2x4 Through the Windshield
From the author: "Okay, so I only posted this video because my son wanted to see if we could get 1,000 hits. And I thought maybe having a little fun with it might help me deal with it too. I disabled comments because people were being so incredibly mean. So far I've Been accused of faking it (really?), been blamed for everything from the high price of gas global warming, and it was getting out of hand. Believe it or don't, it really did happen. Analyze the why's and how's if you need to, but I only thought it was an incredible dose of reality and that people would be shocked to see it. And really people, why in the world would you have to be so hateful??? Pay attention at the 30 second mark. No- it wasn't an April Fools joke, it really happened, and I was fine."

A Song About the Maos Chitim Project
A song by Nissen Brenenson to an old familiar tune, introduces a mega project in honor of Yud Aleph Nissan, the Lubavitcher Rebbe's 110th birthday. Boys and girls will raise money for Maos Chitim for each line of Tanya they learn by-heart.
Via ColLive.com - Tzivos Hashem "Chayolim" are teaming up to give the Rebbe an incredible and unique gift - learn tens of thousands of lines of Tanya and Mishnayos Baal Peh and raise funds for Maos Chitim.
41 Chabad schools from around the world signed up for a mega Yud Aleph Nissan project marking the Rebbe's 110th birthday and dedicated in memory of Nosson Deitsch OBM, a bochur known for his love for learning.
"Nosson truly was a model bochur whose tremendous Ahavas Yisroel reached out to all those who knew him," Rabbi Shimmy Weinbaum of Tzivos Hashem told COLlive.com.
"Nosson learned and continued to review all 53 prokim of Likutei Amorim by heart until his passing last year on Lag BaOmer, and throughout his life inspired others to do the same."
Boys and girls will be learning lines of Torah by heart in blocks of 110. Lubavitch Educational Center of Florida, for example, is pledging 48x110 lines of Tanya - a total of 5280 lines of Tanya. Bnos Menachem of Crown Heights is learning 59x110 lines of Tanya, totaling 6490.
In addition, "chayolim" will be asking family and neighbors to donate a dollar for each line they learn by heart with the proceeds going to local Maos Chitim funds helping the poor for Pesach. Crown Heights money, for example, will be going to Chevra Simchas Shabbos V'Yom Tov (CSSY).
There are 2,000 chayolim participating and the goal is to raise $36,000.
"If one of the chayolim call you, please remember how much the Rebbe always spoke about the importance of Maos chitim and give whatever you can," Weinbaum said.

Confused Baby
I can't really blame the ababy here. I mean imagine yourself lying there and having a 40 foot tall, two thousand pound giant hovering over you. At first they smile at you and so you feel safe, so you smile back. Then they make a loud noise like they are going to eat you. It would scare the manure out of you.
I'm sure this baby is related to this baby, somehow. either a cousin or something...

A Brave News Reporter
Geraldo Rivera A Fox News correspondent, and often controversial reporter, was caught in rival crossfire covering the latest upheaval in Libya – all with cameras rolling. Rivera and his news crew were caught in the middle of the firefight near Brega, Libya. He was covering the latest news out of the country recently torn by citizens fighting for freedom from Muammar Gaddafi’s rule. Rivera said it was a disorganized situation and a result of bad timing. “It is a mess out there. It was a wild, wild scene. It was a wild exchange, a shootout against two unruly gangs.”

Sobbing 3-Year-Old Really Wants to Be Governor of NJ
Watch out, Governor Christie, you may have some competition. A clip making the rounds on YouTube features 4-year-old Jesse Koczon. The clip was shot in 2009. His brother Brandon seems to share his political acumen, correctly identifying Arnold Schwarzenegger as the governor of California (he was in office at the time).
For his part, Christie took to Twitter to try to reassure the boy. “Don’t worry Jesse, people gave plenty of reasons why I couldn’t be Governor, though being too small wasn’t one of them,” Christie tweeted.
Jesse may be sobbing in the video, but the family might be laughing all the way to the bank: the clip won $10,000 on “America’s Funniest Videos” in December. Jesse’s political future may also not be too bright with some voters: in the video he answers “yes” when asked if he’d raise property taxes.
