If only all my action figures were like this.

Pro-life or Anti-panda?

2:12 pm — 

You have the right to choose, and so should this panda.

What’s Cheney looking at?

6:19 pm — 

There has been a lot of speculation concerning this image of Vice President Dick Cheney. Some bloggers argue that a naked woman can be seen in the reflection of his sunglasses, while others argue it’s simply the handle of a fly fishing rod. What do you think? Personally, I think it’s a kangaroo wearing boxing gloves.

I choose you, Barack Obama!

11:08 pm — 

What does Barack Obama have in common with Pickachu? Well, more than you may think.

Having fun with a full grown man.

10:51 pm — 

Consider this a follow-up to a column I wrote about ace reporter Chris Hansen and his show “To Catch a Predator.”

Obama-Clinton sex scandal?

3:00 am — 

In public, they may appear as rivals, but don’t let the media fool you. Behind closed doors, senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton share more than a lust for the presidency.

I hope this clip helped to alleviate some of the pains brought upon by campaign fatigue. And for those who disdain crude humor…sorry.

U of I student puts one over on Sun-Times

10:34 pm — 

Katie Hamilton, a U of I student who’s majoring in public policy is now the face of one of the great newspaper battles of recent memory. She’s been interning at the Chicago Tribune and before that she did press work for the Illinois Student Senate. Bravo!

Full disclosure: I’m a Cardinals fan so I’m not as invested in the Cubs as most people in this area are but even I think selling Wrigley is a bad idea.

Drudge does it again

8:44 pm — 

The Wisconsin primary was just called for Sen. Barack Obama. But one thing I noticed made me chuckle. Observe.

Drudge1


The very next refresh brought not a correction to the typo in the headline but what really matters, the exit poll breakdowns.

Drudge2

 

Stay tuned.

Democracy: It’s as easy as 1,2,3

7:40 pm — 

  In order to illustrate the discrepancies between Jean Piaget’s four stages of cognitive development, my Educational Psychology TA showed my classmates and I a video of a second grade class learning simple addition and subtraction. However, while watching the video, it wasn’t Jean Piaget I was thinking of. The video reminded me of democracy in its simplest form, and how, despite all of the education we may receive, nothing can save us from the inner child within all of us.

  I planned on posting two videos. Unfortunately, however, the embedded code for the Jean Piaget video was “disabled by request,” so I can only post a clip of the British Parliament’s House of Commons during one of their weekly “Questions for the Prime Minister” sessions. Please, please, I strongly advise that you click on this link to the Jean Piaget video before viewing the Parliament video.  If you do, the parallels between the two clips may be surprising.

Another reason why specialists aren’t actually special

3:21 pm — 

Hah, this clip reminds me of chickens running around with their heads cut off (with the exception of the video game expert).
