Dude, your not going to believe this, check this out:
One Dollar Water (ht. wotp)
And with an effort not to make a statement one way or the other at the moment, I just figured those who haven’t heard any of Jeremiah Wright’s sermons and statements in context should watch this clip (ht. Will):
I tend not to promote commercial videos, but being as my wife is in the healthcare industry, I thought this was pretty cool (ht. virgil):
Figure I should just post some good videos I’ve watched recently.
Why We Fight is phenomenal. It really makes you angry, or at least should raise some questions if your pro-war. Below is the trailer:
Somebody put the entire movie up in multiple segments on youtube. You can find it here.
Who Killed The Electric Car? is also a very interesting documentary. It definitely raises some questions about why we aren’t farther along then we should be as it relates to more sustainable transportation. Trailer below:
And the best way to get a hold of both of these movies is…
1. Check them out from your local library
2. Get them from Redbox for free (I can walk to the one at Cub down the street from my house. But you have to return them by 9pm the next night). Free Codes Here.
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to watch the first part of the PBS series, Race: The Power of An Illusion, with a group of folks from our church. It’s an incredible video series that I truly believe every person should be required to watch at some point in their lives.
I can’t seem to find any clips from the first section that I saw yesterday, but I’m going to include just one from the whole documentary to give you a taste of the information you’ll hear about.
You can probably find the series at your local library, just take a look.
“White by Law”
this clip summarizes two contradicting cases regarding the law of naturalization and race,

I was going to call this collection random too, but I realized as I was posting videos I’d seen recently on others blogs, they all had some connection to Shane Claiborne.
Since I heard him speak yesterday at Bethel, I figure we might as well call this all some what related to Shane.
Cobalt Season (Ryan Sharp playing here did a lot of the artwork for Claiborne’s new book, Jesus for President) in the studio. (ht. Work of the People)
I think I’ve posted this before, Money Drop, I think it was the first big media event involving Shane Claiborne was involved in. May this event be an inspiration to your Economic Stimulus Check Givers! (ht. Godgrown)
Cool DVD worth checking out about Anti-Consumerism with Shane and Tony Campolo
And this isn’t related but I thought it was a good video by Sara Groves (ht. What is the Kingdom?)
No particular theme, explanation, and I know it’s late…
YouTubesday is going to be slim today, mainly because I have three videos I’d strongly encourage you to watch, and they are a little bit longer then most.
GOOD Magazine has been making some amazing videos. Particularly this one fits well with much of the topics on this blog, it’s about Skid Row in LA. There are two videos here, the first an intro to Skid Row, the second, particularly about kids on the street. If you have to watch just one, watch the second one below.
Kids on Skid Row
(ht. gathering and compassion)
If that was the intro, this is the conclusion. This video is about 15 minutes, but well worth a listen. Shaun Groves is a musician from Nashville who sees his music opportunity mostly as a channel through which to promote sponsoring kids through Compassion International. It’s awesome to see his unwavering commitment. And he keeps a pretty quality blog too. Here’s a little mini sermon called Saved For…
Great collection this week.

It’s Super Tuesday, so I’m going to put a few political pieces up. This is not to say I’m supporting one particular candidate or anything, but found these videos interesting.
But, before politics, the first video you need to check out is the Scrabulous Music Video. It’s on YouTube, here’s the link. Go, watch, Favorite It, Rate It, and share it with your friends. My great friend Zach made it and I’d love to see it on the front page of Youtube.
Yes, We Can.
