Bill Geist - The Cold War - CBS News Video

Another funny piece by Bill Geist, which aired on CBS News Sunday Morning today. Bill travels to Embarrass, Minnesota, which claims to be the coldest place in the lower 48. We're talking serious cold - way below ZERO!

Video: New Year's Eve snow in NJ

Not the sight I wanted to wake up to this New Year's Eve, but it is winter. Snow and freezing rain predicted for most of the day and night here in Harrington Park, NJ. I hope people are smart enough not to drink and drive, especially in this bad weather. Here's to a great 2010 for all.

This HD video was shot with the Canon PowerShot 780SD IS, a very tiny, but powerful camera.

VIDEO: People from 156 countries sing "All You Need Is Love" together, at the same moment

This is a pretty cool video put together by the Starbucks Love Project to help fight HIV/AIDS in Africa. On December 7, 2009 , people all around the world gathered in their home countries, 156 in all,  to sing The Beatles "All You Need Is Love". A nice way to end 2009 and kick off 2010.

NJ seagulls love PIZZA!

I was eating a slice of pizza in my car (from Rudy's in Closter, NJ) and noticed a flock of seagulls (at least I think that's what they were) gathering outside my car window. How did they know I was eating pizza? As soon as I rolled down my window, they all started to look at me with hunger in their eyes. I felt like Tippi Hedren from Alfred Hitchcock's THE BIRDS. I tossed out a chunk of pizza (Sicilian if you're wondering) and they loved it - except for one guy who kept sitting on the hood of my car. Maybe he was their leader? Maybe he had a big lunch and wasn't hungry?

VIDEO: Snowstorm hits NY/NJ (and me!)

Not a fun morning to drive to work in NYC. Got about 8 inches of snow in Harrington Park, NJ. Roads were mostly plowed, No salt or sand anywhere. My Subaru Forester did well in the snow, but even with AWD, it was slippery at times. Looks like Manhattan got more snow than I did at home. Did I mention how much I hate snow? By the time I got home around Noon, all the roads were salted and down to the blacktop.  I was impressed how quickly NYC and the towns in NJ cleared the snow off the roads.

VIDEO - STUPID FATHER TRICK: Dad uses baby as toy for his doberman

I believe this video takes place in Germany, so it offers further proof that people all over the world are basically stupid.

As his dumb wife shoots the video, this idiot father uses his baby as a toy to tease his pet doberman. I love how Dad switches between the ball and his baby's feet, which he happily places in the dog's jaws. Towards the end of the video, the dog snaps at the baby's face, but luckily misses.

If anyone understands German, I'd love to know what the wife is saying, as she gleefully videotapes this lunacy.

After this video became public, why wasn't that baby placed in protective custody and the parents arrested? If the baby was injured, the dog would be blamed and probably be killed.  The parents would remain free to procreate and bring another living dog toy into the world.

It was a lot of fun prompting Snoop Dogg. The [  ] in the scripts are where the curse words were censored for TV.

VIDEO: Sarah Palin Goes Star Trek on The Tonight Show

After months of lameness as the new host of the The Tonight Show, Conan O'Brien finally hit one out of the park (or at least his writers did) with this brilliant idea. Go Shatner and Sarah!

And if you haven't been watching Shatner's Raw Nerve on the Biography Channel, you're missing the best interview on TV.

VIDEO: Do Netflix DVDs spread disease?

We probably get exposed to more germs from money and the remote control.
