It’s a Brick… Horse

Mighty mighty, just lettin' it all hang out:
Libby on her brick horse
(Libby loves horses - the book on the floor in the background inspired the creation of this particular steed).

Photos by Libby

Libby likes to look at our digital camera - she is apt at navigating through the pictures and even playing the movies. She never takes pictures, at least with any with intent (i.e. pointing the camera at something and snapping an image). But today was different; a breakthrough was made, a light flipped on in her head, and suddenly Libby realized that taking pictures of things intentionally was FUN.

She took a total of 93 pictures. Many were of nothing in particular: floor, walls, chairs, the back half of the neighbor's dog. Here are six images that struck me as pretty good for a two-year-old (I've done no cropping, rotation, or other adjustments):

Jon Stewart Calls Out Hannity

Stewart mocks Hannity for inflating Bachmann rally attendance, trying to pass 9-12 rally footage off as Bachmann rally footage:

But I guess it's ok - they claim to be "fair" and "balanced", not truthful.

(via digg)

UPDATE: Hannity responded to the allegation and offered an apology (of sorts). He claims it was an "inadvertent mistake". Yeah, like I accidentally replaced the tape from the real rally with one from months ago that shows many more people. If he's telling the truth then his and his staff's journalism aptitude, organizational skills, and observational abilities are much worse than originally thought. If he's lying then he's an asshat who's trying to deceive instead of report. Now do you understand why people laugh at Fox "News"?

Think this was just a simple isolated mistake? Hannity did this just 1 month ago by splicing in footage of an abandoned hospital in Cuba.
