This video was posted by conservative former radio talk show host and anti-Obama documentarian John Ziegler's website HowObamaGotElected. He's trying to convince the world that Obama was elected because everyone who voted for him was woefully misinformed. On his site, Ziegler wrote:

On Election day twelve Obama voters were interviewed extensively right after they voted to learn how the news media impacted their knowledge of what occurred during the campaign. These voters were chosen for their apparent intelligence/verbal abilities and willingness to express their opinions to a large audience. The rather shocking video below seeks to provide some insight into which information broke through the news media clutter and which did not.

But Nate Silver, the polling genius of FiveThirtyEight.com, wasn't having it. Silver agreed to a phone interview with Ziegler that didn't go so well. Here is an excerpt:

NS: Would you consider yourself well-informed
JZ: I’d consider myself extremely well-informed.

NS: Who are the two senators from South Dakota
JZ: Thune and, uh, Johnson.

NS: Very good. South Carolina?
JZ: Go fuck yourself. I'm done with this interview if you're going to ask me stupid questions like that. Obviously I know who Lindsay Graham is.

NS: Well, since you’re running a website calling people misinformed, I’d like to see if -- there are certain things you’ve said that I would consider misinformed.
JZ: Misinformed? You're a piece of work! You are never going to have the guts to post a representative transcript on your website! I thought you actually ran a legitimate website!

NS: Thank you, have a good day.
JZ: Go fuck yourself.

Go, Nate. The near-Asperger's superhero of the 2008 election used his super-brain to make Ziegler appear as hysterical as he really is.

Watch, listen, and love after the jump.

I know I've been a little out of the loop these past few days, with the internet issues and the site upgrades, but has anyone else seen the trailer for 2012? There is a whole subculture surrounding the year 2012, the last recorded day of the Mayan calendar. The year 2012 is supposed to be the year the world ends.

(I tried to find a movie poster, but apparently there was another movie by the same name, and I'm not sure which poster goes with which movie, so in the spirit of accuracy, I'll just leave it off the post.)

Watch the trailer after the jump.

Kathy Griffin, in what may be a first strike, interviews David Archuleta for myspaceTV. Archuleta turns eighteen next month. Maybe I should put up one of those countdown clocks . . . .

Jump to it.

James Kotecki, that super-witty and super-quick political commenter (I know, but I don't know what other word to use to describe his special brand of political journalism), has a special "Softball" version of his usual online show. In this three minute clip, Kotecki is out-thought, out-maneuvered, and out-hit at every turn by his own guest!

Watch as he gives Emma Thompson a run for her horror money.

I might be a little late to this party, but did you guys see Emma Thompson on David Letterman the other night? She followed that woman who was bitten by a fox while out for a jog and, when the fox wouldn't let go, she wrapped it up with her hoodie. While it was still attached to her arm. Yeah.

So, Emma recreates the scene during her entrance. Spontaneously. I haven't been that freaked out by Emma Thompson since her performance in Dead Again.

Watch the seizure after the jump.

Boy, these past two days have been rough posting days! Yesterday, it was the internet. Today, it's the upgrades to the site I've been making behind the scenes. They're taking a little longer than I expected, but they are completely worth it. Check out the new "Related Posts" feature at the bottom of each post's page. (Just click the post title link on any of the posts - for example, you can click "My Apologies" at the top of this post to be taken to this post's page.)There, you'll find links to posts and articles that are, well, related to the post you're on. That way you can find more of what you're looking for!

In the spirit of improvement, I am going to spend the rest of the afternoon installing another new and great feature. If all goes as planned, it'll be up by the end of the day, and I'll be back to the regular posting schedule bright and early.

Make sure to come back to check out all the new features!
