Horrid snobby

  • FEMALE REPORTER: Why are you all so horrid snobby?
  • PAUL: We're not horrid snobby.
  • FEMALE REPORTER: Yes you are.
  • JOHN: That's your version.
  • GEORGE: It's only in your mind, we are.
  • JOHN: Because we're not flattering you.
  • PAUL: You know... You expect, sort of, nice answers to ALL the questions. But if the questions aren't nice questions, they don't have to have nice answers. And if we don't give nice answers, it doesn't mean we're snobby. It just means we're natural.

“ Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which has the potential to turn a life around.”

Dan Meth helped us out with an animated music video for the Christmas Can-Can. The song is definitely cheesy, but it also definitely gets stuck in your head! Thanks Dan!

The fact that Republicans and Democrats differ on whether health-care reform should include a public option is no surprise. That they differ on setting a date for exiting Afghanistan, sure. On Sarah Palin, of course. But on physics? And biology? That the growing list of issues where there is a partisan divide now includes the accuracy of scientific findings may be lamentable for a democracy (if we can’t agree on facts, how can we agree on policy?), but it’s a gold mine for research on how personality and other psychological factors influence political ideology.

The red-blue split on mammograms is particularly striking. In a recent poll, the Pew Research Center asked 1,002 American adults about a preventive-health task force’s conclusion that most women can safely begin mammograms at age 50, not 40, and have one every two years, not annually. (Large studies have found that earlier mammograms save almost no lives; since the radiation can cause cancer, it therefore makes sense to minimize them.) Among Republicans, 15 percent agreed with that. Among Democrats? Twice as many.

Directed by Alexander Payne comes one of the many short films in Paris, Je T’aime. One of the more inspiring and beautiful pieces that brings the film together.

Fave line: “Of course at my age, I didn’t expect anything like that.”

folkinz: i can’t wait to cozy up with tonight’s top chef finale & a voltaggio sandwich. I genuinely would love a sandwich MADE by the Voltaggio brothers. Any kind…even a ham and cheese would do.
