This has been floating around the internet, esp. in the "Intervention" discussion group over at Television Without Pity.  I've seen Kristen Chenoweth in "Pushing Daises" and she is great as Olive. She's got a Broadway background, and it really shows here.  She is 4 feet and 11 inches of win!

Video is hilarious, but not quite SFW:

Note the leading zeroes, this could be a long list...

Victoria Jackson, former SNL member (she usually played the spacey blonde characters in sketches) has held forth her opinions on the candidacy of one Barack Obama:

...Nearly getting T-Boned by an SUV bearing the logo of " Agape Coffee House".  Or maybe it was a tea house,  I dunno, I was trying not to get greased.
