3 x YouTube. That is a looong time to, as MTV put it, look "the president in the eye and let loose a characteristically blistering barrage of invective, which was met with a stunned silence by the crowd and reportedly made the most powerful man in the free world squirm in his seat on the dais." Whatever they say about Stephen Colbert in the future, they will never say he was a coward.
In Canadian comedic news... Harper's budget sucks but we're stuck with it and the Mercer Report is off season. Agh!!
update: Colbert's speech was removed from YouTube (thanks Mark) but it's still available here at Viral Video and the transcript is here at Common Dreams.
I was just at a conference of UC school's graduate students who mess with tech stuff in L.A. [an aside here, it's good sport to poke fun at powerpoint but until you've spent a day watching people read you their bullet points which are also projected in big letters behind them, well you haven't lived]
Two guy (Michael Dale and Abram Stern (who both avoided powerpoint)) were presenting their web site metavid (http://metavid.ucsc.edu/). it's an amazing project where they are returning Cspan footage to the public domain where it belongs. They are also very aware of the art potential and are happy for artists to use the footage. It requires firefox and the right video codec but it's way way worth it.
Be one of the ones to go there before everyone else!
