Reality

From the Onion, a Congressman gets his own reality show. For reasons I can’t fathom, the embedded videos from the Onion get clipped around the edges, but there’s not much I can do about it.

Ned Lamont at Drinking Liberally

As I’ve mentioned (repeatedly, actually) Ned was a guest at our Drinking Liberally meeting last night. Here’s video of his appearance. Due to youtube’s time limits, I’ve cut the video into two, splitting it at a rather arbitrary point. I got home late last night, so I really didn’t have the time for anything too […]
