Fun

A good day all around.
 

One of the more amusing microsites I've seen in a while.  Worth the click and a few minutes of your time.

MoveOn.org has posted must-see video of conservative provocateur and serial liar Andrew Breitbart captured earlier this year at the CPAC conference.  Obviously, the mainstream media needs to get on this incredible story.

I read Tony Messengers' column about Parents As Teachers' deep budget cuts with great interest this morning.  My mom is a parent educator and state trainer for PAT, and I'm a new parent and participant myself.  I can tell you the reductions in state funding and are very real.

However, I must take issue with a gross factual error in the column. Messenger describes Kit Bond and Jay Nixon as "arguably the most powerful politicians in Missouri" -- I'm quite confident this is false, and that no serious observer of Show-Me State politicians would make such an argument.  The Most Powerful Man in Missouri is Speaker Ron Richard -- obviously.

Everything you need to know is contained in this two-part series from KODE, first broadcast in May 2009.

The good people at Google have a very cool new application that allows anyone to create a "Search Story" like one they made for their Super Bowl commercial.  It's very easy to use -- the video above took about 3 minutes to create.

Please leave some of your better creations in comments -- if we get a lot of great submissions, we might do something fun with them!

Educate yourself about the Republicans new tactics. 

I'd like to give Roy Blunt credit for this, but if you're going to pander to the Mizzou crowd: it's "kU," not "KU."
