Various Videos
In the absence of an actual article, here are a bunch of random videos combined with tiny articles that are definitely not actual. Read them, watch them, love them, or ignore them and move on to a more interesting part of the Internet.
Dumb Global-Warming-Type Video
This video, created by Madonna, is a promotional music video for Live Earth, Al Gore's miserable failure of a global-warming awareness concert. On the surface, it's a fairly slick music video made with a lot of quick cutting and emotional footage. Beneath the surface, it isn't anything at all. Just try paying attention to the lyrics for a few seconds and you'll probably notice something: the song was constructed entirely from a bunch of vague hippy-isms that don't even relate to the subject at hand, or any subject for that matter. There are a few visual gems to watch for as well: several shots of evil nuclear power plants, which happen to be carbon-emission free (they emit steam, not smoke); lots of wretched, impoverished children, who apparently became wretched and impoverished because of global warming; and middle-eastern Muslims, who would sooner behead an infidel like Al Gore than hug a tree, bowing in a mosque (which is obviously the green thing to do). On the plus side, this is probably the best Madonna music video ever, completely due to the total absence of the artist herself in the footage.
Video of a Scary Person of Color
There are two kinds of people in this world: scary people, and not-scary people. The person in this video is definitely one of the former. The question is, why was this on C-SPAN? Scary.
Video of a Scary White Guy
Mike Gravel is an obscure ex-senator from Alaska who happens to be running for president. He gained a big online following due to his over the top antics and anti-establishment ranting during the recent Democratic candidate debates. And he just made this video. If you can tell me what it means, you win a biscuit.
And that's about it.

I'm not sure which one is the scariest. All three are pretty bad. You are right that it is probably Madonna's best video ever...although thematically a bit scatter-brained, it had great visuals and the music is very catchy with great vocals. Best of all, like you said, not a glimpse of Madonna throughout. Not sure anyone can quite figure out what the real message is....but then, who cares?
The scary man of color was also pretty bad...but what scared me even more than him was that anyone in the room could even consider applauding. THAT is SCARY!!
As for the last scary man.....I guess there'll be NO biscuit for me. That has to rank among the most bizarre video clips I've ever seen. Guess he's running against Tommy Thompson for the bottom rung of the ladder leading to the 2nd Tier.
Good stuff. Keep on posting. Have you considered sending a link to your blog to Hugh Hewitt. If you'd rather not promote yourself...I will.
And I thought The Exorcism of Emily Rose was disturbing...
Wow. I'd never heard Madonna before. What a thoroughly engineered piece of propaganda.
I don't think I'd ever actually heard such radically racist hate speech either.
I think Mike Gravel was having a staring contest with those on the other side of the camera. He won.
I personally dont think exterminating white people will solve many problems but then again... It hasnt been tried before.
