Signal 30, Part 3 (1959) Part 3 of the grisly Driver Ed film. This part is arguably the worst of all, since it features audio, not just video, of the horrific consequences of unsafe driving. Tags: driver ed gore highway safety 1959 educational film |

Signal 30, Part 1 (1959) Legendary driver ed film showing gruesome aftermath of horrific crashes. Films like this were part of teenage folklore from the fifties through the seventies, back before kids got to see dead bodies on the internet all the time. This was the grandaddy of them all. A facsinating and arcance piece of cultural history, from those pre-Ralph Nader days, when airbags didn't exist and seatbelt were considered optional. Still pretty shocking. I got this off of archive.org, so it's presumably public domain. Tags: driver's ed |

"Daughter of Horror" - graveyard flashback Unknown to many, revered by a few, the impressionistic 1950s ultranoir "Daughter of Horror" is the definition of a "CULT FILM". The story is of a psychotic woman who is driven by a childhood trauma to kill men, and the tone vacillates between garish film noir and pure hallucination. The flashback scene in the cemetary is a true highlight. Note the fluid camera work. This is not a cheap B picture. Fans of the band Garbage may recognize that this scene inspired a few shots for the video for "Push It". Believe it or not, the lurid narration was supplied by John Carson's sidekick, Ed McMahon.

The Constitution part 2 Article 1, section 1 Section 1. All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. HAVE YOU EVER READ THE CONSTITUION? ME NEITHER! This is the first of a projected series of short films intended to promote awareness of our embattled Constitution by discussing or illustrating it article by article. I'm just beginning to learn video editing, and so I expect these films will become more sophisticated as I progress through the articles. America is a nice place, and resonably decent people, but more than anything else, America is a great idea called "THE CONSTITUTION" Tags: constitution congress leslation power vintage educational film olbermann |

Jean Schmidt cuts and runs, John Murtha doesn't On her first time ever speaking from the House floor, Representative Jean Schmidt causes a commotion by violating the tradition against personal attacks from the floor, accusing Rep John Murtha, a decorated Vietnam Veteran, of cowardice. Immediately afterward, she recants, and asks that her remarks be withdrawn from the record. Oddly, the person she "quoted" claims never to have made the statement attributed to him. It is one of a series of bizarre fabrications attrbuted to Ms. Schmidt. Jean Schmidt was recently listed as one of the "Ten Dumbest Congressmen" in the article linked below: http://www.radaronline.com/features/2006/10/americas_dumbest_congressmen_a_radar_special_report.php Tags: schmidt murtha congress cowards cut and run |
