My Own Private Idaho
Ahh, the Larry Craig incident is oh so charming. If only I had a nickel for every gay politician who was republican and constantly railed against gay marriage…
I laughed when I saw this:
And also this…

Incompetence Knows No Bounds
 From The Consumerist:
Federal inspectors were able to slip a bomb past the TSA 5 out of 7 times, according to the Albany Times-Union. Here’s the best part: One fake bomb was placed in the same bag as a bottle of water. The TSA opened the bag, took the water, and let the bomb on the plane.

Disbarred!
Nifong’s done. From the news article:
County District Attorney Mike Nifong has been found guilty by the North Carolina State Bar for a battery of ethics violations in the Duke Lacrosse case, and ordered disbarred.
…Once Nifong’s bar trial concludes, he could still face civil lawsuits from the families of indicted Duke Lacrosse players.
Joe Cheshire, an attorney for the Evans family, said that he expects “excessive civil action” against Nifong.
Good riddance.

A Democrat with Balls
I don’t agree with everything he’s saying, but it’s about time a Democrat stood up and said what he’s saying… ladies and gentlemen, here is former Senator Mike Gravel at the South Carolina Democratic Party debates…

A Sad, Sad Day
There is a reason I don’t watch anything that Bill O’Reilly is in… chief among the reasons, this clip on YouTube (found via ViralVideo Chart).
O’Reilly is an absolute ass, and I can’t help but agree with Geraldo.
Oh, how sad it is when I start to agree with Geraldo Rivera…

Why is it important to you?
The European Central Bank was nice enough to put together this educational video that explains price stability and (as per the sub-title) why it is important to you.
I’m richly amused by the animation techniques that allow them to dub different languages with the same animated visuals…Â here’s the French, German, and Spanish versions…Â The ECB usually issues press releases in 20 different languages, I’m guessing they have a video for each one.
Now if we can just get people here in the US to understand price stability…

Philosophy of Liberty
I’ve often wondered why I am drawn to Libertarianism…
Philosophy of Liberty is a cute little animation that tries to distill Liberty down to a format that you can share with children (though many adults could benefit from seeing it…).

Non-Binding Protests
Check out Friday’s The Show (with Ze Frank) for an entertaining take on the attempted non-binding resolutions in congress…
The American public is planning to vote on a non binding resolution condemning non binding resolutions. Enough with the non binding. Anyone can do that. …
The public can do non binding resolutions, we call ‘em protests. And we do that to get the attention of elected officials who can do something about it. You’re elected officials and you have the power of the constitution… The President’s made it pretty clear he doesn’t give a crap about protests. …
At least make them filibuster, so we’re entertained while we wait.
