A FEW INTERESTING SITES TO LOOK AT

So if you don't know my personality by now then it's your loss, but I absolutely love humor. The past four years with Bush in office has certainly been "entertaining" for me, looking up some of his more "intellectual" speeches throughout his presidency. Most recently (for those who haven't heard) was his speech he gave to the troops this past week while on his trip to Isreal. If you haven't seen it and need a quick laugh, definately check it out :)

Another fun thing to check out if you have some time is:

www.crackle.com.

It should open up to a video of "Penn says". Check out his short video titled "Hilary Clinton is Scary" (should be in the scroll menu). Again, another quick laugh, but what makes it even more amusing (to me anyways) is that Penn is well known for his magic tricks and here he is trying his stab at political issues. What does that say about our country? More power to him.

Lastly, I was thinking about the class projects. And for those who have never been to this website before (it was very big in the last election), it might be something to consider. It's a pretty nice webpage with a lot of videos and other entertaining things going on.

www.Jibjab.com

My thought was that those who wanted to do a webpage for a project could put up a page, and those who wanted to do other types of projects could upload onto the page and it could be a wonderful melting pot of politcal stew with videos, blogs, etc. Just a thought.

Oh, and for those who have never seen this video (the reason why jibjab became so popular in the last election) here it is. It's quite amazing to say the least! enjoy

That's odd. I've never understood you to be a person who enjoyed humor. You are quite possibly one of the most humorless people I have ever met.

Also, Penn has always delved into areas outside of magic, as evidenced by the show Penn & Teller: Bullshit!.

Those jibjab guys did a video for Leno's first strike show, I think. It was kind of a pop culture year in review piece.
