agentotterHere are a few videos to expand your consciousness and carry forward the debate and WHATEVER:
* Craig Ferguson explains the main problem with everything: the deification of youth. Further proving that Craig Ferguson is a GENIUS.
* Keith Olbermann's special comment on health care reform, in which he tells us exactly who owns our representatives and how much it cost. I liked a fellow redditor's suggestion that we ought to start having our representatives start wearing Nascar-style jackets with all of their corporate sponsors' logos on them. It would make things so much simpler.
* Also on my list of awesome people: Rachel Maddow. Case in point: Rachel Maddow on health care reform and lobbyist strategists staging disruptions of town hall meetings. Because clearly the way to get your way, when you haven't got a leg to stand on with your own argument, is to make debate impossible.
And now, in other news:
Okay, I officially give up at art. This fucking six-year-old is better than me. There's no hope. Now I have to go die drunk and destitute in a gutter.
Now that we've got that out of the way, would you like to see the cutest thing ever? I thought maybe you would. Witness: bobcat kitten befriends fawn. And BOW TO THE GLORY OF THEIR SNUGGLEABLENESS.
Or don't. Not if you're a fan of Fuck You, Penguin, my new favorite blog where the author tells cute animals what's what. I laughed so hard I almost died. No, literally. I nearly choked on this delicious, delicious maple donut. My only regret with this website is that somebody else thought of it first.
In other news from the animal world, this free diver nearly drowned and was saved by a beluga whale. Oh, creatures of the sea. You're so smart, it actually scares me. Are you in league with the jellyfish? ARE YOU?!
To be added to the list of places I'd like to see before I die (not that I'll be going there anytime soon, mind you): the underground city of Kiraz, in Iran. Holy epic, Batman! Oh, early Persians. You're so awesome.
And here's one I just can't resist: Jensen and Jared. I KNOW I KNOW WHERE ARE THE STARGATES. That's what you're all wondering, because that's how I lured you all in here, right? But you guys, it's a Jensen/Jared high school AU VID. And okay, it should've been at least a minute shorter and it's not exactly the most exciting video you ever saw (it is NSFW, though, what with the porn), but man, I'm constantly blown away by what vidders can do with a little artistic editing. They can make Dean Winchester a serial killer (okay, he actually kind of is already, but I mean a serial killer of regular people), make Jensen and Jared high school boyfriends, make my little heart go pitty-patter, etc. Astounding!
And here's a news item for you that's kind of creepy. Admittedly, though I was a big X-Files fan back in the day, I didn't watch the spin-off The Lone Gunmen when it was on -- I think they should've let the Wong Bros. kill them in "Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man" like they wanted to, that would've been awesome, and though I was actually into those characters I didn't think there was enough to them to make an entire show... it'd sort of be like Ghostfacers: The Series -- so I missed this. And apparently so did like... everybody else? The pilot episode predicts a 9/11 scenario. That's disturbing me. It also makes me laugh and laugh when I see those old clips of the previous administration talking about how they never could've anticipated what happened, because believe me, people... if Chris Carter can imagine it, so can you. STFU.
