...Although millions of text-driven blogs have blossomed worldwide, there are only a couple hundred video blogs out there. To sample some, check out Japanese slacker vlog avoidinglife.com, music-video blog sxsw.com/music or the Drudge Report-like compendium of diary vlogs vidblogs.com. Hollywood celebrities are also plunging in: Adam Sandler's personal site offers regular video messages from the comic...

(Of course, neither luck, nor good fortune, factor into the success of these “winners.”) Clearly, it’s all a testimony to the fact that those roughly 35 million Americans living in poverty are simply not driven or innovative enough to improve their plight. To these debaters, the very poor are most likely happy to lazily wait around for the government’s handouts—which, according to many of my misinformed opponents, are tantamount to stipends that allow for an incredibly comfortable life...
