Here we will explore where to look on the web for political content and news content which have a progressive flavor. After Obama's landslide win in the election, it is still crucial to keep up with the REAL news, and keep the heat on Washington.

The new commercial for Real California Milk made me smile. Above is an audition tape submitted by Soo the Korean Cow, in which she asks for your vote to become the next Happy California Cow.
"Greetings from Korea," She begins. "Please make my dream of coming to America real. Pick me to become the next Happy California Cow. Pick me so I gaze on the never-ending fields of happiness and joy.Thank you!"

Coraline

Based on Neil Gaiman’s international best-selling book, Coraline is the first 3D, high-definition stop-motion animated feature which features spectacular CG effects. A young girl… Continue
How cool would it be if your mom made you these bento boxes? Bento is a home-packed meal common in Japanese culture. A traditional bento consists of rice, fish or meat, and one or more pickled or cooked vegetables as a side dish.
