Insanely funny video


You need to watch this, Tiffani Thiessen on why she is too busy for the "Saved by the Bell" reunion.

Too Funny

William Shatner is a national treasure. Here he is reading Palin's tweets as free verse. Very funny.

Daily Show joke- Recumbent One

Recumbent One
John Stewart's team on the Daily Show while riffing on President Obama's hosting of a Poetry Jam asked if he was soon going to be riding around on "Recumbent One". The original image was Bryan Ball riding with a group of USS recumbents. Quite amusing.

Update:
I believe a better choice for Recumbent One would be Jim Artis' VK2, that is a high performance beauty.
'09 Configuration
Update: Corrected Jim's Name.

Fun with Photos

SPEED - lowracer
There is a fun app to make motivational posters. I couldn't resist using this picture of me beating a couple of roadies up a hill for fun. I might point out that this was a rolling hill and I was able to use the previous downhill to crest it but that would be like a magician revealing his tricks, just not done. So I won't. :)

MN state government hilarity


This starts off slow but it gets quite lively. Very amusing video of Minnesota House of Reps in action.

Quote of the day

From: Kung Fu Monkey

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

As a recumbent rider this Dilbert is quite amusing. I much prefer the solution below for my needs.

Critical Thinking

Bad Astronomy linked to a Cracked piece on 5 Ways 'Common Sense' Lies to You Everyday. This is a bit NSFW but a very good read. It does point out that Common Sense is often a guide to how to get it wrong. Check it out.

Daily Show: The war on Science (Video)


This is hilarious. The topic is fun but the interaction between John Oliver and Jon Stewart is what really sells this clip.

Cramer vs Stewart - KO Blow

John Stewart ran an amazing interview last night. It is the KO Blow in the Cramer vs Stewart series and needs to be seen. I will embed the three unedited not show on TV versions of the interview. Additionally I will put up the CBS Evening News summary and coverage of the interview. I won't be able to show any MSNBC coverage since the producers of MSNBC were told not to mention it today. Quite sad considering GE owns CNBC, NBC and MSNBC. For shame NBC, but it is a good illustration how ownership of multiple radio stations, TV stations and newspapers should be limited as it was in the 1980s. This mass ownership creates censorship rules favorable to their corporate master.

Just a quick note. I was very impressed with Jon Stewart, he was obviously in command of the materials and research. Play clip 202, play clip 212, etc, in response to Cramer's answers to various questions. Jon Stewart is what journalism should be and it is sad that he outshines those who make it their chosen profession. I do wish for real journalism on shows such as Meet the Press, but it is rarely evident.
