PBS has put many of its Frontline shows online for free! Let’s hope this isn’t a temporary situation, and is the start of a trend. Click here unless you’re on a dialup connection!

Holiday
I’m taking a break from my bloggin’ holiday to play DJ again — hey, it’s how I used to make my living, such as it was. Here’s Green Day’s “Holiday” (not to be confused with the Kinks’ song) from their superb “American Idiot.”
[audio:http://www.dograt.com/Sounds/Wordpress/NOV06/Holiday.mp3]That CD should have been enough to defeat George Bush in the ’04 election. I give Stephen Colbert credit for finishing what Green Day started, winning back Congress from the GOP, and setting this ship we call the USA on a different course. The old one-two punch of anger and humor!
Jeopardized

My friend Sam is a fan of the gameshow Jeopardy. I thought he would appreciate all-time champ Ken Jennings’ appearance on The Colbert Report, from way back in September. This is my way of tempting Sam away from his brand-new Panasonic 50-inch HDTV plasma panel, to watch tiny, lo-res Net video!
Tonight’s Colbert

Tonight’s Colbert is a re-run, with the Dean Kamen interview that was featured here. The pass-off from The Daily Show was great, so let’s watch that.
Tek and Porpy
There’s no need for me to post the latest Stephen Colbert’s Tek Jansen Alpha Squad 7 cartoon — now with Porpy, Tek’s ZANY pal! Click here to go to Comedy Central’s Tek Jansen page.
Post-Victory Colbert

Here’s today’s obligatory sampler from The Colbert Report. After a very amusing exchange with Jon Stewart during the pass-off from The Daily Show, Colbert talks, and sings, with a previous guest — John Hall from the 70’s band Orleans, now a Congressman-elect. The complete show is available at Comedy Central.
Edit: If you happened to see the John Hall segment, you noticed an audio sync problem. So I’ve replaced it with The Word segment, which is funnier anyway. Some great pantomine acting by Colbert.
