Does this ring a bell for anyone

From my message box:

Sometime, I think in the last couple weeks but it could
possibly have been any time in the last year or so, there was a comment posted to one of your blog entries that was a highly-choreographed dance video, with a distinct Swedish or Finnish or the like style, halls of mirrors, main dancer was a guy in a sort of Doctor-Who-looking outfit, it started with a nerdy teacher in a classroom with the students all swaying along to the beat and morphed into the main dance number, lots of long-leggy girls, with a really long name like "Pepihulucalistroni" or some such that I _cannot_ recall exactly. At the end the dancers all walk off in various directions, leaving just the guy-in-floppy-hat and one blonde sitting on the dais in the midst of all the mirrors. (And it's not Carmelldansen, I know that.)

Want to win a copy of Rocket Girls: The Last Planet?

[I]t’s time for the Rocket Girls: The Last Planet giveaway contest. This time, to celebrate both the book and International Women’s Day—for we are nothing if not international around here—the essay will be on gender and space exploration! The first female in space, Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova, was also the first civilian in space. Now, of course, there have been a number of female astronauts, including Japan’s own Chiaki Mukai, a JAXA astronaut and surgeon who was part of two space shuttle missions.

So, what do you think of the future of space exploration, and specifically, the future of women in space. Good idea? Bad idea? Best left to private interests rather than governments? Anarchosyndicalist communes only? Are the challenges of space so immense that the differences between men and women pale in comparison to the harshness of the environment? Let us know, and the four entries I like best will receive copies of Rocket Girls: The Last Planet!

My question is

Do you think do you think dumped who?

Wait, I have a second question: given that little scene with the money at the beginning, do you think Beardy McT-Shirt was being supported by his in-all-ways-superior girlfriend?

Who are the great villains of the American Presidency?

Something I said in someone else's LJ:

If you're going to do a grand operatic-scale villain with a US President playing the role of bad guy, there really isn't a long list of possibles and Nixon is at the top of it because of his mixture of genuine strengths and tragic flaws.

I can see a lot of POTUSes as an antagonists but not grand villains.

Who aside from Nixon should go on a list of grand villain American Presidents?

Woodrow Wilson and Andrew Jackson are two of my picks.

"L'État, c'est moi"

OTTAWA - There may have been no "formal directive" to brand Canada's government as the "Harper Government," but that doesn't mean the instructions didn't come from the top, says a spokesman for the Privy Council Office.

The bureaucratic nerve centre of the federal government was left to clear the air Monday amid furious denials from Conservatives that civil servants have been told to replace the words "Government of Canada" with "Harper Government" in some communications.

As pointed out in email

From analysis of the first four months of those measurements for over 150,000 stars, Kepler's science team has determined sizes, surface temperatures, orbit sizes and periods for over a thousand new planet candidates. Here, we show that 1.4% to 2.7% of stars like the Sun are expected to have Earth analog planets, based on the Kepler data release of Feb 2011.
