Pyongyang residents given fish in memory of Kim Jong-il

&feature=youtu.be

I could be wrong, but the girl @ the 2:00 part of this video looks as if she is reading a prepared cue card statement. It's sad to see these people brainwashed by the thuggish North Korean government.

Btw... Did you get a good look at the fish?

My goodness!! Hoping that these weren't found floating in the Fukushima waters of the Pacific.

Interview: Al Franken at the closing of the Winterland Ballroom 1978

Since I am new to this site I thought I would offer up (to the political junkies and gods) this video from an old VHS tape that I found a few weeks ago. This interview is interesting b/c Franken pretends like he is on the Democratic Convention floor in 1968. It's hard to say if he is high or not. Near the end it sounds like he says "acid". And when the video cuts to the floor at the end, you can hear him apologizing to Norm and Glenn.

A little more background about this video:

Winterland Ballroom was the site of many great concerts. This happened to be its last show. The Grateful Dead performed the final show on this night. Their opening act were The Blues Brothers.

Thanks DU for such a cool site. I plan on feeding my political obsession with this site and its users.

Thanks,

David
