Looking for an answer to the question: What is a NON-Kinetic war?

Look no further. . .

From: White House: Libya Fight is Not War, It's 'Kinetic Military Action'

Define Kinetic:

Relating to the motion of material bodies and the forces associated therewith; "kinetic energy"

Does America owe George Orwell's estate some royalty payments for this?

Got it? People who garden love gardening, so they didn't mind the snow.

Note to the accountants and suits in the NFL: IF YOU DON'T LOVE FOOTBALL YOU'RE IN THE WRONG BUSINESS !

Perhaps you should try gardening.

So...

What's the word for when you bolster your own sense of moral superiority by belittling other people's attempts to do good, or show an affirming flame?

Nine innings of wholesome, regimented, fun.

And if you go a little crazy, and have a spontaneous moment, that's okay too...

Great video.

I like how the previous attempts (previous takes) become part of the final work. The colors on their outfits for example. But also check out the messed up, and broken props, which can be seen in the backgrounds of each area. Left-overs from previous takes.

Irony alert: Read the lyrics. Does it strike you as odd that a group with such amazingly cool ways to say things, has so little to actually say?

Who's On First with a twist. A nice rendition of one of history's best comedy stand-up routines...
