Better Know a District
Eleanor Holmes Norton on the Colbert Show last night
(Eleanor Holmes Norton rules)
From DCist.com:
Some of us feel certain that Norton was trying to play along with the gag and was simply edited in an unflattering manner — others are making the case that she didn't quite grasp the satire Colbert was going for. However you want to see it, the Norton vs. Colbert showdown was one for the ages. The question of whether Stephen Colbert is "plain vanilla" or "french vanilla" will keep us up at night for weeks.

Be an Expert on Anything
Be an Expert on Anything : by Stephen Colbert
DON'T BE AFRAID TO MAKE THINGS UP. Never fear being exposed as a fraud. Experts make things up all the time. They’re qualified to.
DON'T LIMIT YOURSELF TO CURRENT KNOWLEDGE. If you worry too much about being up-to-date, you miss out on vast territories of obsolete knowledge just waiting to be reclaimed. Think of leech-craft and all the lonely experts in the use of the little creatures, which are now experiencing a renaissance in health care.

Fox News is ridiculous!
Fox News Edits a Democrat to Make Him Look Worse
*Update*: So after watching The Colbert Report last night, it looks like other shows like Good Morning America and The Today Show basically did the same thing....so yeah, in this instance, all news media is ridiculous.

White House transcript scrubs
Bush Heckled - Transcript Inadvertantly Funny
THE PRESIDENT:] We’ll work together, and as we do so, you must understand I understand that racism still lingers in America. (Applause.) It’s a lot easier to change a law than to change a human heart. And I understand that many African Americans distrust my political party.
AUDIENCE: Yes! (Applause.)
(yeah read the wonkette story to get the context)

Top 11 Chappelle Show Skits
(from John)
Cracked. com Top 11 Chappelle Show Skits of All Time -- with YouTube videos of each of course
My personal #1:
I also love Black George Bush:
HIGHLIGHTS: [To the U.N.] “If you have a problem with that, you know what you should do? You should sanction me. Sanction me with your army. Oh, wait a minute, you don’t have an army. I guess that means you need to shut the fuck up.”
and Black Klan Leader:
CATCHPHRASES OVERUSED BY WHITE PEOPLE: Actually, we’re pretty certain no white people were stupid enough to use the phrases from this sketch.

Jonathan Chait: Is Bush Still Too Dumb to Be President?
Since Blacks went all high class, this is the new place my friends will be hitting up for Monday Night Football
Phone giants join forces to land Metro communications contract
If the proposal is successful, wireless phone and wireless Internet devices from the four companies — Sprint-Nextel, T-Mobile, Cingular and Verizon — and others would function at station platforms, tunnels and bus stops throughout the region, according to sources close to negotiations between the companies.

"The virtual car has four gears and each gear is controlled by a little seesaw in the urinal. The game starts when you start peeing on one of them. A monitor shows a dashboard with current speed and RPM and you can hear the engine sound. The virtual car keeps accelerating until you stop peeing. The only thing you have to do is switch gears at the right moment, and keep peeing of course."

Ann Coulter on Adam Carolla's Radio show
kinda amusing, listening to the audio of the clip is funny
Adam Carolla hangs up on Ann Coulter
On yesterday’s Adam Carolla radio show, Ann Coulter called in to the show an hour and a half late, then told the host "I am really tight on time."Carolla responded, "All right, well get lost" and then hung up on her mid-sentence.

Farecast
From Jo:
cool idea, though the website currently is in beta and only shows data from boston and seattle
Airfares made easy:
You squeeze into your seat in the airliner, buckle up and then, against your best judgment, you start asking your seat mates what they paid for their airfare.
That's what Oren Etzioni did on a flight in 2002 and he discovered that, of course, others paid less for their tickets. Even worse, said Mr. Etzioni, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Washington, "they bought later than I did."
Mr. Etzioni, the brains behind such early Internet companies as MetaCrawler, a search engine, and Netbot, an online comparison shopping service, decided this was a situation computers could address. All he would need is a mountain of data to mine for information about seat supply and demand and an algorithm to predict how the airlines' algorithms were going to price those seats.
A brief student project proved that, indeed, computers could be far more reliable than a Magic 8-Ball. So Mr. Etzioni helped to create Farecast, an airfare search engine that also predicts how much the price of an airline ticket will rise or fall over the coming days (www.farecast.com).
...
Farecast could become a great tool for consumers because it uses much the same techniques that airline computers have used to extract the maximum amount of money from the flying public. It is the latest Web site to harness cheap computing power to hazard predictions on all sorts of everyday things and make the data available to consumers.
