Keith Olbermann 1988: Fashion-critical Sportscaster
Wow, this is the same year as the Sarah Palin sportscaster clip-

The contrast is amazing. Olbermann is good at what he does. And now their careers have both taken them into the political arena.

Interesting post viewer_999. I definitely think you should be able to get off of probation without posting videos (applauded comments only), but I don't agree that probationary accounts should be able to downvote. But do you know that even once you're off probation, you can't downvote? You actually have to get to Bronze star for that. Anyway, I think it's reasonable to only allow more established members to go negative.

Saturn V rocket launch - ultra slow motion
Keep in mind how insanely large this rocket is, as well:

Speeding ticket, that's nothing. Watch what happens next!
Pretty impressive climbing. Also, I thought the cop was very professional.

Yeah that first track is great. What would you call that type of musical genre? Middle Eastern? Black Hawk Down had some similar music which was fantastic.

McCain & Obama have an awkward moment at the Debate
Downvoted because they did shake hands at the conclusion of the debate, this clip was McCain introducing Cindy to Obama

See the video at the bottom of http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/222684.php

John McCain: "That One"
I thought it was tacky but not necessarily racist or dehumanizing. But the GOP is actually turning this into a rally cry.

If it was just a throwaway comment that's one thing, but as a campaign slogan? It's their funeral.

Beautiful. If anyone denies that the Apollo program was the greatest achievement of humanity I will fight you.

The sentimental and emotional side of me thinks it's tragic that humans haven't left low Earth orbit in 36 years. The rational side of me knows that robotics are hugely more effective per dollar. The poetic side of me knows that humanity's future is beyond this pale blue dot.

Muse - Hysteria
I liked the video. Muse will be an auto-upvote from me, regardless.

Chihuahua vs Doberman
I hope the filmer had good reason to trust that Doberman. For many dogs that truly is a dangerous situation.

Real Life Russian Braveheart - Two Enormous Gangs Brawl
So weird. I'm surprised that people dumb enough to engage in street brawls still maintain some degree of honor about it. I can't believe that someone doesn't get all stabby or shooty. I mean, if it's just large scale MMA fighting then that's dumb but it's not Sarah Palin dumb.

SNL: Palin/Biden Debate sketch
Not bad, not bad. They kind of had to stretch with Biden, but the Palin stuff was well done.

Biden Chokes Up During Debate
>> ^artician:
I find his speech particularly heart-rending as he reads it from his little print out on his podium.


I can't tell if you're trolling, but the candidates were not allowed any prepared material. Neither of them. The organizers put blank paper and writing utensils on the lecterns and that's it.

How NOT to break a world record!
Um... Yeah... that's pretty amazingly stupid.

I can not remotely fathom breaking a coconut with my bare hands. Is it even possible? Or is this some kind of cruel setup?
