The heroic Mario fights for the people. It's inspiring.
(via One Good Thing. And to answer Flea's questions, yes, yes, late teens, they had no problem, of course they are—but we threw every terrifying thing we could find at the kids, it wasn't very scary, it was for kids, and you have to be the judge of whether you're overprotective.)

It doesn't include any clips produced since the vp debate, but it is a pretty good countdown of Palin's "greatest hits" (with a guest appearance by an overprotective and embarrassed John McCain!);
Gever Tulley, founder of the Tinkering School, talks about our new wave of overprotected kids -- and spells out 5 (and really, he's got 6) dangerous things you should let your kids do.
Something my sister pointed out, based on driving from San Francisco to southern California, and subsequently confirmed by local observations (for example, in the parking lot on my way back from basketball today):
The People's Mario has been a long-time favorite of mine on Newgrounds. There is also a pretty funny "tribute" to Kent Hovind posted a couple days ago on NG; I suggested the author should send it to Pharyngula, but not sure if he did or not.
There is one problem with this. It celebrates bourgeois individualism. The People's Mario needs to learn solidarity.

"Solidarity Forever". The union makes us strong.
Victory to the Proletariat!
That's you!
Fidel Castro hops on the 9-11 conspiracy bandwagon
Probably few Americans know "The International". Here is Billy Bragg singing it in English. Who can disagree with the sentiments? Except wingnuts of course.

This "Mario on Shrooms" video is, in my opinion, way, way funnier.

But Commissar, THE KELP IS ROTTING ON THE VINES!
God damn that was a brilliant episode: "Nobody shucks my corn but meeeeeee....."
Bozhemoi, he even wears a hat like Trofim Denisovitch!
I guess the turtle was that burgeois Mendelist-Morganist Vavilov.

That is funny. It took me a half-a-minute to realize that the woman was Peach - odd given that I use a "Golfing Peach" image as my avatar on Yahoo. Duh!
Eegggggg! Sorry for the triple post.
Please accept my apologies.

bernarda,
Pete Seeger and Billy Bragg referenced in the same thread?
Yes! There is hope.
Raising 'shrooms on the collective?

On the Mario tip, it would be a shame if nobody name-dropped Handré De Jager in this thread. (Link is to a blog posting about Handre, his "deviantart" site seems to be empty now, but you can find more of his wonderful, surreal, and disgusting video game art by just doing a google image search on his name.)
Is this the one you meant MJ Memphis?

Eingang, that art is rather naive, but I also rather like it.
Thanks!
We decided to make Saturday night family movie night, and sit down and watch it with them. The people have spoken: we are overprotective weenies. Monster House it is.
Mendelist-Morganist-Weissmannist, please. Except I'm not sure about the number of ns in the third part.
Alas, not the sentiments, comrade. The inability to realize the ideal, and the willingness to sell out the sentiments, and the haste to sacrifice innocents on the altar of a 'golden future time', all these are why I disagree. That's why I think utopianism, be it Marxist or Hayekian, is a very dangerous thing.
But the Internationale is catchy.
