And in video news . . . .

Not really big on videoblogs, or vlogs — more of a reader/writer, and watching college chicks babble just isn’t that entertaining to me. So I’ve been out of the Youtube loop. Then I accidentally learned that CBS posts some of the Letterman stuff there, so I was able to watch Howard Stern’s appearance this week (videotape’s a pain, and I don’t have TiVo). And then I started wondering what else was there . . . and it occurred to me to search for one of my all-time favorite comedians, Norm MacDonald. I was not disappointed. Bizarre appearances on Regis and the View are posted there, but best of all, his absolutely savage Daily Show appearance from earlier this year, just days after the death of the Crocodile Hunter. It’s so funny it hurts.

The one videoblog I did deeply enjoy was Amanda Congdon on Rocketboom. Now Amanda’s gone all mainstream, which means tighter t-shirts but no more throwing the script, and her new gig at ABC News is bound to bring me even more searches for “Amanda Congdon’s breasts.” It just will.
