wow - great link post - thanks!
I saw that woman on the news this morning. Before she started singing I thought I was going to see a Monty Python sketch or something. She has an amazing voice, though.
My uncle sent me the Susan Boyle clip last night - she is amazing!
What fun links! Thanks!
I love that Pixar vs Dreamworks cartoon. I saw it awhile back and thought "So True!"
Jon Stewart recently had Jehan Sadat on his show, and he mentioned Begin, and my first thought was, "Begin, Reagan, Palestine, terror on the airline." Cool video, showing all the references.
That is a great clip from Britain's Got Talent. Good lesson to all of us on not judging a book by its cover.
Darth Vader tweeting. I think I've heard everything, now. :)
Heather, great post. I'll be using the Passover song at next year's Seder. The Sound of Music will never be the same. :)
