John Hodgman roasts Barack Obama at the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner while trying to decide if the new President is a nerd or a jock (and including a subtle message that perhaps the expectations for Obama were set too high?).
Ryan's concession speech is now up on YouTube. I don't know what to say as I'm still, even a couple weeks later, oscillating between disappointment at how close the result was only to come up short in the end and unbelievable joy when I think about how much his campaign was able to accomplish in […]
Came across this article while doing some unrelated searches. It's short so I'll quote it in its entirety. The cool thing? It's from 2003! I don't know what the Sask NDP uses these days but hopefully they've only expanded their use of open source technologies! (The link back to the original NDP newsletter with three […]
Regina Leader-Post columnist, Will Chabun, has a different take on what Dwain Lingenfelter's role might be in the current political climate by drawing parallels to other times of upheaval for the provincial NDP.

The person was asking the question in terms of best advice for a young person just starting out in life but the thread sort of became a place to add links to some of the best […]
The MyHeritage Look-a-Like Meter is pretty fun. Pace apparently looks 11% more like Shea than me though to be fair, they have similar facial expressions in the picture I use, neither of them are wearing glasses while I am and of course, neither Pace nor his mother have a beard either!
I know I've been neglecting lots of things on this blog with all the political posts the past few months and the Friday Fun Link is one that I've felt most guilty about. Therefore, this week I'm going to do a pre-FFL, a real FFL and a post-FFL – lucky you! To start, Karaoke Machine […]
