Aww, that's so sweet! It's amazing how that sense of pride and sportsmanship can spread, isn't it? Like, everyone is rooting for their own country, but you become acutely aware of how we're all taking part in the human race, too.

There was the story of a mother and her little 5 year old son in a car crash, last week: she called the EMS because her car was going into a frozen lake, but dispatch didn't register the call (human or technological error, I don't know which). Then she called her husband, but by the time he got there, the car was…

I know... :-/ I hardly post anything on Facebook and I don't have twitter/google+/instagram/flickr/anything else, because I don't want to lose track of what I've posted. But I really value my anonymity on here - it allows me to be more open than I otherwise would - and I hate the practice of digging for more dirt,…

People should be able to delete an online post without someone scratching through their digital garbage like a subway rat, looking for something to use against them. Twitter is not gawker media: if you post a comment here, you only have a tiny period in which to edit it, and then it stays posted permanently. Twitter…

Sheryl Crow on Lance Armstrong: "I think that honesty is always the best bet and that the truth will set you free. To carry around a weight like that would be devastating in the long run."

I think she means because that was when she most idolised Michelle Kwan?

This "swatting" thing is really awful. Can't we go back to stupid planking? It's such a waste of resources and might cause emergency services to hesitate during a real crisis, if they're being flooded with prank calls all the time.

I know! Is that the real him? Because that was GOLD.

Dude. George W. Bush said the Kanye West insult was the "worst moment" of his whole 8 year presidency. Talk about not understanding the enormity of his position!

Can we talk about the extraordinary lip-synching abilities of the kitten at 1:00?

You may have some competition. There will be a stringent interview process before a suitable human companion can be selected.

AWWWWWWW!! Validation!!

He is cute; I think part of it is that he looks like he has good rhythm and he's really into it. I love that. :) I can't not-love the Latino-looking guy in red at the end, too.

I am all puffed up as if he were my own president! I think I feel this way because I love to see exemplary members of the human race, in general. It gives me hope for the future.

I keep changing my mind about what the best part is. At first, I thought it was when he first turned around.. but then when I turned up the volume, I thought I heard him saying something like "one last photo"?

I pretty much see my own little animated bluebirds and dancing mice, whenever those two look at each other.

Oh, well. I won't lose any sleep for being a warm, decent person with the ability to recognise warmth and decency in others. How about you?

Gotcha, thanks. :)
