I’m feeling lazy tonight, so instead of lovingly transferring a Colbert Report video from the FiOS DVR, I’ll embed it from Comedy Central. This means, of course, it will probably no longer be available to you viewers who are visiting here in the future.

Zanthue is Coming!
Little did we realize when we gave Eric an Xbox 360, that he would be recruited by The Baron to help save the world from the extraterrestrial terrorism of ZANTHUE!

Hillary Clinton As a ‘Peanuts’ Character
This seems to be the gist of what Hillary Clinton is telling Barack Obama.
Movie Money In A Flash
Here’s another good link from tastewar. The New York Times has put together an interactive Adobe Flash player with 20 years of movie revenue. This is box office money, and doesn’t include video rentals and sales, yet I think the influence of video on the movie industry is apparent. Get a feeling for how it works, spend some time with it, and see what conclusions you come to. Here’s the link.
Garfield-less
Previously on DogRat, I featured the Garfield parody Lasagna Cat. Now I would like to draw your attention to a site that was pointed out by my friend tastewar, Garfield Minus Garfield.
As the English like to say, “brilliant.”
Walter Cronkite and The Beatles
A few weeks ago I posted a picture of two sisters, backstage with The Beatles at the Ed Sullivan Show. Who at CBS, I asked, would have had enough clout to arrange such a meeting? I received several e-mail requests for the answer. Here are the girls, Nancy and Kathy Cronkite, with their father.
Walter Cronkite takes credit for having shown a news clip about The Beatles that caught the attention of Ed Sullivan. And the rest is, of course, history. I extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to CBS News for providing this video.
