I’m not into politics.

Wait, that’s not true. I’m into politics just enough to get the jokes on topical comedy shows. Much to my shame, I probably know more about the American election, and their politicians, than I do about our recent election in June. I think it’s because in American elections, the gloves come off. They’re so confrontational and take it so personally. What do we do? Have civilized discussions of the issues.

For what it’s worth, I agree almost completely with Tim Bray’s post on the subject.

But the real reason for this post is to point to this short movie on what happened to Bush in the last 10 years. Fascinating. (You’ll need Quicktime)

[Edit: missed a word]

In my internet travels today, I came across The Sneeze: “Half zine. Half blog. Half not good with fractions.” Absolutely hilarious stuff (on the site, the tag line is only moderately silly, and only for five minutes).

Needless to say I’m subscribed. After subscribing in my aggregator of choice, I laughed out loud at almost every post. I especially like this one which is where I got the quote acting as the title of this post.

Google has done it again! Talk is all over the internet about the new Google Desktop Search. I’ve ran it on a couple of machines now and it’s pretty slick for a beta, even though there now seems to be some problems with it.

Looks like Imagine Cup is ramping up for another year. Good luck to all of those who participate. I had a blast in Brazil. [via Morris Sim]

I love quizzes like this. And this one is especially good, because look who recommended it.

Congratulations! You are TV’s Superman, faster than
a speeding bullet, more powerful than a
locomotive, able to do pretty much anything at
all except deal with a little kryptonite! It’s
amazing how many ways there are of working
kryptonite into the script, though. You’re
smug, but what the hell, you’re pretty much
all-powerful. On the other hand, it’s not like
you worked for those powers. You just happened
to land on a planet with a different color sun,
so all of a sudden you think you’re better than
me. You know what? Screw you!

Which of TV’s SuperFriends Are You?
