This weekend was quite interesting and there’s an equally interesting number of things out there to see!

• A list of Vice-Presidential nominees for Obama to consider with their pros and cons, including John Edwards, Joe Liberman, Hilary Clinton, Alice Cooper, Optimus Prime and Dr.Perry Cox!
• The Hill went to all 97 senators who are not running for President and asked "If you were asked, would you accept an offer to be the VP nominee?" and the responses vary in awesomeness. There’s the classic "I love my job representing the good people of ____", the serious responses about not carrying swing states and so on and then the good ones. 
  My favorites being "Does that include any sports picks or anything like that?" and “Absolutely. Absolutely. I think I would be great. First of all, I know how to behave at weddings and funerals. And I know how to be commander in chief. I’d bring a lot of fun to the job. We would rock the Naval Observatory.” Way to go Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.)!

• A slick slingshot for your hand. From the Holon Institute of technology’s "Next Exit" Exhibition, so alas, its not for sale.

• From the Smoking Gun’s rider archives, the Foo Fighters’ 2008 rider features such gems as "Bath towels – if they are new and unwashed, you will receive a wedgie." and "Please make arrangements for leftover food to be collected by a local soup kitchen, homeless shelter or our roadie that looks like Osama Bin Laden". Let me tell you though, page 3? Gold.

• A clip of an italian variety show of a man who drives an excavator to undress a woman. A big yellow six ton excavator. Crazy.

• Great shots of the Space Needle in Seattle getting a high pressure wash via A Whole Lotta Nothing. This is my favorite but there are many more.
