Colbert On Gulf Oil Spill (VIDEO): Blackened Catfish, Anyone?

Another masterful take on the news from The Colbert Report! Sad when in 90 seconds, the fake newscast does a better job of conveying the size and magnitude of this spill - which trust me, for us folks in Louisiana and all across the Gulf Coast, is no laughing matter (still laughed at Colbert's "Wall of fire the size of Rhode Island" line of course!).

Great time to be in North Dakota - and poor, old West Virginia (almost off the chart - literally!).

Afghanistan PowerPoint slide: Generals left baffled by PowerPoint slide

Well, here's the actual slide, believe it or not:

This slide should be shown in every "Presentation 101" class (whether it be in a college, university, or corporate training session). It is the antithesis of how to convey a message. What were they thinking - and what does this say about our thinking?

This should be Exhibit A for all training on how to - or rather, how not to - put together an effective PowerPoint presentation!
