Over the past couple of days, the situation has continued to deteriorate at the Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant in Japan. The situation remains extremely fluid. With that said, few media outlets have actually explained what occurred in the power plant to cause the disaster. Japan’s NHK offers a thoughtful, and clear, explanation.
These are some of the best videos I’ve seen over the past day
1) Jimmy Wong (Response to Alexandra Wallace): This Middlebury alum performs a mocking video of Alexandra Wallace. Really catchy. Well done Jimmy.
2) “Bless You” (Remake of “Fuck You” by Cee Lo Green): Because everyone asked for a Christian version of the explicit “Fuck You,” these guys delievered.
3) Stupid Internet: Now this poor boy never knew that 15 years after he sang (and danced) his little heart out to Mariah Carey’s “Emotions,” YouTube would be invented and his life would be ruined.
4) Steve Kardynal (“Born ThiS Way”): Apparently, this guy is famous. He sure freaked out most of NYC by singing Lady Gaga’s latest hit in drag. Was it not cold when he filmed it?
5) Wesleyan Students (“I Have Sex”): If you haven’t heard, the Republicans in the House want to cut all funding for Planned Parenthood. The students at Wesleyan don’t think that’s a good idea and this video shows how many of them have used that organization’s resources.
When I saw this, I wanted to cry. I actually like some of Rascal Flatts music. Talk about selling out. Maybe this is the worst song ever.

A UK book entitled “What Every Man Thinks About Apart From Sex” by comedian Sheridan Simove is climbing the book charts despite being completely blank.
After selling out of its first run, the book settled at number 744 on Amazon’s best seller charts. That’s good enough to beat perrenial favorites like Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code (2,910) and JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2,406).
The book has taken off in the UK, where young men have given the book as a gag gift to friends. Those friends have begun to use the book as a place to keep lecture notes.
“I never anticipated that my book would be used for students to take their lecture notes in. In a sense they are proving me wrong by filling my book with content. But I wonder how many of them go back to thinking about sex once the lecture is over,” he told the Daily Mail.
Simove said the book took 9 days from the date of conception to publication to finish.
Representative Virgil Peck is fed up with state of immigration in Kansas. He’s so fed up that at a committee meeting he suggested having hunters in helicopters shooting at illegal immigrants like farmers control the feral pig population.
Peck later said he was joking, but was unapologetic about the comment. “I was just speaking like a southeast Kansas person,” he told the LJ World. His remarks were immediately condemned by fellow Republicans and Democrats in the assembly.
The state is considering several bills that could decrease the illegal immigrant population. Peck said he believes the controversy has passed and that his constituents agree with his sentiments.
