A video that will shock a country ... and save the world -- Piercing Piers -- Marathon man -- Google doesn't do Easter -- Tweet of Yesterday -- Today in North Korean News | 1.) A video that will shock a country ... and save the world -- Is that dramatic enough? No? How about this: A video that will free your soul ---and liberate the oppressed. How about that? No? Too bad. The Daily Caller presents "Our Story":
"The Northern Virginia-based political news outlet Politico recently produced and published a video describing its origins and importance. Inspired by the video's seriousness and awed by the impact the video tells us Politico is having on the lives of elite men and women across this great land, The Daily Caller now tells its own tale of its founding and impact for posterity. We hope it changes your life."
Watch it. Then watch it again. Then ponder what you saw for an hour or so. Then watch it again and revaluate your life. If you still don't understand the point of the film, contact Daily Caller Associate Editor Christopher Bedford (bedford@dailycaller.com) and ask him to send you the decoder. Hint: If he tells you it doesn't exist, keep pestering him. It exists, alright --- and he has it. | 2.) Piercing Piers -- Piers Morgan sought to marginalize a traditional marriage proponent on his show last week. But think tank scholar Ryan Anderson acquitted himself well despite the ad hominem assault. TheDC's Jamie Weinstein reports on who he is and what he believes:
"As the segment came to a close, Morgan unloaded on Anderson, calling him un-American for holding the same view on gay marriage that Hillary Clinton publicly held until just over a week ago and Barack Obama stood for until last year. ... 'I think there is nothing more American than debating and discussing and then voting about political issues,' Anderson told The Daily Caller, when asked what he thought about Morgan calling his views un-American. 'And Piers Morgan is taking the position that the Supreme Court should remove this discussion from democratic deliberation and kind of issue an elitist ruling from on high, much like he was doing to me [with] him up on the podium and the stage, and me down in the audience.'"

"Former vice presidential nominee and fitness aficionado Paul Ryan was widely derided when he inflated his marathon time during a radio interview last year, but one upstart Senate candidate is hoping to turn his long-distance running prowess into a political advantage. Gabriel Gomez, a Republican running for Secretary of State John Kerry’s old Senate seat, will run the Boston Marathon in two weeks, less than a month before Massachusetts Republicans go to the polls to pick a nominee. Gomez qualified for the race at a marathon in New Hampshire in 2011, with a time of three hours, 22 minutes and 'I think like 40 seconds or something,' he told The Daily Caller in a phone interview. 'It was under 3:23,' Gomez, 47, insisted. He needed a time under 3 hours and 25 minutes to qualify. 'It’s not a Paul Ryan time. ... I legitimately qualified,' he said." | 4.) Google doesn't do Easter -- But it does do Cesar Chavez. TheDC's Patrick Howley reports:
"On Easter Sunday, Google is honoring the birthday of the late labor organizer Cesar Chavez by placing a Chavez portrait within the middle 'o' of the Google logo that appears on the homepage of the popular search engine. While Google frequently decorates its logo to celebrate various holidays and special events, it is unclear why the company chose specifically to honor Chavez’s birthday, instead of Easter Sunday. ... Conservatives on Twitter have reacted angrily to Google’s Chavez tribute."
Now apparently Google doesn't regularly honor religious holidays of any stripe with its doodles. But if it is not going to pay tribute to one of the most important holidays in Christianity, perhaps the company should refrain from honoring anything or anyone at all on Easter. | | 5.) Tweet of Yesterday -- Shachar Bar-On: overheard yesterday in central park: "he's our friend." "well, he's really our FRENCH friend." "well, actually he's our drug dealer." | | 6.)
