  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

The ghosts of the cold war die hard. Heck, the ghosts of the civil war are still haunting our political system. I can see a Ghostbusters sequel in this somewhere.

Great exposé by Moyers. Seems a shame, though, that it's wasted on an idiot who no one outside of a small group of ineffectual idiots will ever take seriously.
