Here's a YouTube clip from Monty Python's Life of Brian in which
the guys from the People's Front of Judea discuss "What Have the Romans
Done For Us?" . And there's nothing inappropriate in this
clip! Also, by popular demand, the clip in which Brian gets a Latin
lesson from a Roman centurion: Romans, go home!
Ok, there's a tiny bit of inappropriateness in this one.
Classical
civilization in the news: The speeches
of president Obama owe much to classical oratory: The New
Cicero . Ok, now that you’ve read
that, for dessert you may read Obama's Use of Complete Sentences Stirs Controversy . (N.B. – that’s an abbreviation for the Latin nota bene, “note well”— this is a humor
piece.)

Here's
a YouTube video featuring
Terentius Tunberg, who heads the conversational Latin Conventiculum at the
U of Kentucky that you students hear so much about from me. Oh, yeah,
it's in Latin. No, I won't post a translation! He's saying Latin
isn't only an ancient language, but that it can link many peoples today.
The other Latin speaker featured, Caelestis Eichenseer, is another well-known
proponent of Latinitas viva (living Latin).
