1. Squirrel melts. What a scream.
2. Is this video really from 1964 or is it a fake made today? If it really comes from 1964, I'm stunned at their prediction of the internet.
3. 45% of Daily Kos readers would rather have Ahmadinejad as US President than Bush. These are the "netroots" that have a growing influence on the Democrat Party. 40 years ago you would have had to go to the fringe far-left parties to get such a poll result; today you find it in mainstream Democrats. When the next Democrat President is elected, some of these people will be prowling the West Wing of the White House.
4. This conservative says we're in Iraq permanently. I don't hear Republicans talking much about this. Sounds like they've adopted a Cold War strategy of long-term containment of the enemy instead of actually fighting a war seriously and destroying the enemy.
6. Advice for those who would blog. It's about sports blogging, but much of the advice could apply to all bloggers.

Yes, good point. And that's the same exact strategy that the US chose to deal with Communism after the end of WWII. Its all that altruism will allow. And it presents the same false alternative we have seen time and again: Leftist defeatism vs. Rightist altruistic Nation Building (with some pro-self-interest rhetoric thrown in). Of course, a genuine egoistic approach to war is considered "extremist" and ignored.

The 1964 video is probably real. They had one with the same mom and son saying "in the year 1999!" or something cheezy like that over at Paleo-future.
