The Daily Dish, by Andrew Sullivan, is one of the most popular blogs on the Internet, winning Best Blog in the 2008 Weblog Awards. Anything it links to will get a considerable amount of exposure. Today one of his substitute bloggers linked to the Craig Ferguson rant on VideoSift in a post . Not only did he mention the Sift by name, but he quoted EDD's video description.

Congratulations to EDD, and to everyone involved with this excellent site!

... more inside ...
So today I went to Georgia Tech to start my transfer ball rolling. After that, I came home and had a nice relaxing day with the gf.
A friend of mine was turning 21, so we went to Taco Mac in Decatur, a 25 minute drive from downtown. Luckily I was chosen to be DD for the night. Around 2, we get back to Atlanta. My gf decided it was time to go home, and Marta closes about 1, so I am charged to drive another 30minutes*2 to take her to her car. gdgdgd, i was already irritated. Everyone had gone back to my house to finish the night.
Back in downtown, I was about a mile from my house, getting off of the interstate, when I saw an unfortunate soul in the middle of the intersection of Moreland and Memorial with an old chrysler van bleeding oil on the road and with the airbags deployed. I pulled over to see if I could help.
Enter Mel:
Mel, a 42 year old, overweight, bearded, tattooed musician, riding about a 5 on the sketchy scale, had "hit a pothole." His car was crippled; he was piss ass fuck shit damn titty "drunk." I helped him push his car to the nearby gas station then offered him a ride home. As it turned out, he lived about 30 minutes north of Atlanta.
For clarity, I was in constant correspondence with my girlfriend, though in retrospect, bad idea.
Our ride North consisted of his constant thanks and pondering repayment (he only had a benjamin, and I only had a million dollar bill that the nice evangelists had given me in the park). I really wasn't concerned about it. He also could not half of what we spoke about, and about 3 miles from his house, decided he needed a Natty, which he pulled from his mysterious bag (which i am extremely suspect of).
I dropped him off at HIS MOTHER'S house, drew a map of where his car was, and returned home again.
On top of this, 75-S was blocked on all lanes. I don't know why, but I had to find my way home halfway on back roads.
I come home to my belligerent room mate on the couch watching SG-1, who then proceeds to tell me that Wes, the recently 21, had had quite the eventful night.
Wes' night consisted of getting drunk at Taco Mac, then coming back to my house. Once here, he drank more. Next, he found gasoline on the back porch (wtf, why?) and decided it would be fun to play with. He then found my shirt, drying on the porch, and decided to combine them. He also decided that my sandwich supplies (ham, turkey, cheese, lettuce, and where the hell is the mayo!?) did not have enough shit/crap/poop/literal feces in them; so he did what any decent American would do, and shat in the tupperware, then distributed the remains about my neighbor's and my back yard (my back yard belonging to the people downstairs).
Also, the mop was in too few pieces, so Wes made sure that was promptly fixed as well.

I am shrugging it off now, and will soon have help coping with the tremendous toll this night has had on me.
If you've gotten this far, I commend you, and apologize for wasting your time.

Anybody try out Redlasso.com yet? I highly recommend it. It basically searches Television.

Yes, you can search Television, for example, I typed in a random name like "Rob Corddry" and it sent me directly to the portion of a program from Comedy Central that just happens to be about a movie that he's currently in.

Intriguing, I'm still new to it, just got a pass today. It looks like it searches transcripts, You can click on words in the transcript and it takes you to that location in the video stream.

I typed in "Samantha Bee" and it sent me to last nights Daily Show. This is where it gets pretty fucking cool. There is a clip option, so now, as I'm watching this clip stream online, I am provided with a clipping tool and I can clip out this segment that I want clip.

Fuckin EH!



It's in Beta, but they already have all of FOX, NBC, Comedy Central, ESPN, CSPAN! I'll keep ya'll updated, go to redlasso.com and sign up. You may have to wait to gain entry.

So...flipping through the channels last night and I realize Leno and Letterman are on.

While watching Letterman, he makes a joke about the rat heart.

I change the channel. It is Leno... he makes the same joke about the rat heart.

What is going on here?

US talk show host David Letterman has reached a deal with striking writers that will allow his show to return with a full writing staff. The Writers Guild of America (WGA) said the agreement meant its members would be paid for work distributed online - a major sticking point in their dispute. Letterman said he was “happy to be going back to work” on 3 January after eight weeks off air. Many of his rivals also return next week - without their writing teams. The interim agreement between the Letterman’s Worldwide Pants production company and the WGA also allows the return of spin-off programme The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. “This is not a solution to the strike, which unfortunately continues to disrupt the lives of thousands,” said Letterman. “But I hope it will be seen as a step in the right direction.”

Letterman’s deal gives his show a distinct advantage over the likes of Conan O’Brien, Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel, who face the prospect of presenting an hour-long nightly television show without scribes to pen their monologues, sketches and other written material. Presenters such as Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will not even be allowed to write their own scripts, as they are members of the WGA. There is also a question over whether celebrity guests will be prepared to cross picket lines to appear on the shows. The strike, which began on 5 November, was called because of a dispute over the fees writers get paid when their work is released on DVD or the internet. I really hope this will be a beginning of the end of this strike, as it hurts mostly us, fans of all those shows…
