The Smorgasbord of Douglas Bell

My first YouTube Grab of 2009 and the last one that I will ever have on this blog. Mostly to remind myself that I’m going to be getting a full-blown blog post on here very soon, at least I plan to…

By the way, if you haven’t seen my recent announcement, since I’ve only mentioned it on Twitter, you might want to take a look.

As this always-grueling commercialism part of the Christmas season comes to a close, perhaps we could all benefit from some laughs as we move ahead to Christmas Day tomorrow. That said, here’s two hilarious clips from the old show Whose Line is it Anyway? making fun at Santa Claus. Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night!

Very interesting Daily Show interview here which featured Arianna Huffington (of The Huffington Post) who talked about one of my favorite topics: blogging. She describes blogging just like it is–and Jon Stewart just refuses to “get” it. Nevertheless, I’m going to probably give her new book a try and see if it offers any useful morsels of good blogging information. Nevertheless, it’s good to see people like her spreading the word about what it really means to be a blogger and about just blogging her passion.

And for the record, no, I didn’t know that nine out of ten Italian cheeses are fake. Then again, I didn’t know there was such a thing as Italian cheese. Boy, I’m out of the loop. I guess it’s all in the curds. (Ooh, bad pun!)

With Monday’s announcement that we are now officially in a recession (wow, I had absolutely no idea after all of the crazy events of the past 2-3 months), you’d think that most people would be trying to pinch pennies this holiday season. Ah, but that rule doesn’t apply to the super-rich, as Stephen Colbert sarcastically points out in his latest edition of his Colbert Platinum segment.

Another retro Daily Show clip to share with you on this Happy Thanksgiving. (Isn’t it amazing, I’ve successfully abstained from mentioning the singing turkeys! Err, um, oops…)

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and enjoy your last day of peace before the craziness of the commercial Christmas shopping season starts!
