This clip has been making the rounds on the Internet, so odds are you’ve seen it. If you haven’t, you should watch it, preferably in HD at Vimeo. At the very least, click the title of this post to see it full size. :)

The premise is simple: Matthew Harding took a trip to 42 countries to film short clips of him doing a silly dance, sometimes alone, sometimes with lots of local folks, often in beautiful locations. The result is this 4:28 video.

I’m proud to share the fact that this guy is from Connecticut. They don’t call us nutmeggers for nothing.

Update: The song is (called Praan) is available at Amazon’s MP3 store. The web site for the project is, appropriately, wherethehellismatt.com, where there are more videos and maps.

Donald Rumsfeld made a speech to the American Legion a few days ago that compared those who disagree with the White House policy on the war with the Chamberlains of pre-WWII England. This is a typical tactic used by the White House to change the subject on any debate that shows how bad their policies are. Simply attack the messenger instead of the message.

It's actually a small part of Rumsfeld's speech, about two-thirds of the way down in the transcript. The bullet list of "when will you stop beating your wife" rhetorical questions are actually more appalling than the Chamberlain references, but Olbermann, a fan of getting history right, and not a fan of this administrations handling of the war, completely blasted Rumsfeld in a rare editorial on his news show. You can see the video at Crooks and Liars or simply watch it below.

It's worth watching until the end. The Murrow quote he finishes up with is timeless.
