Watch this video to see how Jon Stewart Catches Sean Hannity Falsifying Footage To Make GOP Protest Appear Bigger

Follow this link to the HuffPo article that brought this to my attention.

Sean Hannity To Jon Stewart “You Were Right” About Bogus Video. It was all a mistake. Watch this video.

This may turn out to be the never ending story. The following video is Jon Stewart’s response to the Hannity response:

Watch the following video:

This shows you why this liberal does not watch or listen to TV and Radio shows that are supposedly aimed at a liberal audience.

It is the hard headedness and lack of the ability to reason that keeps me from watching the right wing shows. Why would I want that crap on a left wing show?

In the first few decades of William F. Buckley, I would listen to his reasoned arguments even though I disagreed. Then he lost it and I stopped watching.

What’s old is new. Watch this video of water bouncing off a surface.

The pictures of this are interesting even if the explanation is probably somewhat off the mark. I guess it takes a physicist rather than a mathematician to explain the observation.

There is an article on softpedia.com Understanding Water Drop Back-Jet Physics that has a more physical explanation. They also completed a high-detail computer model of the phenomenon, one that comprises more than 30,000 frames per second.

Picture from above article

For even more physics there is the article Between bouncing and splashing: water drops on a solid surface.

My freshman adviser at MIT, Harold Edgerton, made a famous milk drop photograph in 1957.

Harold Edgerton was an electrical engineer and began to take photographs as scientific experiments. In his first, he tried to produce a perfect coronet from a single drop of milk falling into liquid. To do this he invented the stroboscope – a device to produce short bursts of light. This allowed him to take split-second pictures of objects in motion which could not be seen by the human eye, including bullets and hummingbirds in flight, light bulbs shattering, and athletes in action. Some of his photographs had an exposure time of less than 1/10,000 of a second.

I hope this article can help quell whatever misplaced anger there might be over the incident at Fort Hood.

Jon Stewart just loves Glenn Beck’s digestive and immune system so much, and he fears for it.

You probably had to have watched Glenn Beck to fully appreciate this video. I still found it funny even though I never have seen a Glenn Beck performance.

This two part video shows Former British Ambassador Craig Murray saying that the UK and the USA sent prisoners to Uzbek to be tortured.

I wonder how our staunchly anti-communist, anti-totalitarian wing nuts feel about this use of our former enemies.

I wonder why it is necessary to torture people into signing confessions and then killing them. Why not just forge the confession and kill them “humanely”?

For those who think President’s Obama’s efforts to get things through the Congress is just a walk in the park, remember this story next time you are tempted to complain about lack of progress.

I have made statements before about how Lyndon Johnson would never have tolerated such obstructionism.  I then think back to how campaign finance laws have been changed over the years.  The control that the Democratic Party has over its Senators and Representatives is much less now than it was in Johnson’s years.  That is why even a 60 vote majority is not enough to give Reid the power to stop such shenanigans.

I would hate to think that American style Democracy cannot work without such dictatorial powers wielded by a few of our leaders.

The proof must come from continued pressure from the electorate in making calls to members of Congress demanding action.  Whining about President Obama’s failures just won’t cut it anymore.

Even to me, my call to stop whining about Obama sounds a little like the usual Right Wingnut’s complaint.  How can you complain about Bush condoning torture, when the terrorists are so inhumane?  My answer is that I have some say in what my President does, but other than sending an army to Afghanistan, I don’t have much control over what the terrorists do.

In this case, I have as much say in what Congress does as I do about what President Obama does.  So my call to focus our energy where it will do the most good is justified in this case as opposed to such supposed calls in the case of torture.

I know that most of the readers of this blog wouldn’t have too much trouble believing that Fool’s News lies.

However, living out here in the hinterlands of Massachusetts, I have been asked by people I socialize with, “what  Fool’s News has ever lied about?”  Never believing that I would ever be asked such a question, I had not been saving up any evidence.  I have now decided that I had better collect the evidence.

Just don’t ask me to actually watch Fool’s News to gather the evidence. I am afraid my brain would start to rot.  I see plenty of evidence of such rot in people who do admit to watching it.
