Apparently, to this guy, all black people look like Donovan McNabb.

I think I can fill out most of the list:

#1. The House Sergeant at Arms (left), and I think he's accompanied by the Senate Sergeant at Arms.
#2. Special guests
#3. From left to right, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), Senator Chuck Shumer (D-NY), and in front of them looks like Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito.
#4. From left to right, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geitner, and HRC herself (Secretary of State).
#5. In the middle is Congressman Charlie Rangel (D-NY), I'm guessing he's with other House Representatives from NY.
#6. Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) currently also Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee (kinda important atm)
#7. From left to right, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA), and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH). These two are the current Republican House leadership.
#8. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV).
#9. Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH), who had a brief flirtation with being Obama's Commerce Secretary.
#10. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). He's the current Republican Senate leadership.
#11. Earl Devaney, the new Inspector General Obama was talking about seconds before (who helped bust Jack Abramaoff)
#12. Not sure who the guy picking at his ear is, but the other two are Housing and Urban Development Secretary (HUD) Shaun Donovan, and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis.
#13. Juggs magazine. Or the text of the speech he's listening to. Oh, and it's Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL), who's the ranking Republican on the Senate Banking Committee (and former chair).
#14. The infamous Joe Lieberman (I-CT), former Democrat who campaigned for John McCain.
#15. Senator Arlen Spector (R-PA), one of the 3 Republicans to vote for the Stimulus bill.
#16. Senators Evan Bayh (D-IN), and Roland Burris (D-IL) the latter of Blagojevich fame.
#17. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) in the middle, not sure of anyone else. He's the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
#18. I'm forgetting his name, but he's a House Republican, and most likely so is the woman next to him.
#19. Peter Orszag, new Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), formerly Director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel is to his left.
#20. Chuck Shumer again.
#21. Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) Eric Shinseki
#22. Not sure, I think he's a House Republican.
#23. Energy Secretary Steven Chu.
#24. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA)
#25. Don't know.
#26. Don't know. I'll wager a guess it's a House Democrat though.
#27. Senator Carl Levin (D-MI)
#28. Don't know.
#29. Senator Dick Lugar (R-IN)
#30. Don't recognize him, but he must be an Obama cabinet member, since that's who he's sitting amongst.
#31. Evan Bayh (D-IN) again.
#32. On the left is Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL), not sure who's next to him.
#33. Don't know.
#34. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), buddy of John McCain.
#35. From left to right, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, Defense Secretary Bob Gates, Treasury Secretary Tim Geitner, and Hillary something or other.
#36. I only know the one on the left, Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but those are the *cough* Joint Chiefs of Staff; the heads of the Navy, Army, Air Force, and Marines (in that order unless I've misidentified the uniforms).
#37. No clue, but it's likely they're part of the JCS organization.
#38. Dunno, but he's sure to be on this list somewhere. To his left is Ted Strickland, Governor of Ohio (D).
#39. Don't know. I think that's the Republican House section, though.
#40. Don't know.
#41. Captain Sully Sullenberger. Pilot of this plane.
#42. Mayor Bob Dixon, from Greensburg, Kansas; the city Obama's talking about.

Phew.

Song is Donovan's (?) "Universal Soldier".

Here's a round up of everyone's fromage submissions, last chance to upvote if you've missed something. I'll be announcing the winners in about 15 hours or so, bloody time zones...

He is right, there are plenty of studies, the ones that come to mind are:
Took and Brandybuck, 1968;
Wayne, Banner, Parker and Kent, 1985;
McVie, Nicks, Buckingham, Fleetwood 1997;
Finally, the study by Lynn, Canyon, Donovan and Jameson in the late 80's.


Next time don't watch lord of the rings for your invented studies!

I still don't buy it. If i knew an easy way to, i'd go look at the studies. But i'm pretty sure my dog would have been recorded as having a "biting" incident when he nibbles on a toddler's ear. He's being affectionate in the way he knows, but admittedly it's not pleasant if he uses too much force.

Smoke n mirrors i reckon. Dogs raised CORRECTLY aren't violent without reason in the same way humans raised CORRECTLY aren't violent without reason. (as in, it happens about as often)

Good to hear. Ive only trained for about 5 months, 6th kyu. I train with Sorrentino and Laskey Sensei. I havent been to a class with Saotome, though I know I should.

In reply to this comment by thesnipe:
Yeah I train locally here in NJ with an Aikido club associated with the USAF, I try to make it to NY's dojo whenever I can and take Yamada's class. When I was in Florida I trained with Donovan and many other great USAF and ASU senseis. It's been about 4 years for me, I purposely haven't tested but I usually help out with teaching beginners and train alongside 1st kyus and sho/nidans. I'm very lucky to have a 6th Dan as my instructor locally though!

In reply to this comment by NordlichReiter:
Do you train in any Japanese Traditional arts?

I train in ASU - Aikido in the DC area, I saw your vids and Bio and thought I would ask.

Donovan is my anti-drug 'cause his music makes me hiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

Kermit is better than Jason Donovan, too!

Yeah, according to Wikipedia "It had been prearranged for this session to be filmed by NEMS Enterprises for use in a planned television special. However, the film was never released in its entirety, although portions of it can be seen in the "A Day in the Life" promotional film, including shots of studio guests like Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithfull, Keith Richards, Donovan, Pattie Boyd and Michael Nesmith."

I love this song so much it hurts.

You can see Mike Judge in all the Spy Kids movies. He plays Donovan Giggles.
