This is a great little secret to rotate random videos in your post (using Viper’s Video Quick Tags) or on your home or sidebar pages. It all depends on a little Wordpress Plugin called Random Words by Ozh.

The secret is to select the Youtube videos you want in the rotation and enter them into a list kept by the Random Words plugin. When you choose a video only copy from the Youtube URL the last portion;

e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPYGFNIv_Ak

You would only use the portion in bold, the DPYGFNIv_Ak part of the url. Populate your list with the videos you like.

To place the videos into a blog post you would use Viper’s Quick Tags and set it up like this (my Random Word list is named ‘videos’)

[ youtube][ random:videos][/youtube ]

Simply hit RELOAD or REFRESH to change the video.

To use the Random Words plugin on your home page or sidebar it is as easy as adding this code to your php:

In an effort to continually re-invent (needlessly I might add) the BiggAndyy franchise, I will be trying a new theme format; the Magazine Theme. The creme-de la creme of the Wordpress Magazine Theme World is of course the Revolutions Magazine Theme.

However, since I don’t have/want to shell out $100.00 bucks American cash, I am doing what any red blooded skinflint would do, try and find a free alternative someone else came up with.

I hope you like the new look and I hope it can be a winner. I might even want to blog a bit more often.

Slusho is people

 

Not sure if the Abrams people have a sense of humor or if this is a legitimate clue. In either case, “Slusho is people!!!” Got it from the Happy Talk section of slusho.jp Have to click through about 20 different sayings, some seem like clues and some… well, seem like a bit of fun.

A quick piece by Ben Smith over at Politico.

Source

The politics of global warming got very concrete, and oddly difficult, In a meeting with local environmentalists in the coastal town of McClellanville today, where Elizabeth Edwards raised in passing the importance of relying on locally-grown fruit.

“We’ve been moving back to ‘buy local,’” Mrs. Edwards said, outlining a trade policy that “acknowledges the carbon footprint” of transporting fruit.

“I live in North Carolina. I’ll probably never eat a tangerine again,” she said, speaking of a time when the fruit is reaches the price that it “needs” to be.

Edwards had talked about “sacrifice,” at the meeting, but Elizabeth’s suggestion illustrated just how difficult it is to sell the specifics of sacrifice.

Asked about her comment immediately after the event, Edwards avoided the question twice, then said he isn’t sure.

“Would I add to the price of food?” he asked. “I’d have to think about that.”

UPDATE: Just to be clear, he’s not talking about a food tax. The basic point is that any plan that imposes new costs on carbon emissions is going to make anything that’s transported long distances with fossil fuels cost more. It is, in a way, a moment of clarity in this debate.

My goodness! A millionaire is going to sacrifice her love of tangerines in order to save the planet from Global Warming. If this isn’t proof positive that they don’t even believe their own rhetoric. As long as something sounds politically correct, even if it is patently absurd, then kook liberals like E.E. think they should be respected.

After all, she is giving up tangerines. I wonder if she could pick a tangerine out from a lineup of other citrus fruit? I doubt it. Lizzy, we all know that you think of yourself as superior to the rest of the country because you have money, but do yourself a favor, shut up around the press. You are an embarrassment to yourself.
