After seeing Obama’s speech last night, I gotta say, I was blown away. That’s the first time I think I’ve ever watched a speech longer than 10 minutes without getting bored. Or seen a politician that speaks such truth.

I loved it. But I think Pat Buchanan loved it a little more.

Ever wonder who writes those facts underneath the Snapple cap? I do. And I’ve also heard that not all of them are true. But then again, I don’t know if that’s true either. And now I’m confused.

One thing’s for sure, though — coming up with those facts isn’t as easy as I thought…

Here’s the latest single from awesome rockers Cold War Kids. It’s from their upcoming Loyalty to Loyalty, coming out next month.

I’m a big fan. I saw these guys up in San Francisco this past weekend, and they really put on a great show. Click here to watch their performance of this song at Outside Lands last friday.

You gotta love Fox News. If not for spewing out conservative propaganda, then for their Gladiator-like approach to field reporting.

Here’s a good clip. Let’s take a nerdy, socially-inept Fox News Reporter and put him in the middle of an angry anti-Republican mob. Don’t worry, they’ll check on him later…

This guy from Britain keeps being mistaken for Michael Phelps, and is bombarded by a paparazzi-like crowd of Bejingites. They’re on him like white on rice.

It’s like a Michael Phelps Tour Bus just let out…

I’m not sure if this is funny, cool, or something out of a Steven King novel.

This dude gets a call. And the Network is there.

This is a pretty sweet mash-up of MGMT’s “Time to Pretend” against the quick-mouthed MC Talib Kweli . I believe it’s thrown together by DJ Topcat. Or was it DJ BJ?

I always get those two guys mixed up.

Per the suggestion of “Mike” (a dude I met yesterday with a CamelBak hooked up to a box-o-wine), I stopped by “Hippie Hill” on my way to the festival. And as he promised, the ganja was as plentiful as the drum circles and unwashed body parts. After haggling with a Jamaican woman named “Momma”, I procured said goods, and bounded down to Day 2 of this epic festival.

The doors opened early today – 1PM – which, keeping with the festival’s mantra, meant more musicians crammed on more stages. 26 bands to be exact. The schedule was tight. But today I had a plan. I already had my beer bracelet from yesterday, and I knew the festival grounds, so I was ready for the increased quantity of bands. I was prepped…

It’s always weird when someone outstays their welcome. And it’s even weirder when that someone is a die-hard fan of a local weatherman.

But when it’s caught on camera, it’s delightful.

Nice pin.
