Who the hell is Alan Grayson?

Okay, this pic of a member of congress, somewhat insane according to Matt Taibbi, grilling a representative of the federal reserve on how much of their activities are on the up and up is extremely awesome. I've never heard of this guy, but he's like a deranged congressional vigilante. I love him.

Green Lantern Lives!

Okay, so after all my complaining, I finally got around to reading, in this order:

Green Lantern: Rebirth
Green Lantern: No Fear
Green Lantern Corps: recharge.

If you've ever been the least bit interested in green lantern stuff, now is the time. These new stories blow away anything that came before. Great characters, great plots, fantastic artwork, epic SF, it's beautiful. Everything I've been wanting out of Green Lantern but have never had. I was giddy while reading them in certain parts. A fantastic reboot of the franchise. Well worth your time and hard earned dollars. If you are at all interested in the new Green Lantern Stuff, start here. The best stuff DC has put out in years.

Delayed Gratification

Stolen from Andrew Sullivan's blog (I've stolen several from him), a video of very young, cute children struggling with the concept of delayed gratification and marshmellows.

This made me laugh out loud. Posted on the review section for the barenaked ladies album "Snack Time"


Adding: Since the image is so small, I'll type it out:

"To the guy who lamented that this album 'seems like an album for children': This IS an album for children."

Awesome

The middle part with the vector graphics is especially good.
