Like Phil at Bad Astronomy, I’ve always been intrigued by Antarctica and have wanted to visit there. But this video clip gives a brief — but sufficient — glimpse into the cold, dark, windy hell that Antarctica can be: http://view.break.com/487339 – Watch more free videos Wowza. That looks like “ten steps and die” weather. ..bruce […]
OK, I really don’t care about the political preferences of the people how made this — it’s just brilliantly done: And where’d they get the high-quality capture of The Dark Knight? Hat tip to 2008 Central. ..bruce w..
OK, after watching this video, I’m having to really rethink my support for Sarah Palin (and the old guy): Heh. ..bruce w..
…or at least cluelessness, the Obama campaign released (on TV) today an ad that, among other things, mocks McCain for not using e-mail or knowing how to use a computer, presumably because he’s so old (another theme of the ad).

Existence is a vulgar absurdity.’”: Pre-Game Coin Toss Makes Jacksonville Jaguars Realize Randomness Of Life The Onion […]
Purple Avenger (at Ace of Spades) posted the following video. Avenger’s not sure if it’s real or a parody, neither am I: This post over at Reason says that “Syndee L’ome Grace” is a real person, and her name certainly does show up via Google. But . . . sheesh. ..bruce w..
S. Weasel made the poster to the left; I may try to get a larger version to stick onto our car. Also, because they deserve more attention, two items which I tacked onto my previous post plus a few new ones: Jeff Emanuel has a detailed and — IMHO — rather devastating “tale of the […]
Video o’ the day
This has been showing up in various places; I finally watched it and was moved: An observation on the closing song.
