Mysterious Hard Freeze?

[Hart Larry]

Absolutely Tony, since this is not an exact type of url that mplayer would 
play, I must play or rip in xvfb running firefox.  And here it is
http://www.politico.com/multimedia/video/politicos-year-end-special.html
And here in the San Fernando Valley its been nearly 100 degrees-and since I 
actually `love the heat, I don't generally run air-conditioning unless I have 
company-and-they need it.
Thanks in advance
Hart
