When life gives you lemons
I didn’t get a chance to watch last night’s 217th Democratic debate live because (1) Comcast sucks and doesn’t include MSNBC in their basic channel lineup, and (2) MSNBC seriously sucks because it’s built entirely for Microsoft, and though they finally upgraded their website so Firefox on a Mac can view recorded videos, we’re still […]

Cemetery ride
The Atlanta Intown Touring Club is a great way to see the sights of our fair city while earning the calorie-laden beers you’ll want afterward.

Local smorgassbord - water optional
Rusty at Radical Georgia Moderate is hosting this semi-month’s Georgia Blog Carnival, and did quite the job sorting and categorizing a lot of local content. Go kill the rest of your Friday.
I thought I might, then decided not to, submit a video for this round of Carnival, which I whipped up last weekend for a […]

McCain’s beach rock song a real hit
Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran!
This is some seriously disturbing news from Bush’s last gasp at being relevant: U.S. has “urgent need” to outfit stealth bombers with bunker busters.
Tucked inside the White House’s $196 billion emergency funding request for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is an item that has some people wondering whether […]

If a UGC project falls in the internet
…and no one is watching, does it go *poof*?
In a delayed follow-up to last week’s post on political video, I wanted to pause for a moment of silence in memory of a dead internet project that no one seems to have missed.
Back in late August, I noted that the Politico had a page in its […]

Happ-e-birthday
Bill Clinton just sent us an email asking us to wish Hillary a happy birthday at a new page on her website. Hillary turns 60 on Friday.
Way to leave it till the last minute, Bill! Typical husband, tsk tsk. (This scolding brought to you buy a guy who routinely sends […]

Not gay!
Hoo-boy, the GOP is trying the new media thing again! This time, the NRCC has a contest out urging folks to make web video ads based on the slogan that won their previous contest: “Has the Democratic Congress Worked For You?”

Who’s watching online political video, and where?
After my second video for Huffington Post’s Off the Bus project, I was really starting to wonder just what kind of market for political video there is online. (I have always been wondering, but now I’m really wondering, you see.) I figured there was a niche, but I was worried that it was […]

Last Chance: It’s Miller PBR Time!
Happy Friday, y’all, I’m done. Wish I could go back in time and get stuck here, but the Vortex’ll do.
