Real Life Super-Hero (sort of)

What do Brits do when they find their car has been clamped for illegal parking? Why, they pray for the swift action of Angle Grinder Man! (I gather a clamp over there is like when they put a "boot" on the tire of a car over here, meaning it cannot be moved.)

If only we had someone like that in this country, except he should go after crooked towing services! (Thanks to David Rutman for the tip.)

Political Shocker

Senator John Edwards announced his candidacy for president on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart. (The shocker was not that he's running but that he announced it there.) Here's a link to an online video clip which unfortunately cuts off in the middle of Stephen Colbert's very funny commentary that followed the announcement. (RealPlayer required, I think.)
