From: Beethoven’s 5th, Visualized:

After watching this awesome, retro visualization of Beethoven’s 5th, I suspect we’ll be seeing a lot more of these very soon. So cool.

Great find was fun to watch and always fun to listen.

Healtcare in American - From a real journalist

The Cost Conundrum, by Atul Gawande might be one of the best reads on the Health Care System in America I have read. I came across this article from The 3 key parts of news stories you usually don’t get, and he was right on the money; This is how news should be done.

The Cost Conundrum should be read by both sides of the currently healtcare debait as it asks and delivers real questions and even real answers.

re: Obama and habeas corpus — then and now

Obama and habeas corpus — then and now by: Glenn Greenwald

To recap: Obama files a brief saying he agrees in full with the Bush/Cheney position. He’s arguing that the President has the power to abduct, transport and imprison people in Bagram indefinitely with no charges of any kind. He’s telling courts that they have no authority to “second-guess” his decisions when it comes to war powers. But this is all totally different than what Bush did, and anyone who says otherwise is a reckless, ill-motivated hysteric who just wants to sell books and get on TV.

This is one of the most disturbing things to come out of DC in while. I expected it from Bush, but not from Obama. (My fault) Complete and total bullshit!!!!
