Today’s fun video: Debate in 120 seconds

If you missed Wednesday's presidential debate (and let's face it, some of us had other things to do last night) you can get enough of it to join in today's water cooler and coffee break discussions with a video from BuzzFeed.

Sorry, but the embed coding has problems, and won't load for all browsers. It seems to be working fine on the BuzzFeed site, however, If you don't see it below, it can be found here.

 

Today’s fun video: Newt meets Snooki

 

A long way from the presidential campaign trail. Last night on the Tonight show:

Leno: I never thought I'd say this. Newt meet Snooki. Snooki, Newt.

Snooki: Whatup?

Some things have to be true, because if you made them up, no one would believe them.

Today’s fun video: How many continents are there?

 

You may think you know. But the answer may not be as simple as the one you got in 7th Grade Geography.

Jon Stewart continues to deliver some of the best political commentary anywhere, marking Osama bin Laden's death with well-directed satire and just the right amount of celebration.

Today’s fun video: OR Lege not taking itself too seriously

The Oregon House of Representatives managed to slip the words to a song into floor speeches, then cut and splice them together for a video that's going viral on YouTube.

Which brings up an interesting question: If the Washington Legislature were to do this, what song should they pick? Feel free to suggest one by clicking on the comment link.

Today’s fun video: The case for un-friending


Wednesday was National Unfriend Day (who knew?). And Spin Control feels bad about missing it.

In an effort to make up for this holiday observance faux pas, we present the holiday song which may convey some broadly held feelings about Facebook friends…Not our Facebook friends, of course, but some people’s Facebook friends.

Today’s fun video: SNL spoofs Emmanuel


Saturday Night Live opened this weekend with a shot at Rahm Emmanuel’s departure from the Obama Administration last week

Today’s fun video: No seal of approval


For presidential speeches, one would think there’d be scrupulous attention to the small things…like securing the presidential seal on the podium.

But apparently, one would not always be correct in that assumption.

Today’s fun video: Passionate candidate, take 2

Remember last week’s video of the passionate candidate? Wonder what happened to him? Wonder if he popped a blood vessel and keeled over?

Here’s Phil Davison on Good Morning America where he seems like a calm, fairly reasonable guy. And a good sport about his inadvertent 15 minutes of fame.


Today’s fun video: Not how you learned it in civics class…

…but all in all, a much more accurate look at “How a bill becomes law.

This music video comes courtesy of reader and colleague Reiko Tateya in Yokohama, Japan, who brought to our attention a fun Web site that creates a song a day. Today’s song is about Sarah Palin calling it quits.


Thanks Reiko!

And for those who slept th rough the Sunday morning taking head shows (or were in church), they spent lots of time on Palin, too. Here’s the digest of talking heads compiled by TalkingPointsMemo.
