Do you need a good dose of insanity? Have you not laughed so hard you’ve almost peed your pants? Well, HOH has quite an afternoon treat!

We have found a very funny YouTube video, perhaps the greatest we’ve watched this day. It has taught us that a man called Joe Visconti loves gasoline, flatbed trucks, Tom Petty songs and the “Don’t Tread on Me” flag. But, more than anything on God’s green Earth, Visconti loves current GOP Senate candidate and former Rep. Christopher Shays (Conn.).

According to Visconti’s blog, he is an “[e]ntertainer, Emmy Award winning producer and former candidate for the US Congress.” We bet Shays is pleased as punch to have Visconti stand in the back of a pickup truck, lift a gas can and wave a flag for him. We know we would be.
