Video: Bill Maher: Liberty University is Not a Real University

Posted on May 20, 2012 by admin

I’ve heard that graduates of such places as Liberty University, Oral Roberts and Messiah College, et al, have a hard time getting jobs in the private sector, mainly, it’s been said, because they’re just not that bright. However, they can always count on some kind of employment in uber-Christian think tanks, businesses owned by like-minded zealots, or on the staffs of Republican politicians, so there’s that.

Posted on May 20, 2012 by admin

This video is unique for two reasons: Duke introduces his longtime writing and arranging partner Billy Strayhorn, and it has a great stand-up bass solo by Ernie Shepard.

Another genius, Oscar Peterson, does his take on Ellington’s classic composition:

Video: The ‘Super-Rich Are Not Job Creators’ — the TED Talk Video You Weren’t Supposed to See

Posted on May 19, 2012 by admin

“Nick Hanauer, self-described ‘super-rich’ entrepreneur, gave a pretty compelling TED [Technology, Entertainment, Design] Talk about how the middle class —-not the super-rich -— are the real job creators. But TED, which has released over 100 different political videos in the past, thought this one was too partisan and chose not to release it. We didn’t notice any flaming partisanship in it. We normally love TED, and were surprised they didn’t think this talk was TEDworthy.

“Under pressure from the Internets, TED finally relented and released the video. Watch it and decide for yourself if it’s really all that controversial to say that the ‘super-rich are not job creators.’ Then share it like crazy.”
