Re: TPMtv: McCain's Absolute Disgrace
The Bush administration spun the idea of Social Security being in trouble based on manipulated data provided by the Heritage foundation. You may have heard such assertions as Social Security declining as of 2017 and resultant bankruptcy by 2042. For that projection, the Heritage Foundation worked with some interesting requisite constants in regard to the SS programs revenue. One: that government bonds, in which Social Security is invested, would perform consistently as poorly as they ever have historically. Two: that the average American lifespan would extend to an a ripe 165 years. Three: that the retirement age would remain 65. Bush AND Cheney actually disparaged the trustworthiness of government bonds as an investment, which is, technically, treason. For more info, on this, and many other interesting information, check out Al Franken's two most recent books.

Re: Bill O'Reilly Freaks out!
It's not about the issues. It's about the ratings. He's just an actor. A really, really douche-ey actor.

Re: Elephant Paints Self Portrait
I don't think anything about keeping an elephant is cheap. And most animals can't even see 2-D images. It's still pretty cool.

Re: Across the Universe: Let It Be
Not to be repetative, but as far as musicals go, this one kicked ass.

Re: Jim Carrey: I Am The Walrus
I actually enjoyed his performance in Cable guy. But he's a one trick pony, like Tom Green. "HEY! LOOK AT ME!"

Re: Chimp Outsmarts Tube
Why do I think of Noam Chompsky? Something like inherited knowledge, or at least physiologically-dependant intelligence. The monkey seemed already to KNOW what to do. All kinds of philosophical questions. Are all men created equal?
