Obama and the House GOP members had an excellent conversation today – question time like.  While some House members looked like fools, it was actually a constructive chat and I sort of earned respect for a few GOP members of Congress.  Oh my god, imagine that.  Enjoy…

P.S.  Fox News cut away from the conference very early on.  I assume Drudge will bury the story.  This is exactly what is wrong with America.  I also assume Rush Limbaugh will blast the GOP for opening a dialogue.  So, this is likely and unfortunately the last time we’ll see something worthwhile get done between Obama and House GOP members.

Here’s a less entertaining – but still awesome – YouTube clip…

I can’t tell if she’s joking or not…I don’t think she is.

Kevin Rose, thank you.

What most people thought was a link to Major Garrett’s analysis of Obama’s 1st State of the Union address actually ended up being a link to an Escort site.

As presumed, Major (Fox News) insists that bit.ly is to blame for posting the wrong link.  Garrett – stop yanking it (or trying to line up a whore) during the State of the Union address….that is, unless google is wrong too.

Update: Gawker had a posting regarding Major’s transgressions around 4:00 am earlier today…whoops.

Amy, thank you.

Yes, this clip is floating around everywhere on the internets but I laughed…so, I’ll post it.

I can hear Rod Roddy – RIP – hollering, “A new car!!!” Oh, how I miss the good ole Price is Right days.

The Big Lead, thank you.

An individual from a town hall with President Obama in Elyria, Ohio makes a sales pitch for his US patent 7,397,731.

So, what is James’ invention? He said it could make Obama’s 2012 campaign a lot of money and help him build a company in Ohio. A digital calendar?

Huh, I don’t get the campaign money making idea from a perpetual day reminder calendar but here’s some information I found on this weird patent. Click the image below to view the patent report.

Why are people posting what their fine is on Facebook? How do you calculate what your facebook fine is? It looks like instructions get sent via facebook inbox if you ask your friend that posted their fine.  But, you can click the image below for more info without asking…

Pretty sweet…click-through the image below a few times to enlarge.

Digg, thank you.

Below is a clip showing Mark Penn saying cocaine several times during an interview on Hardball with Chris Matthews. Per the book Game Change by John Heilemann & Mark Halperin, he then later bragged about his feat?!?

I clearly recall seeing this clip live and – at that point – realized the Clinton campaign is unbelievably screwed if a jag bag like Penn is speaking on their behalf. It’s my opinion this whiny, manipulative, lying, etc. bastard ended up single handily sinking their ship. Thankfully.

Here’s the transcript from the Hardball interview with Joe Trippi, David Axelrod, and Mark Penn.

P.S. I’ve never been a fan of Edwards, but, it was encouraging that his camp tried to run a pretty clean campaign…as seen in the clip above with Trippi.

Love it!  The f_ck yous at the end of the clip made me laugh hard.  Unless I’m missing something, I don’t see Dubya…just his secret service guys.

“In this undated photo provided by the International Game Fish Association shows Manabu Kurita of Aichi, Japan holding his July 2, 2009 record catch – a largemouth bass caught – on Lake Biwa, Japan’s largest lake.

After nearly six months of waiting, he taking his place along side another angler, as dual holders of the All-Tackle record for largemouth bass each weighing 22 lb 4 oz and caught 77 years apart.“

And, I thought that 4 pound 15 oz bass I caught when I was younger was awesome.

Breaking News, thank you.

This is all over the internets/digg already – but, it’s unbelievably funny and would have been massed emailed to everybody in my address book pre-blog.  So, without further ad0…

Jason, thank you.
