Twitbits
Picked up a bunch of links in the last 24 hours that are too short to comment on, but worth reading.
Why was Abu Ghraib bad girl Lyndie England invited to give a lecture at the Library of Congress? It was cancelled after threats. No answer to the first Q but I'm willing to bet the threats didn't come from lefties.
In this video segment, Maddow skewers Dick Armey and his, now former, DLA Piper Law and lobbyist firm. Armey, as you may know was just forced to resign after media scrutiny of his activities as head of Freedom Watch. Scrutiny that as instigated in large part by Maddow's relentless focus on the astroturfers. I really can't wait for Meet the Press this Sunday when the two of them are the same table.
This is longish, but if you read nothing else, read Rick Pearlstein's excellent history of the crazytrain. It has been chugging down the Beltway track for decades and he doesn't spare any scorn for the media fail that's allowed it to pick up so much steam.
If you missed Jon Stewart on Glen Beck and his former view of the medical system after he underwent hemmoroid surgery, it's not to be missed.
This was hilarious. Must view of the day. Fox focus group backfires on Sean insHannity! Their own focus group called them liars.
If there was any doubt that the town hall protesters don't really give a flying leap about the legislation and are just looking to act out their anger, this will remove it. Oops, Republican Protestors Missed the Healthcare Forum. One person actually brought a cowbell! On some level it's funny. Made me laugh anyway, albeit sardonically.
This guy gives Rude Pundit for his money. As he said, "I've been ruder, but don't remember when." Just read it.
This was sweet. Very short vid of a dance sequence from It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, World. Oldsters will appreciate it.
Very cool complilation here of the Eiffel Tower from 78 dramatic angles.
And QOTD, from tweeter docpark. "We're so conditioned to seeing lights move on a screen - the silence of a shooting star is alarming - like you've gone deaf."
