Apparently, the super-rich are highest on the Republican's priority list, even higher than the 9/11 first responders they claim to love so much. "Since when does the Republican party make 9/11 first responders stand over in the corner with the gays and Mexicans?"



Can it be more obvious that Republican's core principle = money? (And if it's not, they're sure going about things the wrong way.)

SNL is hit or miss (OK, lots of misses) but the "human parking cone" was one of the funniest things I've heard in a while.

Finally, a politician that doesn't sound like a clueless idiot in the pockets of corporations. Not surprisingly, he's an Independent. For all our sakes, I really hope his colleagues listen to him.

Many of my Republican colleagues tell me, "Oh, I'm so concerned about our record-breaking deficit... But wait a minute, it's very important that we give over a 10 year period $700 billion in tax breaks to the top 2%." We're concerned about the debt, we're concerned about the deficit. But we are more concerned that millionaires, people who earn at least a million dollars a year or more, get on average $100,000 a year in tax breaks.

Whether you're Democrat, Republican, independent, or not interested in politics, watch this:

Years and years (and years) ago my brother & friend used to make fun of trials riders and their stupid little hopping around "tricks." Today, trials rider Danny MacAskill is easily one of the best riders I've ever seen.

There's a new video of him, and not only does it feature some of the most amazing bike control you'll ever witness (the dude will rockwalk drop-in off of anything!) but it's beautifully shot and edited.

I didn't know who German filmmaker Werner Herzog was until I recently saw Grizzly Man. (Sidenote: that movie was not what I expected.) Now that I'm familiar with him, I find these readings of children's books by "Herzog" hilarious:

"Werner Herzog Reads Mike Mulligan And His Steam Shovel"


"Werner Herzog Reads Curious George"

Cute joke, but it's her laugh that really gets me every time.

It might be the remaining NyQuil in my system clouding my judgement, but this video was the funniest thing I've seen in years:

I watched this video on the train last night (via the Radio Lab podcast) and thought it was very cool, not to mention more moving than I thought it would be:

So, are there any Sox fans who are still complaining about swapping Manny for Bay?

Also...

Jill was watching this tonight and I had to include it. Funny stuff...

If I remember correctly, when disagreement was expressed about [Bush's] actions when y'all were in power, I believe the response was: "Why do you hate America? Watch what you say. Love it or leave it. Suck on my Truck Nutz."

And I thought Joe Morgan was bad. Here's Dustin Pedroia batting with the count 1-yellow and 1-blue:

Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job is bizarre & hilarious. One recent bit that consistently cracks me up is when they took a bit of a janitor's tirade and used Auto-Tune to make it a song:



This clip is from the bizarre Cinco Travel Urinal Shower video.

A short documentary on Circle A Cycles featuring my brother, Brian:

Very funny video of Katie Couric interviewing Sarah Palin:

Couric: What newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this, to stay informed and to understand the world?
Palin: I read most of them, again, with a great appreciation for the press, for the media...
Couric: But, like, what ones specifically, I'm curious, did you...?
Palin: Uh, all of them. Any of them.

Sadly, her answer reminds me of Homer Simpson:

Horst: You have been safety inspector for two years. What initiatives have you spearheaded in that time?
Homer: Uh...all of them?

Oh yeah, and when Terry Tate tackled her. That was funny, too.

I loved the Scandinavian reaction (both the bartender and the patrons) to Bart Simpson's prank phone call...

Amelia drew a picture and told the story of Mighty Snake. I took her drawing and recorded story, then put it all together in iMovie. You can see the result here...

I've been meaning to check out Last.fm + YouTube = music tv goodness for a while, and it's pretty cool: If you have a Last.fm account, plug it in and watch videos by bands you like. It's like a personalized MTV (back when MTV actually played videos, of course). Here's "my" channel.

I thought this was hilarious. Typeface humor...God, I'm a design nerd.
