LAst years trips to Norway were enough for me for a bit. Im enjoying going just as far as the beach this year.
I get really plane sick on occasion though which puts a damper on long distance travel sometimes. :beaten:

Don't you take anything to counteract the airsickness?

Im fine unless it gets really turbulent. Its just that once I get sick I stay sick.
Think it is a problem with my inner ear. I cant do most rides at the amusements parks either. The last time I did a spin ride I couldnt walk for 24 hours. :sweat:
I enjoy them while Im on them but apparently my system can't hack it.

Screaming weak attacks which required heavy editing of numerous unrelated, half second clips to have any relevance is considered "ripping"? I enjoy political satire as much as the next person, but if this was considered "ripping" then standards for humor must have hit rock bottom. That clip had as much intelligence and wit as a comedy act written by 3rd graders; no wonder the writers and readers of the Huffington Post are salivating about it. Stewart is a talentless idiot whose humor appeals to the same crowd that thinks he's a news source.

The same argument could be applied to Glenn Beck.

Yes, along with being a crying drama queen. However, Glenn Beck doesn't require talent. He's not a comedian; he's a commentator. Same applies to the the second highlight. He's not a news source; he's a commentator. He makes no allusions about it. Beck has also not required heavily edited clips to show his points. Every person he's exposed "incriminated" themselves without selective editing of video clips. Whether you agree or disagree with what that person said is another matter; they said it and within the context of their intent.

I'm not going to make this political. I'm not a fan of Beck, but he hasn't been deceitful. He hasn't cobbled staged events, fake images, and cherry picked interpretations that don't stand up to scrutiny, then called it a documentary like Michael Moore. He's shown you what he had and gave his view of it. Whether you agree or think he's crazy, he's been forthright. The same can't be said of Stewart who comments politically, but hides behind satire when he has to back them up. You can't have it both ways. If he wants to be a commentator, then he needs to stand behind what he says when scrutinized. If he wants to be a satirist, he can't edit half second unrelated clips to "rip". Humor comes from timing, intelligence, and wit; if you have to twist and bend things to fit your joke, then it's no longer humor and you suck as a social comedian/satirist. That's ultimately my complaint with Stewart. It's not that he's left wing, but that he's a comedian that isn't funny except to a crowd who's so entrenched in similar beliefs that they would laugh at anything he says because they agree.

Thanks for posting the link. It's very calming to watch the the giant bubbles moving in the wind. I'm bookmarking it so that I can watch it when I get stressed. :D
