great way to put a message out

Filibuster - they are going to feel it buster. 

sweet home Chicago

He is smiling from deep inside while doing this. He is showing us another side. 

Does Mitt Romney

Does Mitt Romney get his tips from Ken?

politics on the moon

Hey look Sam there's a carrot

I love this kinda stuff. Don't know about you but it makes feel like these guys are more real.

Behind the scenes - white house

Some great performers doing some great music.

Being that the theme is Motown, I initially thought all the performers would be African-American.  Not so, and that says a good thing to me.  The main thing should be the talent and music coming from the artist.  The color of skin should play no role in it.

how many pens does it take

Yesterday I watched on Cspan the historical signing of the health reform bill.  As you might expect there was a big crowd gathered around the President as he sat down to sign it.

Here's the full video clip with speeches and the signing.

"On Behalf of My Mother"

But what surprised me was the number of pens he used to sign it.  After searching around today I found the number to be 22. 

Do you think that's a record number of pens?

No, LBJ used more that 75 to sign the Civil Rights Act.  Here's where I found that - Times site.

Now I'm wondering what company makes those pens.

Here's a clip about the signing pens that the White House put out.

( Sure hope they never start using those difficult check-out electronic signing machines.  Nobody can sign those dumb things.)

what if the news came as trailers

what you can learn on youtube

Youtube - oddball, weird clips that typically have awful comments.  That's true, but I have found some good and educational clips on youtube - like this one.

simple message

did you bring home anything from the meeting

Looks like some countries got T-shirts from Brazil.




I wonder what they do with those nice chairs now that the meeting is over?

Bail out burgers with Biden

"...Can you vouch for your fries?"

Sounds like Ray's Hell Burger doesn't offer regular fries. I don't know how their business was before but I bet this sure gave them a boost.

Remember that SNL skit about Clinton stopping in Mickey D's and eating other people's fries?


I picked this video up at the Chicago Tribune site - it comes with ads on top.

=====update====
The video from the Chicago Tribune site stopped playing (??) so here's a version from youtube.

===yet another update===
It's happened again, my posted video clip was taken down.
This is a different hamburger joint but maybe this clip will stay up.

some behind the scenes

I like this one because of the behind the scenes. Maybe those stage directors (I guess that would be the term) get use to directing famous stars around, but to tell the next President (now President) when and where to go would make me nervous.

I hope the change.gov team which transferred over to the whitehouse.gov keeps these videos up on youtube.
