Today's Video Link

Just consider this. One day back in the sixties, someone was put in charge of producing a TV commercial that would urge people with Arthritis not to squander their money on quack "cures." That's a noble endeavor, making something like that and if you'd been in that position, you might have gone looking for some celebrities to appear in this commercial. And who better to carry that message to America than...the Three Stooges!?

Message to C-Span

Attention, C-Span: It's lovely that you've redesigned your website but your video clips still won't play on most browsers. They're mostly RTSP links and most browsers are specifically designed to exclude them, plus they're also in RealPlayer format, which is becoming increasingly obsolete with all the FLV video clips available on YouTube, Google Video and any other site that offers a lot of video. I can download your clips because of a special piece of software I have but I'll bet most people can't download 'em and can't watch them online. If your goal is to send everyone elsewhere, you're doing a fine job.
