Fun footage of a dancing traffic cop in Manila which has been synced to the song “Billie Jean” by Michael Jackson. This guy has some moves! I have to wonder, though, if there is any music playing anywhere, or if he has on an iPod or an mp3 player.

The Pitbull versus the Kitten 4
An adorable video showing the loving, yet very playful, relationship between a pitbull-boxer mix and an adorable, tiny, sweet kitten. The choice of music is perfect, too. Guns N’ Roses version of “Live and Let Die.”
George Carlin | Who Really Controls America 24
George Carlin was way ahead of his time. He saw what so many people did not see when it came to politics and government, religion, as well as society as a whole. In his unique way, George Carlin would turn the “wtf’s” in life into comedy. Although as we laugh at what he says, many of us realize that the facts behind the jokes are truly no laughing matter.

As Republicans settle on a nominee – although not yet official, Romney pretty much has the Republican Candidacy in a bag – let’s take a look at some of the unforgettable moments from this unforgettable primary. Some may consider many of Romney’s statements more along the lines of infamous.
Would You Push the Button? 23
Imagine you are walking, or riding your bike, down a rather quiet street in the city when you come upon a post with a red button on it. Hanging above the button-post is a sign that says, “PUSH TO ADD DRAMA.”
Would you push it?

TX Tornadoes Toss Semi-Trucks Like Toys | Footage and Photos 4
Incredible footage of semi-trailer trucks literally sucked up in the air and tossed around as though they are match-box toys. Footage from the tornadoes which struck Dallas-Ft Worth on Tuesday. Heavy damage, yet no casualties. Very lucky.
If you have not seen this footage, it is amazing. I am from tornado alley, and my jaw still drops when I watch this. Found a nice HD upload from the CNN coverage, so you can really see nature at work here.
Frame of Mind 10
Very creative and well-made video which includes special effects with a “magic frame.” Short and sweet, and will put a smile of amazement on your face. The precision of the special effects really does make this frame appear to be magical.

On Wednesday, March 21st, Arizona state Democratic lawmakers organized a news conference to discuss Debbie Lesko’s HB 2625 which allows any employer to opt out of providing contraception to their employees based upon their own religious beliefs. There has been a large outcry over this House Bill not only in Arizona but throughout the entire United States as the War on Women grows more heated every day.
Israel to Iran “We Love You” 11
Video posted in the website, indiegogo, which is located in Tel Aviv. A peace-seeking group who do not wish to go to war with Iran. Here are the words of Ronny Edry spoken in the video.
The message is very simple. All wars need to stop. And here in the United States, we need to bring our troops home. We do not need to send our troops to Iran next. Most citizens in all countries simply want peace.
Will The Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up 27
What an absolutely incredible video! An enormous variety of clips primarily of Mitt Romney, with a guest appearance by President Obama, all cut and edited to headline Mitt rapping away. Featuring an Eminem background rap beat from the song “The Real Slim Shady“. If you do not like rap, or even totally disdain rap, no worries here. It is just a quiet, steady beat to provide the momentum of spoken speech.
President Obama’s March Madness NCAA Full Bracket Picks 6
Today, President Obama revealed his picks for this year’s bracket for the NCAA basketball tournament. His Final Four are too “safe” for my taste, although the rest of his picks are not bad. Obama’s bracket is shown further down this posting. For his Final Four, Obama chose:

The user can send them to friends, use one as an iChat icon, add them to their Address Book, or organize and edit them in iPhoto.

EPIC Time-Lapse Footage of Earth from the International Space Station 21
Hands down the most epic time-lapse footage of circling the earth as recorded on the International Space Station you will see. Includes some magnificent Aurora Australis sequences, and personally, I love seeing the lightning flashes in the clouds.
A Motorcycle-Riding Dog Named, well… Dog! 10
This dog, whose name is “Dog,” is incredibly amazing! Literally rides behind his master, Gary Miller, on his motorcycle, proudly sporting his goggles and hangs on to Gary “like a backpack.” I know none of my dogs would every be able to accomplish anything like this, plus I would be terrified of them jumping off and hurting themself. It is very easy to see that Gary adores Dog and would never risk any injury to his best friend, and feels that Dog does just fine riding shotgun.
Fish That Walk 9
The mudskipper. A fish that has fins which have evolved so that they are able to use them as arms in order to travel across land. Plus some other incredible features unique to themselves. Talk about an masterpiece in evolution – only the strongest survive. And they wanted to survive. I am familiar with the mudskipper – probably saw them originally on Mutual of Omaha’s “Wild Kingdom”… but I do not recall having seen them up close and personal as shown in this short video from National Geographic. I love how their dorsal fin flares up making them look prehistoric.
Herman Cain’s Brain on Goldfish 10
Herman Cain may be gone from the presidential race, but he’s not willing to be forgotten. In a week where the usual campaign craziness is at new heights, the slow death of a goldfish in a seemingly pointless promotional video is, well, not that weird. Comparatively, that is….
Wisconsin SB 507 Lists Single Parents as a Factor to Child Abuse and Neglect 17
Senator Grothman
That’s right. You read the title correctly. Senate Bill 507, introduced by Senator Grothman (R-West Bend) on February 23, 2012, would require the Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board to emphasize that non-marital parenthood is a contributing factor to child abuse and neglect. Single parents make up a third of all Wisconsin parents. Once again, I am livid! What the hell is going on in our country? We seem to be going backwards in time as people’s rights start disappearing.
Tornadoes Tear Through the Midwest | Footage and Photos 17
I am sure you have all heard by now that a powerful severe storm system moved across the United States on Friday, with a slew of tornadoes from Alabama to Indiana contributing to at least five deaths and threatening even more destruction as the day wore on.
The Nightman cometh -- snowboarding in the dark in an LED suit 10
Night snowboarding usually equates to grueling pre-dawn slogs up backcountry routes or short, icy turns under stadium-like lights at small resorts. Nowness.com has put a new spin on those traditional forms of night riding. In this stunning piece of film, a unique LED suit is employed to turn the subject into a powder-slashing apparition.
Nowness describes itself as "the digital leader in luxury storytelling," explaining that it attempts to convey inspiring stories of contemporary culture and lifestyle across many genres.

Hilarious Anti-Planned Parenthood Video (Warning: Penis-shaped eclairs) 17
The American Life League released an absurd (and unintentionally hilarious) propaganda video meant to smear Planned Parenthood. In this video, Planned Parenthood is actually called “these perverts”; is accused of selling pornography to children under the name of science; and the gateway drug is masturbation. The speaker, Michael Hitchborn, actually tries to correlate how a drug dealers goal is to make drug addicts, Planned Parenthood’s goal is to make sex addicts.
Siku the Polar Bear Cub | LiveCam and International Polar Bear Day 7
89 days old
When Siku the polar bear cub was introduced to the public late last year, he quickly became an Internet sensation, with his own Web and Facebook pages. But with fame often comes responsibility, and officials at Denmark’s Scandinavian Wildlife Park said Siku would have an important burden to shoulder.
“Siku is going to be an ambassador for polar bears, for global warming,” park director Frank Vigh-Larsen said in December.
Creepy Cockroach Courtship 10
Ewwwww…. I am still making a “scrunchy” face and shuddering over watching this three-minute documentary from National Geographic on cockroaches and their mating ritual. However, it was something I did not know and most definitely had not witnessed up close and personal – so I found it actually rather fascinating.
If you can stomach three minutes of watching thousands of these radiation-resistant creatures scurrying around, it is worth watching. Very interesting and educational. But this is still the only creature I will purposely stomp on when I see them.
A Journey to the The Great Pacific Garbage Patch 12
Photo credit: unknown
This video is a very well produced “mockumentary” which follows the journey of a plastic bag from a California city to the ocean with it’s final destination of the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch.” At the bottom of this post are some photos, but I will warn you, some of them are disturbing.
HPD Pull a Shotgun on Crowd of Houston Free Thinkers 11

The party was located in the middle of a residential area at place called The Compound in Third Ward. Over 200 people were present and three bands were playing.
