Politics – Cindy Sheehan made a speech at a book signing in Palo Alto, claiming that she planted her uterus under a bush in Crawford, Texas. I'll refrain from making one of the hundreds of obvious jokes. (Audio recording of the claim is provided.)

Popular Videos – SNL does a hilarious send-up of the ever-expanding taco (*couch* gordita *cough*): "It's not a Taco Town taco until we roll it up in a blueberry pancake, dip it in batter, and deep-fry it until it's golden brown!"

TV Channel Bookmarks?

Television – Am I the only person that thinks that bookmarks would be a great feature for a TV (or satellite/cable box)? Instead of having only the “Previous Channel” button, you could have a “Bookmark” (”TV Mark”?) button plus a button for scrolling through your marked channels.

Wonderful Piece of Fiction in Progress

Art & Design – "Charlie Newbauer never subscribed to a newspaper. He found politics incomprehensible, current events dull. So when the war came, he was even more surprised than everybody else." This is the beginning of a beautifully written story being posted in parts at Jeff Harrell's blog, The Shape of Days - it's poetic but gripping.
