My birthday's not until Saturday so this is a bit early. But I thought it was nice that Sir Paul decided to wish me a Happy Birthday anyhow!

Music Monday – "Down in Saskatchewan/Never Meant No Harm To Anyone"
I was planning to throw together one last Meili tribute video since it's been a month to the day since the vote at the NDP convention. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll get it done tonight so instead, I'll dedicate today's “Music Monday” clip to Dwain Lingenfelter who, as I type this, is receiving the nomination […]
Sarah Palin Resigns, Is Naughty Librarian?
Sarah Palin announced her resignation on July 3, the Friday before a long weekend which is the classic tactic of a politician trying to bury bad news. But this is Sarah Palin we're talking about here and some are even speculating that she actually timed this announcement to try and tie her news into […]
Music Monday – "Then Every Head Turned With Eyes That Dreamed of Being The One"
I wracked my brains trying to think of a unique Michael Jackson song or clip but I think I exhausted the one possibility on that the day the news of his death broke. So instead, I went in the opposite direction (embedding disabled) with perhaps the definitive MJ video in a career that was filled […]
King of Pop Dies
There's tons of commentary all over the web after the news broke that Michael Jackson died today. I don't have much to add but here's a couple random thoughts….– like probably a million people, “Thriller” was my first “real” record (I'm not counting Mini-Pops and crap like that – er, except I loved the Mini-Pops […]
Music Monday – "Scaramouche, scaramouche/Will you do the fandango?"
A unique version of the infamous Queen song featuring a comic doing 25 of the most annoying distinctive voices in popular music. “Bohemian Rhapsody” – Queen

I first posted this video last Christmas but I think today's a much more appropriate spot for it. The underlying truth about Father's Day that I realised this year is that it isn't so much about celebrating fathers as it's a chance for fathers to celebrate their kids. (With that said, there's no reason a […]
Friday Late Link – Nerds vs. Jocks – The True Cultural Divide in America
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?).
"We've Woken Up This Party"
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 […]
Music Monday – "No one can look as good as you/Mercy!
[Edit: A loyal reader has informed me that edarem, the man who made the video below, is a registered sex offender in two states and has a variety of other creepy habits and histories. That makes this video about a million times creepier if that's possible.] Seriously, if you scare easy, don't watch this…
