Colbert = Hero
Watch this video of Stephen Colbert cleverly exposing everything that is wrong with our political situation. This video isn't short, but it is worth every minute. Mr. Colbert daringly takes on every controversial issue while the president himself is only mere feet away. This is awesome.

Nora on the rise
I was just contacted by a reporter from the NY times. He is doing a piece on YouTube and specifically Nornna. He asked a slew of relevant questions. Apparently it will be coming out this next Sunday so keep an eye out for it. I knew she was going to be big, but I wouldn't have thought that the NY times would have caught on so quickly, props to them.

YouTube celebrity watch
For those of you who might not be familiar yet, YouTube is a pretty cool thing. People from everywhere can upload videos on to the net for free. Like other social software, you can make friends, add comments and even rate the videos you like. You can browse random ones based on ratings, content, tags, or number of times watched.
I ended up stumbling upon a videoblogger who is clearly on the rise to becoming the next internet celebrity. Her name is Nora but her username on YouTube is Nornna. Nornna is 24 years old and lives in Wisconsin and works in retail. She has a cat named Patty and she loves Eeyore (The Eeyore from Winnie the Poo). She powders her feet, wears Eyore pjs, watches TV and makes herself pb&j sandwiches for breakfast. She rides the bus to work and walks to choir practice. She videotapes nearly all of these things. Nornna has posted over 700 videos in her videoblog catalog. Some "haters" (as she calls them) make fun of her and say mean things. She sticks up for herself and tells them to shut it. Check her out, she is awesome. My favorites so far: "Eating a Cordog" and "Taco"

Thank you Harry Taylor!
On April 6th in Charlotte NC, President "Why I am currently embarrassed to be an American" Bush was taking questions and this guy, Harry Taylor made an unplanned statement, which many people can relate to. While watching the video I felt inspired and relieved that someone actually said that to his face - Especially the part about being ashamed of our leadership. I am also pleased that GW let him continue speaking instead of talking over him or cutting his statement short. Watch the video.
The only thing that worries me is that somewhere in those glistening eyes he was thinking the whole time, "this guy is gonna pay" because as we all know, when you speak out against little George, sometimes bad things happen.
