In 1964, Lyndon Johnson needed pants, so he called the Haggar clothing company and asked for some. The call was recorded (like all White House calls at the time), and has since become the stuff of legend. Johnson’s anatomically specific directions to Mr. Haggar are some of the most intimate words we’ve ever heard from the mouth of a President.
We at Put This On took the historic original audio and gave it to animator Tawd Dorenfeld, who created this majestic fantasia of bungholiana.
Enjoy this special treat from Put This On: LBJ Orders Pants. Then share it with a friend who loves pants.
This is pretty incredible.

I unabashedly love all of the Stefon skits, even though (perhaps because) Bill Hader breaks in all of them.

I can’t not blog this.
Every time the cat’s arms were in the air was one of the high points of my life. Someday my biographer will find this blog and should take note. High points: this video.
Well, this is pretty fantastic.

Wow. Please watch this. The Daily Show on Fox News on the Ground Zero Mosque. Amazing, hilarious, and depressing.
I think Wyatt Cenac is my favorite Daily Show Correspondant. This is hilarious.
YOU GUYS.
Experience Dave Rawlings’ live session at NPR’s KEXP (with Gillian Welch!) on YouTube. The video and audio quality are great, and it’s all so good.
Click here for the other videos/audio; there are four songs. You can, uh, thank me later.

*jaw drops* this kid is amazing.
The girls’ judgmental faces in the background might be the best part of this video.
This is why I love 30 Rock.
Look at your fine self. You look like you should be married to one of the San Diego Padres!

Seth Meyers: On Friday, President Obama appeared before house republicans in a historic televised Q & A and performed so well that afterwards, GOP aides said that allowing the cameras to roll like that was a mistake. Come on, Republicans, are you on such a Scott Brown high that you thought you could take down Barack Obama by debating him? You realize debates are why he’s president, right? Seriously, all you guys do is complain about how Obama is all talk, and then you invite him to a forum that’s literally all talk. That’s like saying “Let’s see how tough Aquaman is when we get him in the water!” I’m not saying you were outclassed, but the whole thing was like the scene in Raiders of The Lost Ark when the guy charged Indy with a sword and he just shot him.

My BFF made a good point that some aspect of everyone’s mother is this video.
“And pick up all that shit.” — Direct quote from my mom.
Ahahahaha.
I can’t even handle this right now. Basically, an inventor in Austria mechanized a piano in such a way that it could synthesize human speech.
It’s a pretty short video. Watch it if you’re looking for a good mind-blowing.

Best for the Best - Juliana Richer
originally by Josh Ritter
Once I knew a girl in the hard, hard times.
She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes.
Now she’s gone, but when I wear it she crosses my mind,
And if the best is for the best then the best is unkind.
I realized that Illinois was more than I could stand.
They say working’s best cause poverty is hell on a man.
Now I ride a lazy river through the Mississippi fan,
And if the best is for the best then the best can be damned.
I spent a few years on the Queen of Spain.
She was a leaky little boat that went up in flames.
When the boiler blew some people started naming names,
But if the best is for the best I guess the best is to blame.
I spent a few more as the “Cairo Crown”,
A heavyweight wrestler in the Midwest towns.
But, I was lonesome for a girl who could pin me down.
They say the best is for the best but that’s not what I’ve found.
Now I listen to my sweetheart and I listen to my thirst.
I don’t spend time listening to other people’s words;
Sometimes they’re right most times the reverse.
They say the best is for the best when the best’s for the worse.
Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes
Now she’s gone but when I wear it she crosses my mind
And if the best is for the best then the best is unkind
