Reader Brad K. sends an item about the AFP Photo service running a picture of Tina Fey as an actual picture of Sarah Palin.

Oops.

Yesterday, during a session with college journalists from around the state over at A&T, N&R editor John Robinson asked the students:

"How many of you heard Sarah Palin say that she could see Russia from her house?"

A number of hands were raised as the students laughed.

"And how many of you know that she didn't actually say that?" he then asked. "That it was Tina Fey playing her on SNL?"

Hands went down and there was some nervous chatter.

She is damned good...

The N&R's Guilford County reporter Gerald Witt submits the following amusingly named mix-tape for your approval:

Reader Brad K. takes up the challenge of making his own Mix-Tape at Mixwit.

He says of making his tape, Vanishing Point 2.0: A Soundtrack for the Road:

"I had to go with second and third choices on some artists and some songs. In a couple cases, I even had songs deleted after I posted them in the mix. However, I was also pleasantly surprised to find songs I didn't think would be included at the site. So I guess I broke even."

It's true, the service isn't perfect -- it's powered by free streaming online music. But I think his mix -- which includes Motorhead, Joan Jett, Superchunk, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Drive By Truckers and Metallica -- came out rather bad ass.

Take a listen for yourself:

Think you can top it? Go make your own mix and send it to me at Joe.Killian@news-record.com.

I'll post the best ones here.
