It’s a Saturday. A slow news day. In the hot, lazy summertime. Nothing much goin’ on. Can’t find much interesting to post. And a number of you always seem to complain about how many of the things we editors and John post suck. Well, now let’s see how well you smarty pants can do.
Post a link to a story you find interesting or funny or whatever. Add some insightful commentary. But watch it. We’ll be monitoring (don’t forget the guidelines), so no pr0n or inappropriate crap (yeah, I know that that can be a fine line, even here) as we’ll delete it.
If you have a video, don’t post it, just link to it. Too hard to not screw up the html of the site unless you know how to do it. And if you have a long url, please be kind and use tinyurl.com to shorten it.
Oh, yeah. One final point. Like I really need to mention this, but no reason for you to hold back (as if you ever do) on commenting on another commenter’s story. Let ’em have it, pro or con, just like normal.
Now, show your ol’ Uncle Dave what you’ve got!

That story is baloney. Any credibility they had (which wasn’t much) was lost when they say “Most American families use trusted and responsible Internet Service Providers, such as AOL…”
Har!

Bat for Lashes.
Since, there’s lots of videos lately. Here’s one (music) that’s a little creepy and a little sexy. Give it 40 seconds at least.

The NAACP invited all 9 Republican candidates to the forum, but only one showed up: Tom Tancredo. All the Democratic Presidential hopefuls showed up for their forum.

Watch this interesting movie about American health care

Loved it.
This will offend some Right Wing Nuts, revolt some neo-cons, guaranteed to nauseate Republicans, scare conservatives, repel Evangelicals, and give the radio head shut-ins something to talk about.
Loved it.
In the future, things will pretty much be the same:

Glad you liked it! Much better than that “I’ve got a crush on Obama” video that’s out there…
It’s got all the good qualities I look for in a movie/book/significant other/etc… 😀
…Kinda like that Sicko link in #23! 😀
You guys “usually “do a great job.I have nothing to post.
