Soviet Big Childrens’ Choir! Then - feared weapon of cold war times. Today - amusing clip on youtube. Now that’s progress, right? (Still sounds like the dog was VERY gone, though)
Russian choir was very weird even for the person who was raised there.
when i was a child (70s), we were able to recieve east-german tv. they included segments like that in their childrens programme. being a small boy, i didn’t know about politics involved - still i felt pity for the kids singing. that did not sound like fun even back then … yet, it’s a childhood memory nearly forgotten ;-)

Ordering take out?
I know I can change my player preference and it will save my selection but I’m curious as to why you would opt for such a grainy YouTube default which will be seen by all first time visitors; and quite possibly turn some away? Even the good old embedded Flash Player from a while back did way better than this feeble YouTube attempt at quality.
I miss crystal clear Joanne.
This is probably much less expensive for Rocketboom though.
Economics, my dear Watson: [(YouTube hits) - bandwidth = (partner revenue sharing?)], or some such mathematical formula, I’m guessing.
Hey! That reminds me, I’ve been meaning to hit that Rocketboom ‘Store’ link to get a couple new T shirts…exuse me, gotta go
Ah, the old crawl almost makes up for the fuzzy picture.
I believe Mr. Nader is credited with facilitating Mr. Bush’s first term, not his second. Though in truth, I think the Dems did a fine job of losing both races all on their own. It’s like a football team that drops two passes in the end zone and then whines because the other team got a bad call and kicked a field goal with no time left.
As for Mr. Nader’s grand pronouncement: Go ahead and run, you sanctimonious SOB. Like anyone even cares any more. You’ve become as sad and dependable a self-parody as Rudy Giuliani. I hope you and the 783 people who vote for you have a good time.
Then there’s the story of the old lady who comes up to the priest after church and says, “Father, did you really say the sun will destroy the earth in 8 million years?” “No,” says the priest, “I said 8 billion, not 8 million.” To which she replies, “Oh, thank God.”
8 billion!!! I better start backing up my hard drive.
…And cut back on investing in that retirement savings plan, too.
Leron, The local newspaper (www.registercitizen.com) of Nader’s hometown, Winsted CT, tells the names of two of those 783 people (personally, I’ll be voting for the Democrat nominee):

When he was running in 2000, Nader was invited by supporters in my town to a fundraising house party. His hosts had laid out a very nice spread of food and drink for the 100 or so people who crammed into their living room to hear the great man speak. Halfway through his remarks he stopped, picked up a can of Coke from the buffet table and ripped into his hosts for supporting large corporations. You’re hypocrites, he said, you talk a good game and then you give your money to these evil people. No one in the place dared say a word.
I happened to be out front when the car came to take him to his next event. It was a big old Buick. “Hey Ralph,” I said, “you just ripped those people a new one for buying Coke. How come you’re riding around in a GM car? Didn’t they make the Corvair?” He just stared at me for a second before climbing into the luxurious leather interior and rolling away in a cloud of hydrocarbon emissions.
That’s comical!
I always thought Ralphie was a Machiavellian candidate sponsored by the republicans or maybe even the libertarians.
You have an iPhone & aren’t you free nights & weekends?

You have a serious eye, my friend. Have you ever considered a career in the visual arts?

Speaking of eye, the iPhone doesn’t even come close….

Glad to oblige kam.

the first one is joane rules!!
the second is that the girl that you show at the end of the video was chilean, and was really funny to hear a chilean girl talking stupid things on rocketboom… of course as you realize she was not been polite hahaha
