Keith Olbermann Gives Stephanopoulos Some Questions To Ask Of McCain
Stephanopoulos continues to annoy me. His questions never address real issues. Not just in the recent debate. His show seems to think that it should concern itself with meta-politics. Questions about the business of Politics. I can’t remember the last time I heard ask somebody a policy question.
Meet the Press asks a lot of tough questions but there aren’t simply meant to controversial. They push the person on the hot seat to tear apart the question, and answer the loaded question without stepping into potholes. The best performers on that show have been people who simply ignore the question. I can’t say I like Tim Russert but I can easily respect him.
Watch Olbermann flip the “debate” on its head.
P.s. I am getting tired of the debate moderators setting the agenda. Let the Pols talk and debate with other freely. Some time limits but that is about it.
Charlie interviews himself on Technology
This has been going around the internet for some time, I ignored it because it was hard to imagine Rose being funny. However, if you have ever watched the program, it becomes apparent (and annoying) that Rose loves to repeat prominent names or catchphrases. In this video, it is Google and Yahoo. But if you hear him talk about politics or the situation in Iraq, he would constantly say the line “America is the lone superpower” over and over again, like it were a mantra.
Anyways, that is a long way to say this video is funny and spot on with its silliness.
P.s. for all of his faults, I still love the Charlie Rose program.

Yes, I do love the world. I am going to save this for a rainy day.
The Daily Show: Welcome to McCain’s Monsters of Nostalgia Tour
McCain seems to be in love with himself as much as the media. In my opinion, this is a complete waste of time. He needs to be raising money and launching his grassroot networks while Obama & Clinton battle. I am glad he isn’t.

However, his first television ad was unquestionable winner. I doubt there will be any other ad from either side that will work as well as this one.

Behind the scenes of the old school HBO intro
This is a fascinating look into the old school way of creating elaborate title sequences. Now mind you, I love digital cinema. But I can’t resist falling in love with this problem-solving animation technique. A great example is that light thingee used to create the inside of the HBO bronze structure. Brilliant, it is engineering and filmmaking melded into one.

When Conan started out on Late Night, he was witty but not a great performer, awkward and shy but this simply isn’t the case anymore. He has grown to be a great performer.
