Go here to view a video made in London at the turn of the 20th Century. It’s about a minute long and has several fascinating street scenes.

I have a couple of nifty items to share today. First, check out these NASA images of Saturn’s tiny inner moon, Enceladus.

Be sure to view all the images and read the captions — it’s the compilation of images that makes these Cassini images so striking. A couple of the close fly-bys show striking detail of the moon’s surface. (Via Patricia Rogers.)

I haven’t actually watched SNL since the Belushi-Ackroyd glory days. But, as we know, they’ve been experiencing a resurgence with their take on the upcoming election.

This sketch is further evidence that something is badly broken inside my head.
I’ve watched Sarah Palin speak and she gives me the creeps. She’s such a blatantly obvious sociopath that I have the same instinctive, uncontrollable reaction to her that I’ve always had to GWB. I’m absolutely nonplussed that some people think that she’s a VPILF.
But I also instinctively react in exactly the oppposite way to Tina Fey. Dude, she is one hot, juicy babe.
And I can’t tell them apart visually.
