In the music video, the group implores you to “give your love to a cowboy man” as they put on such an excessive display of sweaty, shirtless leg-kicking and gyrating that you may think they’re joking around. But they are very, very serious. Just search for “Life at the Outpost” on YouTube.

Election coverage.

The Writers Guild of America strike may have taken away the star-studded Golden Globes and new episodes of The Office, but no writer could pen a better drama than the 2008 presidential election coverage playing out right now on TVs across the land. Next up is the Republican primary election in South Carolina on Saturday, and on Monday the Democratic candidates will face off in a debate in Myrtle Beach, S. C., (7 p.m., CNN) before their primary election in the state the following Saturday. Republicans will debate Jan. 24 in Boca Raton, Fla. (8 p.m., MSNBC) five days before Floridians vote in their primary election. It’s sure to be the best reality TV around, at least until Flavor of Love 3 starts in February.
