Video Find of the Day
Here's a sign that I may be recovering from my week of weak internet. I'm back to back-posting daily video finds! Here's a video from the Onion that was posted to YouTube in July, but is even better now, given the intervening stock market crash.

YouTube Contest
Video Find of the Day
This is an OCD post made exactly 24 hours after the time stamped on it. I had to get to bed at a ridiculously early hour (for me) yesterday in order to get up before the chickens for the 14th Anniversary Real Change Benefit Breakfast that was held this morning. Which went great by the way, I only wish Sherman Alexie's people would let me video him and put the video on YouTube, but we've been through that at other events and I know they won't. That fact has nothing to do with why I think this recent entry from The Onion is so awesome.
The crack about teen violence at the end is great, too.

Election News Critique
Video Find of the Day
Recent War For The White House entry by the Onion. Not about the election, but about the coverage. Really, a horrid little video actually.

The Other Culture War
Video Find of the Day
The conservatives have hijacked the concept of Culture War. There are other culture wars besides theirs. For example, there is the long struggling but still strong Rebel Alliance against Disney.

Satire Wars
Video Find of the Day
It should be obvious by now that I love satire. What I most love about it is the cosmic humor inherent in it, rather than the malice. That is, I enjoy the humor directed at the high position that truth and objective reality holds in peoples' minds. Satire makes fun of the idea that there is objective truth, as much as it attacks public figures. What's funny about the New Yorker's latest cover is simply that it is false, but the falsehood of its proposition is NOT objective, because if it were, there wouldn't be so many people believing the proposition! "Objective" implies a consensus, at least of expert opinion. But in a society where "expert opinion" can be the opinion of anyone who is a consultant for Fox News, there can't be consensus. Ha, ha!
As funny as that cover is, I still think the Onion is way funnier than the New Yorker, every day.
