Tim Minchin's stunning performance of his beat poem "Storm"
OMG! So few votes? This is brilliance.
The Evolution of Life in 60 Seconds
Um yeah. Gotta agree with gwiz665. Might be a great video, but I'm only able to watch the top quarter of it.
TYT: Glenn Beck will Steal your Soul!
Well, three bits of irony here that I'm surprised Cenk didn't mention:
He doesn't actually appear to be "looking you in the eye" on the closeup. He's looking over your right shoulder. He is looking you in the eye on the main picture, however....as do most newscasters, pundits, and blowhards.
"No one is standing guard (for the integrity of your government) anymore!"
Said on Fox. Nice. Well done. Bravo. <slow clap>
"They keep telling you you don't have a voice" etc.
WTF? This being told to you by a guy on national TV who has a high-school education and started his career in broadcasting after winning a contest.
Bush Harmonized By Talented Jazz Pianist
Wow. That is crazy.
All 44 American presidents morphed in sequence
Interesting that smiles instead of stern looks happened as of Carter, and carried on.
*edit:unless you want to count Nixon's smug look as a smile....
Wal-Mart employee trampled to death
Wow.
Well, that just made it to the top of my "Ways I Don't Want to Die" list.
Ralph Nader Addresses The "Uncle Tom" Incident
Hah. A nice example of a smackdown.
Dude scares roommate with ninja move
And this is so 120-plus-votes-worth of amusing how, exactly?
Karl Rove To Bill O'Reilly: Give Barack Obama A Chance!
QM: Straw man.
While the left campaign to smear Bush is certainly rabid in intensity (and I happen to concur with that), if anything, I think most left-leaning people hoped that *nothing* really bad would happen to America because they supposed that he and his administration would no doubt fuck up whatever response was deemed "necessary" and make things infinitely worse. Unfortunately, a few really bad things did happen and their worst fears were realized. Seize the opportunity and slam the guy? Absolutely.
It is idiotic and wholly disingenuous to suggest that people wanted bad things to happen to their own country just to make a village idiot look like....well: a village idiot. He managed that just fine at the best of times; ask any comic.
But then, being a troll, you knew that, didn't you?
Kid gets worst stagefright ever
Am I the only one disappointed that he didn't vomit by the end?
The View: Barack Obama Is Our President!
Squawk squawk squawk. babble.
Zeitgeist Addendum[LONG]
I have to agree. It would seem that biological evolution takes a species only so far, and even then only in an environment that doesn't change too quickly. When it does, by "natural" means or otherwise, it's extinction time.
Technology lets us step off of the Evolutionary treadmill. Most everything we have today we owe to our ingenuity as a species.
No, it's not perfect. Yes, it's dangerous.
...and we will only survive if we are worthy. I think that's a pretty healthy and proven model to grow a species by.
McCain & Obama have an awkward moment at the Debate
Zzzzzzzz.....huh? Sorry, I was dreaming about what colour to paint my bike shed. What happened here? Oh....Zzzzzzzzzz
Interview - Naomi Wolf - Give Me Liberty
I hope a lot of people see this and are moved by it. If she's off the mark, it's not by too damn far imho. Even sitting just north of the border, I'm starting to get more than a little nervous.
Thanks for getting it out there CP.
→CONVERSION EMERGENCE // CONVERGENT IMMERSION←
I now feel an overwhelming urge to go send my kids off to fight in a very profitable war, run up my credit card debt and pay it off working for a person I despise, watch more TV, drive my SUV to the gym, go to church on Sundays and hate everyone who doesn't, vote for McCain because he says so, attack people not ideas, drop in and tune out, buy more stuff I don't need, stop reading anything but what I'm asked to by others, and await the End of Times.
