If I hear about it, it's usually through the web, a video, or something like that, and if it's important, I'll generally dig for more info. I guess I just didn't think to do that this time.
    It's all good. Everything gets better with practice. I used to get more information from Wikipedia than I do now. Now if I take any information from Wikipedia, I almost always check the citation. You got information from Phil, and I would never have know all this stuff about SOPA had you not done that. I also checked out your YouTube video and it was pretty good.

    I do strive for perfecting my debate game, and thus I criticize myself all the time (internally) and I anticipate others criticisms, that's why I don't depend on links from far left websites either.

    The stuff I called in for has been really high stakes (the pre-NATO strike on Libya, and the GOP House intransigence on the payroll tax cut), which is how I got started with calling those 4 places. Now it's something I'm used to.

    0:54 - 1:14 is pretty good. To quote the girl in the crowd, "that's awesome."

    Just another day in The City.



    In this video from the NYC subway, a singer named Jessica Latshaw, bearing a small uke, finds herself sitting across from a gentleman with a fine pair of bongos. The two begin an impromptu jam session, emceed by a random gregarious stranger and captured for posterity by a subway rider with a camphone. The performance is just fine, and it's clear from the footage that the rest of the car is having a fine time.

    In theory, it's possible that the whole thing is a fix, "buzz marketing" from Latshaw and co, and if so, well, it's an extraordinarily nonobnoxious example of the form.

    Go the Fuck to Sleep. Perhaps the funniest thing I've seen recently. Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson.
