Pop culture, copyright, Communists, and libraries
Having trouble keeping up with your TV watching lately? Despair not, Hulu.com has come to the rescue {via Joyce}. The advertising business model makes it free and legal to watch entire shows. But if all I want to share is the libraries-are-a-Communist-plot story from the Colbert Report, it's easier to do on YouTube than from Hulu, where you'd have to watch the whole October 7, 2008 episode to find it. Still, a pretty darned viable alternative (not to mention, a higher quality one).

So funny. Love the Stephen Colbert. Of course, as a person who lives between library districts, there is nothing free about the public libraries for me. This gives me no end of sorrow.
Hahahaha!!
Libraries ARE kind of communistic, if you think about it. :)
"Math is a non-communist subject." - From when we had to make statements about our school (We get split up: half do algebra, the other do geometry. I'm in geometry.)
And of course, there's nothing free at all about libraries - it just feels that way when the tax bite is already taken :-).
Hmm, math if math is a non-communist subject, does that mean it's capitalist? I think I just killed the metaphor.
*hums Colbert Report theme*
"Math is a non-communist subject." This can be backed up...how?
