(a laugh, that is)
These two things provided just what I needed at the end of a week that's been far too serious.
First, this extraordinary abridged version of Bush's state of the union addres. I laughed so hard tears ran down my cheeks. (via Alex)
Second, Mark Pilgrim's comments on a Mac OS X article:
Mac OS X Hints: An early review of iMovie 3. "It is now possible for a Mac user with a fast machine to create beautiful Video CDs in faster than real time." Amazing! I�ve always wanted to work faster than real time.

That abridged version of Bush's address is one of the funniest political satires I've heard since the explosion of songs and stand-up comedy skits about Clinton's extracurricular activities. :-)
