Politics: Health care: Al Franken shuts freedom-hating Joe Lieberman down!

  • This is one of those videos that gives us hot flashes. Joe Lieberman, currently looked at as an evil bastard by the left for his blatant about-face on the health-care bill, does not get any love from Sen. Al Franken, who’s totally in “Stuart Saves His Family” hero mode. John McCain has Joe’s back, but you know, this is almost as good as Joe Wilson’s “You Lie” comment for pure entertainment value. We’re gonna let this one stand.
    Update: TPM makes a really good point about the shutdown. source

Politics: In this video, an Irish politician hilariously drops the F-bomb

  • We’d like to trust our readership enough to watch a video like this and not get offended by the fact that Irish Green Party politician Paul Gogarty loudly and violently says the F-word. (Rhymes with “truck.”) So let’s just say that the video above should not be played in your office with speakers on at full blast, unless your office happens to be really into Irish politics. Then it’s OK.

Offbeat: Meet the ukulele-playing kid taking the Internet by storm

  • Who cares if the kid knows the words? He knows the chords to Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours,” and that’s really all that matters. Our hearts are warmed like nothing else.

According to the duo: “While the characters Bret and Jemaine will no longer be around, the real Bret and Jemaine will continue to exist.” Too bad. source

Offbeat: The “Handjob”: Infomercials learn the value of a really dirty joke

  • Well, that makes the ShamWow guy seem tame. It’s official. This innuendo-laden, on-the-edge-of-safe-for-work infomercial is currently our favorite infomercial ever. Dang, and we wanted to buy a Magic Bullet, too.

World: This Antarctica ice loss story has the loosest margin of error ever

  • 57 billion tons of ice have been lost on Antartica’s Eastern side since 2002, a new study says
  • 52 billion tons of ice – the margin of error for the eastern ice loss study, which is just a wee bit large and useless
  • 190 billion tons of ice – the estimated average loss of ice for the continent each year, mostly on the west side source

Offbeat: Cats for Gold: Melt your gold so a cat can melt your heart

We admit it, we’d totally love a feline in place of gold or a crappy scheme to bilk us out of our money. source

Offbeat: Autotune + cute kids + finger biting = Amazing.

  • It’s official. You can autotune anything. For some reason, what should be a silly little one-off video turns into something vaguely more epic when you add autotune to it. These kids know how to turn a finger-biting incident into a bedroom jam.
