The most amazing video I’ve seen in quite a while

Just watch. I simply cannot believe this.

Naturally the ruling by a federal judge yesterday that “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is unconstitutional is a positive thing. The case was originally filed in 2004, it’d be a major embarrassment for Obama’s Justice Department to pursue it further in an appeal (and now that the case has been decided they have no technical obligation […]
Meh, okay. He should get out of the White House as soon as possible, especially with the elections coming up. What’s more interesting is who Obama will appoint as his new Chief of Staff. It probably goes without saying that it’d be better if he chose somebody not currently part of his administration, but it’s […]
Ahhh, something tells me this isn’t a good idea:
For someone convicted of endangering the welfare of a child, for instance, a judge might now learn that a three-year prison sentence would run more than $37,000 while probation would cost $6,770. A second-degree robber, a judge could be told, would carry a price tag of less […]
It speaks volumes that even Sarah Palin (the one who recently said that an Islamic community center planned for Manhattan stabs her in the heart) has come out against the idiotic Koran-burning planned in Florida on the 9th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. She recently posted a Facebook message saying:
I would hope that Pastor […]
From a recent Arizona Republican primary debate. Naturally, Arizona Republican voters chose to re-nominate her to lead their state.
The first general election debate is next Wednesday, and the Democratic candidate is challenging her to 6 more public debates. With a performance like the above video, it’s not hard to see why her campaign hasn’t responded […]
This little “national anthem trailer” was created by the Department of Defense. It’s actually hard to believe it’s not a parody, it’s that over the top.
The irony here is, perhaps literally, killer:
The National Transportation Safety Board warned 15 years ago that Alaska suffers too many air accidents from flying under conditions like those in which a De Havilland floatplane crashed on Monday, killing former Alaska senator Ted Stevens and four other passengers. The 1995 report found that a significant share […]
On Thursday as I was walking from work to the subway here in Chicago, I noticed on the CBS2 jumbotron in Daley Plaza that President Obama was at the Chicago Cultural Center. That’s only a block or two past the L station I was heading to, so I just kept going to see what was […]
This item hit store shelves in 1970. Hat tip - Trav.
I am encouraged to read the recent statement made by the Librarian of Congress bolstering and clarifying the fair use doctrine (which lays out exemptions from US copyright law in certain instances).
This is great news for consumers and documentary filmmakers alike. Instead of the overgrown American copyright lobby (MPAA, RIAA, etc) influencing this strengthening clarification, […]
From the NYT obit:
In 2007, at the unveiling of a portrait of Mr. Byrd in the Old Senate Chamber, former Senator Paul S. Sarbanes of Maryland, a colleague of 30 years, recalled that Mr. Byrd had taught him how to answer when a constituent asked, “How many presidents have you served under?”
“None,” was Mr. Byrd’s […]
Especially after this stunning development in the trial, and the fact that Viacom only intiated its lawsuit against YouTube after it failed to buy it, the news that Viacom has lost their lawsuit is indeed good news.
Naturally, they’ll appeal, but c’est la vie with corporate lawsuits.
No comment needed. Hat tip- Trav.
