Watch very closely at the end of this clip. The man being threatened by the Joker is none other than Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy. Apparently, he’s a huge Batman fan. After having a knife to his throat, he’s probably loves the caped crusader even more.

Sen. Hillary Clinton in her speech in front of a New York audience Tuesday night.

“This has been a long campaign and I will be making no decisions tonight.”

And her supporters went wild!

This marks the fist time a politician has ever been cheered for being indecisive.

If only all my action figures were like this.

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

Being that the school year is coming to an end, I’m sure all of you feel like sleep deprived zombies, whose only salvation is a can of Monster. Well, I want to help, and being that I can’t do your homework for you, I have the next best thing: a movie! Hopefully this clip can help reassure you that you’re not alone in this dizzying world of facebook profiles, homework, and beer.

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

In my Foundations of American Education class, the author of the critically acclaimed memoir, Holler If You Hear Me: The Education of a Teacher and His Students, Greg Michie, came to speak to my classmates and I about his experiences as a teacher in the predominately Mexican-American South Side of Chicago. While speaking, he recommended we watch two videos.

The first is titled “A Girl Like Me,” and it focuses on how African American girls grapple with the concept of beauty as defined by American society. The second clip, which is titled “Nice White Lady,” is much more humorous. It is a Mad TV spoof of the stereotypical film genre, where an outside teacher comes to an inner-city school and saves his or her students from a life of poverty and crime.

I think both clips, in spite of their stylistic differences, make an equally profound point concerning how minorities and urban society are perceived in American society. There is something fundamentally wrong with how we treat and represent our often marginalized minority population, and hopefully these two clips help to spell that out for you.

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

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.

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.
