The funniest SNL skit I’ve seen in recent years, LOL
But also so sad that it’s not so different from the real Palin…

UC Berkeley Homecoming - Events for Everyone
Get your Cal gears on. Cal Homecoming is this weekend.
Doe Library tour should be pretty cool. “Secrets of the Sleeping Brain: Overnight Improvements in Memory and Emotion” and “The Science Behind the Stadium” sounds interesting as well.
monkey’s butt is red from min oh on Vimeo.
I’m not sure what to make of this. “Monkey’s Butt is Red” is a traditional play song taught to Korean kids to, I guess to teach the relationships between various objects. The similarity ends at the “plane is fast”. It usually ends with “…, plane is high, and baekdu mountain is high” — no, it does not go into “orgasm is distant” :-/
Psychologist Jonathan Haidt studies the five moral values that form the basis of our political choices, whether we’re left, right or center. In this eye-opening talk, he pinpoints the moral values that liberals and conservatives tend to honor most.
I highly recommend both liberals and conservatives to watch this video and reflect on themselves.
Op-Ed Columnist - Blizzard of Lies - Op-Ed - NYTimes.com
I can’t think of any precedent, at least in America, for the blizzard of lies since the Republican convention. The Bush campaign’s lies in 2000 were artful — you needed some grasp of arithmetic to realize that you were being conned. This year, however, the McCain campaign keeps making assertions that anyone with an Internet connection can disprove in a minute, and repeating these assertions over and over again.
…
And now the team that hopes to form the next administration is running a campaign that makes Bush-Cheney 2000 look like something out of a civics class. What does that say about how that team would run the country?
What it says, I’d argue, is that the Obama campaign is wrong to suggest that a McCain-Palin administration would just be a continuation of Bush-Cheney. If the way John McCain and Sarah Palin are campaigning is any indication, it would be much, much worse.
TED | TEDBlog: How to survive a nuclear attack: Dr. Irwin Redlener on TED.com
What to do when 10 kiloton nuclear bomb (e.g. briefcase bomb) went off in the middle of financial district in NYC. It’s not all hopeless! Watch this video and learn how to increase your chance of survival ^^;; Interesting bits starts from 17:25 minute mark. Here are the main takeaways:
- If you’re a rich investment banker working 1/2-mi radius from the blast zone (downtown) there’s 90% chance that you will die from the initial blast; 2-mi radius (mid-uptown), 50%; 8-mi (harlem), 10-20%.
- You have 10-20 minutes to get out of the way before lethal radiation falls straight down from the mushroom cloud. Go out about 1 mile away from the blast, perpendicular to the wind or upwind.
- If you cannot get out in time, find a shelter in a basement, or higher than 10th floor.
- Keep your mouth, nose, skin covered as much as possible.
- Get out of town ASAP!
You laugh now, but these instructions might just save your asses sometime!
Check out this awesomely imaginative set. It takes the usual touristy play photos to the next level
Jon Stewart sums it up pretty well! LOL
It’s about the size of seven ping-pong tables - and all yours starting at $279,000.
A San Francisco design and development firm has begun marketing 98 tiny condominiums - ranging from 250 to 350 square feet - at the Cubix Yerba Buena building in SoMa.
Maybe worth it in Tokyo, Seoul, or NYC, but not in SF when you can get a condo as four times as large as that in better part of Oakland for that price.
