POPSFred Thompson Speech (RNC Convention) Once upon a time, Fred Thompson ran for president. His campaign was inexplicably late in starting and never got any traction. A lot of conservatives were disappointed because they were looking for a more traditional candidate to fill a perceived void.

POPSDownload YouTube Videos as MP4 Files
Save the following link as a "bookmarklet" by dragging it to your Links bar (in Firefox, Safari) or right-clicking and adding it to your favorites (in Internet Explorer, Opera): to download the MP4 files, you need to use the same URL like for FLV files and append "&fmt=18": http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=ID&t=SIGNATURE&fmt=18 ID is the video's identification value, SIGNATURE is a value that prevents you from downloading the file just by knowing the ID.
