This just in from Commoncraft, the fantastic folks who produced the tech-tastic Social Bookmarking in Plain English and RSS in Plain English videos. Finally, something helpful! Sheesh.
I was just saying to Michael that I’m waiting for the day the Village People get their props — not as artists, of course, but as truly brilliant subversive social revolutionaries. Doesn’t it make you giggle to think of millions of sporting fans the world-over semaphoring along to a song about gay sex?
And how brilliant would it be to hear it in Finnish?
I love how this man dances.
Okay. Time for some levity and raucous merrymaking. Courtesy of Bitter Cup of Joe:
Oh, this just makes me laugh.
I don’t really like to diss any of the dems, but I did have to chortle a bit when I heard Hilary do her “Daisy Mae meets Rex Harrison” on Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. So if you’re the 99th person out of 100 who hasn’t heard this, just sit back and listen to the soothing Southern drawl of Sen. Clinton.
[I think the Daisy Mae thing is mean. She's more like Rosiland Russell visiting Peckerwood in Auntie Mame.]
Once again, I think I’m learning about the silly, hip web site late, but I thought I’d share it just the same. This morning Susan linked to Overheard in New York from the Title of Show blog. I’ve lost the last hour just hitting random quotes and I’m sure I’ll keep going. Some of my favorites so far:

Just came home from seeing The Science of Sleep at the Coolidge, which I really dug. Then I saw this scrumptious YouTube vid posted by Susan on the [title of show] blog. Now I think it’s time for bed. What do you think I’ll be dreaming about tonight?
