As if you needed any, here they are bitching about Obama putting the weekly radio address on YouTube. 

Goodbye To The Presidential Radio Address? - President-elect Barack Obama has promised to put a video of the president's weekly radio address on YouTube every week. NPR's Susan Stamberg talks to host Andrea Seabrook about why this is an outrage.

My Favorite TV Show

I enjoy poking around on Hulu every now and then to get my fill of Airwolf, old American Gladiator episodes, and Barack Obama speeches. But damn, was I THRILLED to find out that they have House Hunters too!  Johanna and I have a complete and total love of this show, and when we first bought our house, we spent months watching it and making fun of all the people on it.  Now we can watch it on demand!  Ahh, the internets.

Shouts & Murmurs: Undecided: Humor: The New Yorker

I look at these people and can’t quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention?

To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?”

To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.

At the Craps Tables With John McCain

“McCain immediately turned to the woman and said between clenched teeth: ‘DON’T TOUCH ME.’ The woman started to explain...McCain interrupted her: ‘DON’T TOUCH ME,’ he repeated viciously. The woman again tried to explain. ‘DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU’RE TALKING TO?’ McCain continued, his voice rising and his hands now raised in the ‘bring it on’ position. He was red-faced. By this time all the action at the table had stopped. I was completely shocked. McCain had totally lost it, and in the space of about ten seconds. ‘Sir, you must be courteous to the other players at the table,’ the pit boss said to McCain. “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? ASK ANYBODY AROUND HERE WHO I AM.”
