Perhaps you missed this during NBC’s coverage of the Olympics. Michael Phelps displays his sportsmanship after winning by 00:00.01:

The writers at the Daily Show must have a massive database of video clips and their textual annotations to be able to parse them all to find gems like this.  Watch Karl Rove as he heaps praise upon Sarah Palin for her governing experience in the fine metropolis of Wasilla, Alaska.  This after, oh wait, Karl Rove trashed Virginia governor Tim Kaine for only running the town of Richmond, Virginia.  Other flip-flops are featured in the clip.

Surely all politicians are adept at saying what’s right for the moment, but the Republicans are making history (re-writing it?) doing so in this 2008 Presidential election.

Great clip of CNN’s Campbell Brown trying to get a single straight answer about Sarah Palin‘s executive experience. It quickly becomes obvious that McCain aide Tucker Bounds has no response, and instead resorts to continually regurgitating party talking points.

The Republicans have clearly decimated their own best argument against “lack of experience.”

…arguing a call? Well, check out Angel Valodia Matos of Cuba and his reaction to being disqualified from his Tae Kwon Do match at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He is, quite simply, an animal, and should be banned from the sport for life.

It’s official. Asians think we all look the same too.

Hilarious video of BBC reporter Steve Parry being mistaken for Olympic legend Michael Phelps in Tiananmen Square, Beijing.
“Steve Parry from Great Britain. Steve Parry from Great Britain.”

Don’t know who has the time to research, collect and arrange these clips, but the end result is hilarious. You’re about to get Barack Rolled.

As we get ready for China to host the Olympic Games, check out these Chinese Acrobatics perform amazing feats of balance, strength and coordination on the Russian Bar.

If you haven’t seen Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog yet, you can watch it here in its entirety (Acts I-III).  Neil Patrick Harris stars as an aspiring super-villain trying to gain membership into the Evil League of Evil.  But see, there’s this cute girl who lives in the same apartment as Dr. Horrible, and he can’t decide whether he wants her or total world domination.

I know I’d be at least 15% more productive with this:

Who said it, George Bush or Batman? The answers will surprise you. Great idea from Secret Pants, a Philadelphia-based sketch comedy group.

Randy Pausch, the professor of “The Last Lecture” fame, passed away overnight.  In case you haven’t seen it on GMA, Oprah, or other news outlets, here it is.
