I doubt I can embed it here on a thread but it might be possible with some tinkering. You should be able to embed the videos in a post – no problem. RTFM.
Read the effin’ manual!

Yeah, I thought about both, but figured no, what the hell. If people actually want to hear it, or see it, or read the lyrics, Google or iTunes is their friend. A bad attitude, do you think?

You want to do what’s the easiest for you.
Just wait until the spambots find you.

I like it too, but decided to reserve it for when I comment on something sleazy, like the press treatment of Brittany Spears — or imponderable, like the Mormon idea of sacred architecture.
