Videogum.com

Just a quick heads-up for anyone not aware of this website already, and looking to waste a little time: Videogum.com is a funny, well-written website with a little something for everybody. Here's a taste: I just read a post entitled "Children Have Trouble Cutting Bread the Darndest Things," which I think is an amazing title, especially since the post consisted almost exclusively of the video found below.


Not all of the posts are this ridiculous, but this is a website well worth an occasional visit. I liked this post entitled, "Seth MacFarlane is Not Even the Smartest Person in the Jail Where He Belongs." It's a reaction to Entertainment Weekly's list of the 25 Smartest People in TV, and I couldn't agree more - although he is at least smart enough to stick to his formula which exploits the public's desire for simple, lowest common denominator "humor."

Lastly, here's a great article by Charles Krauthammer about the future of America and what to make of President-elect Obama's appointments. And here's a thoughtful article from the National Journal about GM's past and possible future and how a bailout of the auto industry (excuse me, Automotive Bride Loan) would help/hurt. I'm on the fence. Fortunately, nobody seems to care what people like me think.
