Hotlinks for 9/13 & 14

Posted: 10:30 PM ET

Hotlinks

The links to everything you saw in this weekend's show (and a challenge for you) are on the next page... but before we get to those there is one very important link all of us at "News To Me" want you to bookmark. CNN.com/IMPACT.

Ike is tearing up Texas right now and Louisiana and Florida are still recovering from Gustav and Fay. At CNN.com/IMPACT you can find links to organizations that have been vetted by CNN correspondents that will help out when disaster strikes, whether it's a hurricane in the United States, a landslide in China or an earthquake in Iran.

OK, public service announcement out of the way... on the next page we've got links to the raw footage of the stories we're bringing you this weekend :

Live from Daryl's House:
You are invited to jam with Daryl Hall and his famous friends at livefromdarylshouse.com.

Exploding windmill:
Snopes.com turned us on to this amazing video.

Noel Gallagher bum rushed on stage:
There are a few clips on YouTube from this incident. Start with this one (the hit is at about 1:30) and then check the related clips for other angles.

Superstar iReporter William J. Bernstein:
His username on iReport.com is WCNReporter but we just call him "Bernstein!" Check out the full interview with this Anchorman for the Everyman, then come back to see the web-only tour of his home studio.

Car Vs. Tree:
Elan Kwisinski is one lucky woman. Check out the full iReport shot on the scene of the crash just minutes after it happened. Elan has also posted pictures of her smashed BMW and the tree that fell on it at picasa.com.

Cardboard boats?
Jeff Pontsler uploaded that great video of the annual cardboard boat rally at the Celina Lake Festival in Ohio.

A twist on hands free phone safety:
It's the second highest "most viewed" clip ever on iReport.com. See comedian Skyler Stone's original uncut comedy video that pokes fun at California's hands-free driving law.

Wingsuit base jump crash:
You've seen our take on this dramatic crash, now watch the full clip in which base jumper Hans Lange barely escapes death when his parachute fails to open completely.

Inebriated high jumper:
Ivan Ukov reportedly drank a few vodka and Red Bulls during this track meet.

Massive bug scares family out of their house:
Here's the full report from ITN on CNN.com. Also check out this YouTube video from a soldier stationed in Iraq who actually caught one of the beasts. Eeeeewwww.

Wiccan worship wounds witch:
The guys at CNN's News of the Absurd found this one. Subscribe to their weekly podcast (or any of the CNN podcasts) at cnn.com/podcast

Guinea Pig festival:
Take a look at the raw footage from a festival where the cute little rodents are the guests of honor, and the main course!

And hey, seriously, as long as your here... let us know what you thought of the show this weekend. Here's your challenge... see if you can give us a complete review in 4 words or less. I'll get the ball rolling: Grayson's 4 word "News To Me" review – "Eric's hair looked great!" Now you go!

Has anyone investigated the myspace clip of the young black man claiming to be Palins daughter babys father?

John K Thompson   September 27th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

About the bail-out for Wall Street: We are supposed to have smart educated people running this Country, wrong. Wall Street made the mistakes, not the people. The C.E.O's made there billions off the people. Morgage Co. need to make it right. Americans with ajustable rate morgage, give them a low rate fixed morgage. And people that have a high fixed morgage, give them a lower fixed. Hard working Americans can start paying there morgages without having to bail out Wall Street with more of our money that we have worked so hard for. It is a shame that Washington can even think of us bailing out someone that has skimmed so much of our monies over the years.
This will be fair to everyone, Including Morgage Co. This proposal of 700 billion will only benifit Wall Street. Not the people that are losing there homes and there retirement savings.
