If there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now... and by the way, I stole that too.

My first Fliver.

I bought a Flip Video camera the other day, and here’s what I’m going to do with it:

Every day, I’m going to record something that interests me. It might be an interesting image… or it might be an interview with someone on the street.

I’m going to allow myself 60 minutes of video a week and, at the end of the week, I’m going to edit a short video for the week. I’m going to take whatever inspires me from the raw footage, and create the week’s video out of it.

This first video was shot on the day I got the camera, Friday, April 18th. It’s fish from the fish tank at the Beverly Hilton. We all had a lot of fun staring at these guys while we were filming in LA.

I guess I’ve becomed a known Jeremiah Wright defender because an internet friend, Jim Adler, sent me this video.

I didn’t catch this ‘til today.  You GOTTA give Edwards props for making it through the Word, and doing a decent job of it. 

Anyone who works in the field knows it’s infinitely more complicated to deliver The Word than Letterman’s Top Ten List.

Government-funded website blocks searches on abortion. The search database Popline dubs itself a “connection to the world’s reproductive health literature.” But the government-funded site, run by Johns Hopkins University, has recently begun blocking searches on the word abortion, “concealing nearly 25,000 search results”

tent city in suburbs is cost of home crisis

I found this article fascinating - evoking Hoovervilles, of course.

 But Reuters… what the F with this story?!?  Here’s a quote from the 5th paragraph:

     While no current residents claim to be victims of foreclosure, all agree that tent     city is a symptom of the wider economic downturn. And it’s just a matter of         time before foreclosed families end up at tent city, local housing experts say.

So, there are no people in tent city because of the home crisis.  There’s just a tent city… and a home crisis.

Have they not heard about the economic stimulus package? They’re gonna be fiiiinnnnneeeeee.

“Between railroad tracks and beneath the roar of departing planes sits “tent city,” a terminus for homeless people. It is not, as might be expected, in a blighted city center, but in the once-booming suburbia of Southern California. The noisy, dusty camp sprang up in July with 20 residents and now numbers 200 people, including several children, growing as this region east of Los Angeles has been hit by the U.S. housing crisis.”

Bin Laden issues new message … that doesn’t mention fifth anniversary of Iraq invasion? Update: Audio added Great point from HotAir.  Hmm, I guess Iraq is so important to the terrorists that the Al Queda-in-chief forgot the Anniversary in his speech.
