Best Let's Players

For those of you that don't know, Let's Play (or lp for short) is a genre of internet video.  People record their game footage (from various different game) and their commentary while playing the game.  For my fellow nerds out there, think of this as like Mystery Science Theater 3000, just with games instead of movies.  Here are my personal favorite lpers:

Michele Bachmann on intelligence committee

Ok, I get the fact that right now, the intelligence committee is under republican control.  Which of course means that only republicans will probably be in it.  But...
Twenty four hours into his post as Speaker of the House, John Boehner has thrown a bone to the Tea Party (as well as every comedian and satirist in the country) by naming Michelle Bachmann to the National Intelligence committee.  Famous for her over-the-top rants about Republican purity tests and Communist witch-hunts, Bachmann has provided a litany of factually incorrect sound-bites, and intellectually dishonest (or simply downright stupid) press releases.

Seriously?  Michele "The media should investigate which officials are pro or anti American" Bachmann?  What.  The.  Hell.  I can even understand wanting to throw bone to the tea-baggers, but at least pick someone who has a hint of sanity.  Sigh.  If nothing else, the next few years should be interesting...
