Rachel Maddow is the first journalist i've watched in a while that brings to mind "watchdog" when it comes to journalism. QM can argue that Ann Coultier writes fact based books til he's blue in the face but cant argue against these points made with the videos to back them up.

Argue against this if you dare Quantumushroom, the Bush administration as a whole has been dishonest and vicariously manipulative about the reasons we got involved in the Iraq war.

Awesome Job, great editing and the musical added touch!
Thanks for letting us join you vicariously through film...

Augh! My vicarious pride!

Football

Football fans
Willing to fight for a team
That doesn't know their name

Triumphantly abreast
of all the stats
that might be
half as important
as a hill of beans

Simple minds
The glue of a nation

Yet I love it, too
In my own simple way

The illusory warfare
The vicarious triumph

The dramatic agony
of a meaningless loss

The occasional ballet
Of a miracle play

So dubious, so innocent, so corrupt...so earnest.

So American.

No need to call PETA -- That's Otto! He loves the fridge! Remember your internet celebrity cats, folks!

Otto, the fridge cat!

OMG! It didn't sift! WELL! Time to use the famous promote powers on http://www.videosift.com/video/Otto-likes-to-chill-in-the-fridge from like 2 years ago!

Actually, otto is also famous for being the kitty who plays fetch, as seen on a couple of other videos. Similarly, Pippi is a famous jumping kitty, and wheelcat was one of the first talking kitties on videosift.

Ah, the cats of VS.

(can you tell that we're not allowed to have pets in this building so i get my pet love vicariously through the internets or what? We also go and cuddle our friends' pets)

IN watching the reaction, you live vicariously through the reaction of the celebrity you recognise, content in the comfort of sharing the same reaction to an obviously weird, weird situation...

Well, Charlie's actually correct: he never killed anyone himself. He wasn't even present at any of the 7 Tate-LaBianca murders but that's not how the law works.

Manson was convicted under the vicarious liability rule of conspiracy. In short, it means that each member of a conspiracy is criminally responsible for all crimes committed by his co-conspirators.

But clearly, the man's insane.

3/4 done already? What's up with the lack of updates? Let's see photos and wild road trip stories so we can all live vicariously through you. Have you eaten any sandwiches in 2 minutes lately?

Have a fun rest of the trip.

Lyrics:

Eye on the TV
Cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor
It happens to be

Like:
"Killed by the husband"
"Drowned by the ocean"
"Shot by his own son"
"She used a poison in his tea
and kissed him goodbye"
That's my kind of story.
It's no fun 'til someone dies

Don't look at me like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other
Stare like a junkie
Into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother holds her child,
Watches him die

Pleas to the sky crying,
"Why, oh why?!"

Cause I need to watch things die
From a distance
Vicariously, I
Live while the whole world dies
You all need it too - don't lie.

Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit,
We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'
Neither the brave nor bold
Will write us a story. So,
We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'

I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance
Vicariously, I
Live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so
Why can't we

Just admit it

Blood like rain, come down
Drum on grave and ground

Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore and voyeur
Still have the transmittal
Synch to the death rattle...

La, la, la, la, la, la,la-lie (x4)

Credulous at best your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men
Pull your head on out
You Hippies and give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again

The universe is hostile
So impersonal
Devour to survive
So it is, so it's always been ...

We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire

Vicariously, I
Live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I.

That depends on who you ask, I guess. I've had a few people try to explain to me the meaning behind certain tool videos. I've never heard anything that makes sense. Usually I get the impression they're superimposing one of their own loony ideas onto the video. I've wondered on a few occasions if they're actually intended to do just that.

trying to push the weird or disturbing envelope as far as possible and nothing else. It's disappointing that such a great band has such shallow videos.

not very deep are you.

hey MKOMMIE, yer opener might have made you wiggle with glee, but all I could do is imagine how happy you were to be able to discover the phenom described the first and last time anyone ever experienced such satisfaction, and how difficult your potty training or lack thereof, must have been for your daddys.

Seems like all these kids can do is focus on the basest of the lowest human denominator, and for what it's worth, vicarious apologies to everyone but mlx, who has had the best one-liners so far, all hinged upon the fact that we still know too little about you MH to get too scathing, too close to home.

I offer this seasoned observation of your overall nature, having had a bit of experience reading the interesting version of your meatsack description, in some of your first pm's to me.

You came with a welcome to me, in the form of a paragraph...then another, then another, cutting and pasting data so fast on 9/11, that I was sure you were on the company payroll of the official report's disinformation squad......hell, all I did was post a viddy that would spark conversation either way on the subject, and you came to me with tomes, trying to win me over like a used car salesman/Scientology recruiter-(wtf have I dredged with this one, hope he goes charter before I have to make some shit up)

lesse.....if I recall, you said something like, you had to crunch some more data, after I reset you with some non-linear banter-

oh here's a fun one..
MH:You are down voting every video I submit, that you vote for. That is pretty lame.
And by the way, your comment was not marked private."

yeah well, life sucks, then you die, but in your case, the soul was sold long ago, to the god's of insect activities, and the world needs her insects, gives me more time to think. So how's work?? Well, here's one marked public I got a kick out of:

Hi Choggie,

I am pretty busy today. I had a near catastrophe with my experiment, the test subjects were recovered, but experienced the normal disorientation after two hours in the accelerator, and things turned out ok. This weekend I will be available and willing, please do that thing with your teeth that I like. I will read what you wrote, but for now, my hands are shaky, and I need a break from the auto-erotic asphyxiation.
I appreciate your patience, and love that thing you do with your teeth."
MH

So, are you still convinced that midgets with paintballguns pancaked the towers? Take another ream of data, and call me in the morning....*clicks teeth rapidly

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it’s my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

Now replace that with all P's.
