Did you seriously just say Obama's intellect is comparable to Palin's?!

Palin has a far better grasp on what it means to be an American than a bitter leftist who sat in a hate-Whitey church for 20-plus years. His Earness is endlessly promoted by His media lackeys, so a fair comparison is not possible.

SERIOUSLY?!?!?!? Look, gaffes aside, Obama graduated from Harvard Law School with a JD magna cum laude. Palin took six years to get a bachelor's degree in communications bouncing around from school to school to get it!

You might have had a point when Harvard wasn't a politically-correct degree mill. Speaking of kollij, we will never see Obama's kollij papers to know his genius even then. Community organizer? Do you even need higher education to become a rabble-rousing 'activist'?

Dude, if the conservative/libertarian ideology concluded the world is flat, would you spout that crap, too?! In fact, your beloved Ron Paul wouldn't tell Obama he's not smart enough to be president.

I don't need any labels to denounce His Earness. I merely observe the results of his incompetence (or genius, for those promoting the one-world illuminati worldview). His results are indefensible by any metric you care to name.

Just ridiculous. I get you don't like Obama, but that doesn't mean you should ignore basic fact. And I'm sorry, but she's simply not smart enough to be president. This has nothing to do with her ideology. Plenty of conservative politicians are out there who have the intellectual capacity to be president, but she's not one of them.

Due to an unfortunate media-created outbreak of Palin Derangement Syndrome, your observation cannot be quantified. Anyone here think Joe Biden is smart enough to operate a doorknob much less be President?

BONUS NO. 2 -- "Who are these people?" -- mid-90s Vice President and supergenius Al Gore, referring to the busts of Jefferson, Washington and Franklin during a tour of Monticello, home of Thomas Jefferson.

I couldn't agree more with the sentiment, its a shame its delivery wasn't that great, I mean he had all the hand gestures that a rousing public speaker makes but he was constantly looking down at his script and that really detracted from it and even made his gesturing seem abit silly.

Who is the ?David Tell? he mentions... need vids


I highly recommend you grab a copy of the Dave Attell Insomniac Tour. It's Dave, Sean Rouse, Greg Giraldo and Dane Cook. The best part is, yes, Dane Cook comes on last so you can just push stop there rather than having to fast forward through it.

Dave also had the show, Insomniac, on Comedy Central for a few years which was both hilarious and interesting.

Very cool, rousing indeed!

So yeah...I had this happen to me once.

It turned out to be a precursor to a devastating migraine that lasted a couple of days. Began with me feeling perfectly normal and clear headed but when I attempted to speak the words came out as garbled nonsense. It was like the words were being lost between my head and my mouth. Knew exactly what I was trying to say but my mouth just made no sense.

Within a half hour I sat and had a complete disconnect with time. I thought I gazed down at the floor for a moment but then someone roused me and said I'd been staring for almost 2 hours. When I tried to walk I'd copmletely lost control of one entire side of my body and had to be supported. Within another half hour the blinding pain started. I was taken to the doctor where I passed out for a couple hours. During the time I was unconscious I spoke continuously at a very fast rate. The doctor thought it was all nonsense but my mother recognized it was detailed engineering information about lasers as if I was speed reading it from technical data.

That Migraine was 2 days of agony. Migraines are a bitch.

Every time I hear someone claim they need to sit down because they "have such a migraine", I want to punch them in the face.

A video that offers more information towards an answer to your 1st question is on the sift: http://videosift.com/video/What-is-money

An impressive narrative, but I have two problems with it:
1. Like every other rabble rousing anti-tax propaganda piece, it claims that the Fed prints money. Even if we assume they now mean the simple manipulation of digital transactions, how exactly does that work? How is it possibly backed by the government if it isn't the government "printing" it?
2. Aside from getting really angry and voting for morons who will be completely incapable of making any real change in the government (read: The Tea Party), what exactly are we supposed to do about it?

he's awesome.

Check out Jason Rouse if you like the hardcore comedy

hahah, I love how it takes a while to get certain things.

This video is about procreation. is it not ?

every time he moves forward the bridge behind him is burned or gone or whatnot.

he chases the egg.

I like when I realize things. I also just got that the bear 100.3 thing was indeed just a rouse. takes a couple days I say , takes a couple days for certain things to sink in.

"...and we'll swap it for any competing smartphone," is the money shot here. A rousing chuckle was had.

Of course, this is coming from the guy with the 6-year old flip phone.

Turns out it's her interpretation of an Icelandic poem. Here is the english translation.

Bjork - Vigil

My farm
my farm and yours
sleeps happily at peace
falls snow
silent at dusk on earth
my grass
my grass and yours
keeps the earth til spring

Nesting spring
hid at the hill's root
awake as are we
faith in life
quiet cold spring
eye of the depths
into the firmament
staring still in the night

Far away
wakes the great world
mad with grim enchantment
disquieted
fearful of night and day
your eyes
fearless and serene
smile bright at me

My hope
your blest smile
rouses verse from sleep
the earths rests
silent in arms of snow
lily white
closes her blue eyes
my little girl

Why not get angry about the comments about Tamara Beraia's performance?
http://videosift.com/video/Stacatto-Interpretation-Prokofiev-s-Tocatta-very-hard

I prefer her performance to Huangci's, but I knew it would be hard for people to see past her goofy body language. Somebody there has already made fun of her appearance -- with a little poking, I'm sure you could start a real argument.

If you're searching for things to get righteously feminist about, I think you'll find classical music to be a treasure trove of chauvinism.

There's the embarassing objectification of all female instrumentalists on their album covers: http://sdf.org/l/5ee

There's the fact that until the innovation of blind auditions, women had a hard time getting positions in orchestras: http://sdf.org/l/5ef
(I apologize for Prof. Rouse's being a woman. I don't have time to find an equivalent article by a male to satisfy your demand that women's work not be showcased.)

I apologize for being a pre-70s feminist. I naïvely believe a good way to advance the cause of women is to show them as the equals and superiors of men in as many traditionally masculine fields as possible. I'm sure your method of whining about vocabulary and jumping at opportunities to distort the intentions of others will advance the rights of woman much further.

Please do start a "mascule" channel so that you can mock men by posting videos of them playing piano.

That'll show us.

quality the hell out of this video.
This should definitely be put in the femme channel BECAUSE the pianist is a woman. That is quite an accomplishment and that's exactly what that channel is there for.

LOL! So explain to me why isn't there a "male" channel so we can put every video that has males in it in that category? Nice double standards.

Always enjoy popping a left wing groupthink bubble... Reagan was correct, and Stewart is dead wrong. It has been repeatedly established that increased taxation results in decreased economic activity, and subsequent strangulation of tax revenue. What Stewart (et al) ignore is that America has the #2 highest business tax rate in the world (39.25%) behind only Japan (39.54%). And then the left wonders why 'evil' companies choose to operate in places like Hong Kong (15%), China (25%) and India (30%).

And the 'evil' rich? Our top tax rate is 39%. That's lower than Germany (49%), Japan (50%), Italy, and the UK (50%) - but it is higher than S. Korea (35%), India (30%), Finland, Argentina, Brazil, et al. The US is very middle of the road (leaning to high) in regards to top tax rates. This is statistical fact as opposed to Stewart rabble-rousing. The top 5% of U.S. wage earners pay over 60% of all federal income taxes. The top 50% pay a whopping 97.1%. The poor aren't paying squat.

To listen to Stewart you'd think businesses & the rich pay nothing, and the poor are the ones paying all the taxes. That is a left-wing delusion peddled which only the stupid and inattentive could possibly accept. The rich are the ones paying the taxes. So when a tax CUT happens, it is attacked as a 'cut for the wealthy'. Yeah, the wealthy get it because they are the only ones PAYING it. The only place you can 'cut' taxes for the poor & middle class is gasoline, state, social security, medicare, and medicaid. And yet oddly, no one on the left ever proposes alleviating THAT tax burden.

When you make a nation a friendly environment for business and wealth it results in wages, jobs, industry, growth, and (yes) TAX REVENUE. The "tax the rich to prosperity" concept the left ascribes NEVER works. A heavily taxed wealthy class combined with a low/un-taxed middle & poor class results in a disincentivized lower & middle class, inflation, depression, stagnation, low productivity, shrinking population, business flight, and eventual economic collapse.

Everything Stewart says here is baloney. No one is saying "no taxes on the rich and kill the poor!". Fiscal Conservativism advocates reasonable, sensible economic policy friendly to business, investment, and wealth. Such a method benefits everyone. America became great because it welcomed and rewarded business, wealth, ingenuity, creativity, and hard work. Countries like Germany (52% taxes) the UK (50%), France (50%), Italy (46%) and so on are the ones that have screwed up royally by stifling these attributes in their populations via socialization.

So I’m the first one in again

with the quiet and the window growing snow.

When I hear the furnace rouse itself

From its slumber, somehow suddenly I know

As my eye stops on one curled up in my lesson plan

That I’m just your little ampersand

When your voice springs from the intercom

with announcements and reminders and prayer

I remember how you made me feel

I was funny, I was thoughtful, I was rare

But like the jokes about my figure

kids think I don’t understand

I know I’m just your little ampersand.

After Christmas holiday you never asked to drive me home again

Sometimes in the staff room I’d catch your eye with “why’d it have to end”

But I know from how you worry at your wedding band

That I’m just your little ampersand

The last conjunction after every other and

I was just your little ampersand.
