Can’t say that I have ever watched MSNBC.

Probably best I don’t.

The NRCC recently released the following video:

While the format may be effective, it could use a bit more substance in the explanation department.

Most people will not take the time to research all the House bills which apply to taxation and by offering no specifics this ad will no doubt appeal to those who are partisan in nature.

The news has virtually dried up in regards to Iraq (at least in the major media circles.)

This post at Milblogs offers a few of the reasons why:

Where are the reporters now? Is it blood and guts they want to see? Iraq is a brutal country. But perhaps we need to inform reporters and “News” stations that “its’ not about gore, its about progress and success. How come we don’t have embedded reporters here now in Iraq? Has anyone else noticed their absence? Where are the “Special Reports” on Iraq during prime time TV? Are our service members lives any less important now compared to when the embeds were here? Does the news agency think this is a less important time in Iraq or for that matter in Afghanistan? The actions of the news station says yes. Sex and gore sell, US service members winning, kids getting fed and democracy doesn’t.

What a clever idea for those who spend time at the beach over the summer:

Have you ever been to the beach and made patterns from all the different coloured stones and pebbles?

If so, we have a challenge for you! The V&A Museum in London has launched a project called ‘World Beach’, and they want everyone to get involved.

It’s easy to take part. Just go to the beach and make a piece of art using just the stones you find there (no shells or driftwood allowed!).

Then take some photos of it and send them to the V&A Museum’s website, with a few words about how and where you made it.

The V&A will then add your artwork to their online gallery and put a ‘pin’ on their world map showing where you made it.

Also, neat ideas for children’s crafts can be found at the home page of the link above.
