MS. Gov. Haley Barbour refuses to say Sarah Palin’s qualified to be president, pauses and stumbles when questioned about it.
Today on MSNBC, Chris Matthews repeatedly asked Barbour if he thought Palin was qualified to be president. In response, Barbour would stop, stumble, and muster out weak statements like, “Constitutionally, she sure is” or “I don’t know anything that disqualifies her from being president”
“I was a Republican in 1968, Chris. I’m not unaccustomed to being in the minority.”

Tina Fey's 10 Favorite 30 Rock Moments
Ep. 208, “Secrets and Lies”
TRACY: I spent two days making that movie from my home and what did I get? A million dollars, a yellow Bentley and nothing.
“I like every time we get to make up some predicament that Tracy’s character was in. We showed an animated clip that Yvonne, on staff, was able to make—a fake, animated clip done on the super cheap, and the movie was supposedly done with Charles Barkley. The one thing I like is that Tracy has a way—he doesn’t say ‘a million dollars.’ He says, ‘a millah-dallahs,’ which always makes me laugh. Tracy may, at the time, have had a lime green Jaguar. That may have been an inspiration for the yellow Bentley.” -Tina Fey

Pro-shot, normalized audio, tight pants. They’re only going to get more fierce than this! Practice makes perfect.

Cool Story, Bird of the Day: A flock of some 300,000 starlings form an ominous, shape-shifting cloud in an unspecified plot of sky above Denmark.
[via.]
“…the twin sickly trees that in the fall drew swarms of migrating starlings, appearing en masse more like bees than birds as they swarmed in and weighed down the elms’ or buckeyes’ limbs and filled the mind with sound before rising again in a great mass to spread and contract like a great flexing hand against the downtown sky.”
—David Foster Wallace, from “The Soul is Not a Smithy”

Atlas Sound & Panda Bear
“Walkabout”There are a few fan-made videos for this song, but this clip by Fernando Nogari is the clear winner with its lovely muted colors, understated stop-motion effects, abundant jewels, and beautiful actress. It’s not the most obvious treatment for the song, but it fits comfortably with the tone of the music.
“Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them.”

Can you imagine Thomas Jefferson if he’d been on the internet?
