In last Sunday’s Inquirer, Pulitzer Prize-winner Mike Vitez, who is always good for a great trend or human interest story, had one of his best of recent memory.

It was the story of residents in retirement homes bowling… with Nintendo Wii.

Below check this video for the new media that the Inqy isn’t providing but totally should be. ..How can you not enjoy it?

The Temple News loves CREED!

I have been cleaning, organizing and scanning many of the 86-years of archives of The Temple News, the college newspaper for which I work, and every once in a while you come across a gem.

Remember Creed? Of course you do. Well, in 1998, while Creed was at its peak, the band came to Philadelphia and TTN was there, with a review, interview and plenty of love. Rock it out, my friend.

Yes you read that headline right, ‘Creed continues to rise!’

What do you think?

God and politics in Lynchburg, Tennessee

This video is typical puffy shirted yuppie goes to the South to make someone with an accent seem stupid. It is unfair, and harmful and… undeniably amusing. …But damn it if I am not at least somewhat against it.

See what two women, and a teenager, think about Barack Obama and the bible.

I saw this video on the Clog, the news blog of Philadelphia CityPaper.

A video tribute to George Washington's birthday

Today, Feb. 22, is the 276th anniversary of George Washington, the dude who is recognized as the first president of the United States. Good for him.He is dead now, though, died Dec. 14, 1799, according to my calendar. Still, he died a long time ago, so it isn’t that sad. Let’s celebrate him with, perhaps, a decidedly strange song in his honor?

I saw this on Digidigidigi on President’s Day.

Understand the Democratic vote through dance

Are you having difficulty understanding why Barack Obama is soaring and Hillary Clinton is drowning in Democratic Party primaries and caucuses all of sudden? Do you love to watch politicians dance or talk about the importance of dance education? Well, boy, do I have a post for you.

See, I have summed up the recent dynamic in the Democratic Party through something we all understand… dancing.

Online searches for Barack and Hillary dancing come up with two distinctly different interpretations ensue. Seriously, watch, you’ll get it.
