Today's Mighty Oak


Alright, let’s see what we have today.  First up, we now know what the tubes of the Internet look like:

If you need some good sports news after the Lance Armstrong scandal, check out this touching story from The Good Men Project.

The Good Men Project also has a cool time-lapse video from the LA Times of the trip of the shuttle Endeavor.

Remember how the republicans have been shouting from the rooftops about voter fraud?  And remember how those who fight against something the most are normally committing it themselves?  Yeah, republicans are committing more voter fraud.

Romney is also possibly getting into the illegal by asking employers to tell their employees how to vote.

Here’s the Lego version of the space jump:

The big Seattle newspaper is giving away free political advertising, but only to one party.  They are stating it is to prove how effective their advertising is, so they can gain more business in the future.  Kind of strange, and throwing objectivity out the window.  Now, to be fair, they can throw it out the window, but then they can’t go back and claim to not have a bias.  Anyway, a good portion of their writers have signed on to a letter, saying the policy affects their journalistic integrity.

Ben Stein went on Fox news and told them that to fix the economy we have to tax the wealthy.  Also, I had no idea he didn’t believe in evolution.  Guess he isn’t as smart as I thought.

This has been floating around, a great response (from a fake CEO) about maxi pad commercials:

Marriage equality is on the ballot in four states (and I have friends in each one of those states), so here’s a reminder: instead of you know, helping the poor, as Jesus said, the Knights of Columbus spent over 15 million dollars fighting equality.  Guess you didn’t really need to help the sick either:

And lastly about politics, a play written by Dan Savage about Obamacare (via Twitter).

That’s it for now, but I’ll be back soon with more!



Another update for everyone, hope you enjoy:

Scientist have found a spiral star.  Not a solar system or galaxy, but a star.  Really cool, check it out.

This is really cool, watch to learn how much The Internet weighs:

Want to find out how long your relationship has been in terms of the unit of measure of a Kardashian (72 days)?  Click here.  By the way, congratulations to my parents who have been married over 180 Kardashians!

Death to Pennies:

NPR has an awesome article about NaNoWriMo, by the author of The Night Circus.  Which, by the way, is an amazing books, and one of my new favorites, you really should read it!

Wes Anderson’s new movie looks really awesome, and it includes Edward Norton!  Check it out:

Death Star PR approves of this letter.  And so do I!  Which first of all, if you’re going to be a go and talk about Star Wars, you better know your stuff.

And finally, I think it will take longer for us to see these, considering that now we’ll need power running to our windows, but it would be awesome to see above sinks (for when washing dishes) as long as it includes links to online video:

Thanks again for reading, have a great one!
