Media Bytes

By Libby

It's Sunday and I'm cleaning out the saved links for the month so I have a fruit to nuts assortment of multimedia for your viewing pleasure.

Starting with the nuts, Blue Gal bravely goes where few dare to tread and discovers What Not to Wear at Your Daughter's Bat Mitzvah. That's Pam of Atlas Shrugs by the way and apparently that's what she really wore. Words. Fail.

Moving on, even Bill Kristol couldn't muster up much of a defense for Cheney's latest assault on the constitution.

Presumably done in response to the Obama video, more GOP man-love, I've Got a Crush on Fred Thompson's -- Politics. No homoerotic subtext here. Move along folks.

Mort Kondrake is bitching about left wing bloggers, but he cusses out Rush radio at the same time. It's the closest Mort's ever come to being fair and balanced. Twenty seconds you shouldn't miss.

Now I thought this one was a riot, but it didn't raise any reaction at Newshoggers so maybe it's just my odd sense of humor. Newt Gingrich is having a contest called something like the YouTube, Back to the Future, Goose that Laid the Golden Egg contest. When he got to the prize after a long pitch talking about geese and golden eggs, I was primed to hear about the golden egg award. I was wrong. I thought the real prize was hilarious. But judge for yourself.

If you're following Fred Thompson, I ran across this series of video of Fred speaking in England in front of a bunch of important businessmen. I thought he sucked. He kept looking at his script like a guy reading for a part. Or like Bush with better diction. He didn't give the impression of someone in command of the information.

Still reaching into the nut section, for Nancy Grace fans, a magnificent catch of a podcast gone awry. Her crew commits mutinity and she is not amused. I was.

Finally getting to the unexpected fruits of websurfing, you can find out what was number one on the Billboard chart on day you were born or for any date. It's a really easy to use interactive list and more importantly, it goes way back to people even much older than me. My song was "Cry" by Johnnie Ray & the Four Lads. Never heard of them.
