Unfortunately the main steam media doesn’t feel it is pertinent enough to write any stories about this, but on Friday the next step in the Bush impeachment hearings will begin. Representative Dennis Kucinich will be making a presentation to the House Judicial Committee this Friday regarding the case for impeachment against President Bush. The video below is Kucinich explaining it a little more in depth.

On a related political note, Ron Paul’s plane had mechanical difficulties and almost crashed according to this article.

I guess this is in honor of Anheuser-Busch being bought out by a foreign company. What makes a beer American? If it is owned by an American company or because it is brewed in America. Check all ten videos out here.

I got this in an e-mail today, I found it very interesting. It is called Buffalo Theory.

In an episode of “Cheers,” Cliff Clavin the trivia-spouting, quirky, irksome mama’s boy mailman is seated at the bar describing the buffalo theory to his buddy, Norm Peterson, the beer loving heavyweight bar stool sitting perpetual patron.

Cliff expounds his “Buffalo Theory” to Norm.

“Well, you see, Norm, it’s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”

CNET is running a preview on the new Facebook design that is being tested on certain networks. Lately I have been sitting in an office for eight hours a day so I spend what some people may call an obscene amount of time on Facebook.

I’m not sure what I think about the new design. Some good things, some bad things. Mainly less clutter, which I like. The applications were getting a bit out of control and now they have been scaled back a lot. Regardless of what I think, try it out for yourself by going here.

Update: There is also an AP Article if you want to know more.

If you haven’t seen The Dark Knight yet, what are you waiting for? It is the best movie I have seen in a long time.

There have been reports coming in all weekend about how it first had to have midnight screenings extended all the way up until 6am to meet demand. Now it has broken the all time opening weekend box office record. If that isn’t enough to make you go see it, there have been reports that IMAX tickets are hitting Ebay and selling for as much as $300. Reviews have been so good, it is currently the #1 movie of all time on IMDB.

If you are going to see the film and want to get yourself into the experience I suggest reading into some of this background material.

Gotham Tonight - These videos are supplemental material that should be watched before you see the movie. They explain what has happened in between the first and second films.
Christopher Nolan Interview - Get inside the head of the director. I would predict there will be some golden statues coming this guys way in the future.
Dark Knight Marketing - One of the biggest parts of the film was the incredible marketing campaign, this link explains what lengths they went to in order to make sure everyone knew about the film.
History of the Joker - If you weren’t aware of all of the stories about where the Joker came from, you’ll find this one interesting.

Finally, for those of you who have already seen the film there are a few things you need to check out to get the total Batman experience. First this comment thread of initial reactions to the film will help you find words to express how good it was. Second, this poll also does the same thing. Finally, this lengthy post deconstructs some of the major themes of the film.

Update: I started thinking, who would be the villain(s) in the third film. After reading the Wikipedia entry on all the possibilities, I gave up thinking about it.

Improv Everywhere has done a ton of awesome pranks, and this one is no different. They get a subway car full of twins to sit opposite each other. Hilarity ensues.
