Obama's Berlin Speech Streaming Live
http://www.demconwatchblog.com/2008/07/obamas-berlin-speech-...In case you can't get to a TV to watch Obama's Berlin Speech today you can watch online. Obama '08 CSPAN3 CNN MSNBC The speech is scheduled to start at 1 Eastern. And in case you're wondering what John McCain is doing. He's eating lunch at a German Restaurant. Pretty funny considering yesterday he was in Bethlehem, PA while Obama was in Israel. The McCain campaign is also airing radio ads today in 3 US towns called Berlin. Do they actually think this makes them look good? I think it's pretty pathetic.

What I Wanna Be When I Grow Up: Part I
http://zachcoulter.wordpress.com/2008/07/24/what-i-wanna-be-...A scientist! Like Darwin, only funnier. Or a bodyguard. Like Kevin Costner. Stay with me… I totally cried (a little bit) the first time I watched the interweb sensation, Christian the Lion. Of course, Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” gets me every time. So, having that particular tune playing behind the inspiring video really upped the ante from a “creating an emotional wreck” point of view. If you haven’t already, go watch it, let’s see how you do… So here’s my hypothesis: Lion Reunion + Bodyguard Soundtrack = Tears of Joy. Further testing will of course be necessary, so you know what that means. I need more lions, and I need more hippies. Some hippies could be lost in the experimental process, but that’s a price I’m willing to pay in the name of science. Someday the formula for creating tears of joy will be mine, and I will put all of the pharmaceutical companies out of business. Instead of Prozac and the rest, everyone will carry around a vial of “Dr. Zach’s Handy-Dandy Tears of Joy Tonic” and when they are stressed out over a math test, or crabby parents, or a lost love they will pop the top, take a slug, and within moments be reduced to a puddle of jubilant tears and snot. My first patient will be none other than Whitney Houston. Because “Dr. Zach’s” will not only bankrupt Eli Lilly, it will also eliminate the need for crack dealers. When I grow up, I wanna save the world, one troubled soul at a time. Patent pending.

Mad Money
http://citylivingblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/mad-money.htmlJim Cramer with MSNBC's Mad Money had some good news to share about his thoughts on the housing market (and the price of gas!). Click here for the full segment. Click here to hear (or read) what he had to say on his own show. The portion about the housing market is the third letter he answers in the clip. According to Jim, “I was the first guy that said torch your house for the insurance money. I am now telling you that between now and the next six months you have to buy a house.”

News Day
http://www.wastedfood.com/2008/07/24/extra-extra-2/Across all media, yesterday was a big day for food waste news. First, CBS’ The Early Show had a segment on food waste, echoing an earlier one on The Today Show. Then (MS)NBC ran an AP story on how Americans waste produce. The story had some useful tips on how to avoid losses amongst your fruits and vegetables. Even more helpful, though, is this Grist piece on storing veggies. Apparently, ABC didn’t get the memo that it was food waste news day. Heck, even USA Today got in on the act–OK, that one was from Tuesday–with an article on colleges abandoning the cafeteria tray. Finally, The Washington Post’s Food & Dining section had a neat little feature on reusing leftover rice. The article reminded me of my friends at Egg in a Box and ensured that I’ll never look at a box of hardened rice the same way. Lots to read. I’m curious: Which piece did you most enjoy?

Meanwhile, Back At the Cheese Case…
http://bloggingolbermann.com/2008/07/meanwhile-back-at-the-c...Tie: This one. I think. The colors look all funny out there in LA. Segue tune: Brenda Lee - Teach Me Tonight Worst Person: Brian Kilmeade of Fixed Noise for claiming that convoy attacks in Iraq are down to the same level as in the US. It’s just that all those rockets slamming into trucks are under the news radar, so we don’t hear about them. Blogging Tip Of the Day: It helps to click “Post” when the recap is finished. I blame the surge aliens. In a dairy aisle somewhere in Pennsylvania, presumptive Republican nominee John McCain explains why his statements to Katie Couric - y’know, the ones left on the editing room floor - were indeed factual. “A surge” (as opposed to THE Surge) is “made up of a number of components” which can be placed in any order. I think. Tell you the truth, I watched that clip a couple of times and I swear the man was talking in circles. Concentric circles. Keith asks Chris “Adderall” Hayes if McCain has hurt his cause with that interesting display of logic, and if the party is worried that the wheels are falling off the Straight Talk Express. Mr. Hayes says that it all depends on how well the media can explain what many people see as minutiae and well, the polls are still close so maybe the GOP isn’t ready to jump off that bridge quite yet. Our Darling Rachel thinks that the campaign is doing a disservice to their candidate, what with the lack of message discipline and all. Speaking of the McCain campaign, they seem to have taken exception to Senator Obama’s message in the guest book at the Yad Vashem. Reacting to the phrase “never again,” a McCain aide said, “Doesn’t that strike you as inconsistent?” He was referring to a prior statement of Obama’s about keeping troops in Iraq. If the wheels aren’t coming off yet, the lug nuts are mighty loose. That noted fan of cooked food, Chuckie T, does some analysis on the new NBC/WSJ poll. Nationally, Obama is up by 6% unless you add in third party candidates Bob Barr and Ralph Nader. Then Obama is up by 13%, but the Keith Number becomes something ridiculous like 39. Let’s hear it for the protest vote! Obama is also “in the mainstream” 60% to 45%. While McCain is seen as a safer choice, Obama seems to have more solid support. In other news, armed chimpanzee on the lam! [insert Colbert Report graphic here] Robotic dinosaur terrorizes children! Exploding apartments! A flaming crotch! It’s pandemonium! Finally, in tonight’s edition of “Keith’s LA Celebrity Buddies On Parade,” the charming and delightful Harry Shearer joins Mr. Olbermann. Since I am simply not equipped to give you the kind of summary of Mr. Shearer that Stef would, I shall merely direct you to the video.
