Elizabeth Warren interviewed by Jon Stewart (The Daily Show)

Caught this interview with Elizabeth Warren on The Daily show. Particularly liked the part about value:

Whenever we give tax breaks or spend tax money, we’re investing. Those investments reflect our values, or rather, they reflect the values of our legislators:

  • Tax breaks for the wealthy.
  • Tax increases on middle class.
  • Less support of college education.
  • Less investment in infrastructure

…The list goes on & on.

Part 2 is particularly good…

Dead Space 2 – Hardcore – Pulse Rifle Only

YouTuber moonable does an awesome job with this speed run through Deep Space 2 on hardcore mode, where he uses almost exclusively the pulse rifle and HARDLY EVER uses stasis. Very cool. Inspired me to get the game. During my first play through on casual, I was running scared. In my second play through on normal mode, the necromorphs are  the scared ones. Here’s one segment of moonable’s run (spoilers). He uses the plasma cutter a bit here (no pulse ammo?), but you see him later with the pulse rifle.

This guy is good, as you can tell from the video below…

Lisa Hannigan – I Don’t Know – Sung in Irish Pub

“I Don’t Know” is one of my favorite songs by Lisa Hannigan. I think this was the video that caught the interest of Stephen Colbert, which lead him to put her on his Colbert Report show. According the YouTube blurb, the video was recorded  at the Sugar Club pub on Leeson Street in Dublin on 27 November 2009. The poor trumpeter had to tone things down to save the ears of his band-mates, so there are some weak moments there, but even so, it’s a very appealing video—and the rest of the Sea Sew album is terrific as well.
