Two of my readers reminded me to upload Monday night’s
“Bush v. Bush” debate that The Daily Show was nice enough to put together for us.
(The Shrub now vs. himself the year he was running for President.)
I’d forgotten about it already when I realized how many other things I promised you guys yesterday.
But it really does deserve to go up first…
Here’s a Real Feed of it. (Quicktimes are still on the way.)
Okay so I had time to crunch a bunch of my audio and video from last week, and chop everything up into nice, digestible chunks. But then I didn’t have enough brain power to link to it and describe it all until I finished another project that was due today for school.
So that was today. Now I’ve got my life back for a couple days.
I know you’re all just hanging around waiting for the Alan Kay and Howard Rheingold and all the other goodies I promised from E-tech last week.
(Yeah, like, enough yappin’ already lady — kick with the video!)
Well I’ve got that and more — Daily Show Clips from last week and last night — the last week of news stories from other publications around the world that I was too busy to blog while E-teching — A video news clip of Lawrence Lessig and Zoe Lofgren talking about their new anti-spam bill on last night’s news…and….more….
My next deadline isn’t till Monday so I basically have the next 48 hours to catch up on everything else before things get ugly again school-wise.
Alright enough talk. Video on the way.
If you don’t know what movie I’m talking about, don’t worry about it 🙂
If you do and you know where it is, please let me know so I can download it and add it to my Internet Archive Library.
The page I link to from this post has gone bad.
Thanks!
I’m out of town with crummy connectivity all weekend.
That’s why there won’t be much going on here ’till Monday.
See you then!
Mike Hawash did not get released yesterday.
I’ve got more on that, yesterday’s alleged attacks on protesters and innocent longshoreman by Oakland police, and a bunch of other stuff in the kitty.
But first, I’ve got to get a good portion finished by mid-morning
(self-imposed deadline) on a Marxist analysis of the Simpsons tv show that’s due in a few days in one of my classes.
Anyone know of any good online resources for either subject? 🙂
I’ll be back here with bells on sometime after 10 am…
We’ll have to learn together about this stuff, because the more I learn about “it”, the more I realize I know even less about it than I thought I did.
How interesting that it’s tied back in with the Alien Registration Act of 1940.
I was thinking the Shrub Administration has been sucking us back thirty years with regard to foreign policy and nuclear power. But now I realize, regarding our policies at home and the way we’ve been treating people of color, we’ve actually gone back sixty years.
As far as separation of church and state go, it feels like gone backwards at least a hundred years!
The bad news is: this isn’t an episode of the Twilight Zone. This is the United States.
This is my country. Right here. Right now. April 6, 2003.
I must admit, I’m still in a bit of shock over the last six months.
Who woulda thunk it?
Oh well, time to get over it and fight back…
In the mean time, I promised some history so here’s a good start:
McCarthyism.
Okay sorry for the light postings yesterday. Sometimes it’s easier for me to crunch more video clips if I do a bunch of them at once and kind of get into a rhythm of sorts.
In the kitty: Chris Rock on the Daily Show, Paul McCartney chills out a bit for the Pope (but gets in a funny), more Daily Show updates on my country’s beligerent Secretary of Defense and new found McCarthyesque trends, and a clip from a 1974 Rockford Files episode that won’t need any explaination once you see it for yourself.
I’ve got a bit of reading to do for school (that I won’t do if I don’t do it before I start posting because I know how I am) and then the games will begin…
She doesn’t mince too many words, either.
I always thought a lot about Lisa Marie when I was a little girl growing up because she had (partly) the same name as me and was born the same year as me and I was told we looked a little alike (at the time).
(At least my relatives thought so 🙂
I remember when Elvis died. I was like 5 or 6 years old, but I remember.
I remember that the first thing I thought of was Lisa Marie. I hoped she was going to be okay. Not just right at that moment, but in general.
I’ve pretty much been worried about her ever since. Some crazy emotional attachments you never outgrow, perhaps.
Anyway, I found this interview pretty interesting. Maybe you will too.
The city is replacing two telephone poles on my block, so, this morning, without any notice, my main video station (TV, TiVO, VHS, video editing machine) is out of commission.
Luckily, I had already captured the blogging segment from NBC Nightly News w/Tom Brokaw last night from my TiVO into my video camera, so I’m over at a friend’s out on my laptop crunching away. So stuff should be going up soon 🙂
Hi guys.
I found myself stopping and taking a deep breath for a minute and being thankful to be safe at home reading this stuff on a computer…Everything’s still okay…
Okay. It’s not okay. Obviously. This stuff is getting crazier and crazier.
But we’re still gonna work hard together and beat it! We’ll take our country back and make the world safe again.
I know I must sound like the ultimate optimist right now. But I feel that we have to remain positive, yet determined, in the face of these horrors.
