John Murtha says “get out of Iraq now”:http://www.house.gov/apps/list/press/pa12_murtha/pr051117iraq.html. C&L has “the video”:http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/11/17.html#a5913, which has a lot more powerful commentary in addition to the content of the statement. Personally, I’d like to see Dick Cheney tell Murtha (who spent 37 years of his career in the Marine Corps) to his face that he’s “losing his memory, or his backbone”:http://edition.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/11/17/cheney/.
So there’s this ad for Guinn– never mind. Check out this “ad for Sony TVs”:http://www.bravia-advert.com/, filmed last July in San Francisco. It consists of an awful lot of bouncy balls — about a “quarter of a million”:http://www.bravia-advert.com/commercial/index.htmlavailable, in fact — bouncing their way down a hilly street. It looks great and is much more soothing than “high-speed drives through the streets of Paris”:https://crookedtimber.org/2005/11/10/sacre-bleu/. There’s a sixty-second version for “high-“:http://www.bravia-advert.com/commercial/braviacommhigh.html or “low-“:http://www.bravia-advert.com/commercial/braviacommlow.html speed connections, and a three minute version, also for “high-“:http://www.bravia-advert.com/commercial/braviaextcommhigh.html or “low-“:http://www.bravia-advert.com/commercial/braviaextcommlow.html speed connections. You need Quicktime 7 for the high-speed versions.
