I Like Turtles

I don’t know why, but this video clip makes me laugh so hard it hurts. It’s a ten year old kid at a county fair being interviewed for the local news. Here’s the setup, from today’s Washington Post:

Let’s take it from the top. It’s May 31. [Jonathon] Ware and his sisters are visiting the Rose Festival in Portland, Ore. Jonathon has just left a face-paint booth, where he has emerged looking like Bart Simpson remade as a flesh-eater from “Dawn of the Dead.” A KGW correspondent is on hand for one of those “Look what’s happening downtown!” stories that are a staple of local news. She stops Jonathon and asks him to stand still for a quick, live interview.

Keith Olbermann on True Independence

On the blog we often speak out strongly about social issues, but not usually about politics.
I’m making an exception by airing MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann’s latest commentary. I liked it enough that I think it deserves sharing. Watch his take on John Wayne, patriotism, and Independence Day. He has finally had enough of the Bush Administration.
