It's a retelling of the McCain/Palin saga, told Dr. Seuss style. And as a child who once loved her Schoolhouse Rock, I'd recommend it highly. I've watched it 3x already... that's how much it made me laugh out loud.

If you love it as much as I did, cast your vote on The Atlantic magazine's site, which is taking a poll on the top campaign videos: http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/10/taking-back-t-8.html
Support the Arts. And the indie talent out there. Because believe me, it's out there...

Don't Call 911 If You're Stuck in Traffic
Amazing. I used to work in Show Biz, so I've had encounters with the children or relatives of Stars who love to ride on those sparkly and famous coattails. The line usually goes something like: Do you know who my father/brother/son is?
It seems even the brothers of Presidential candidates are not above such behavior. Allegedly.
A man named Joe McCain (and John has a brother named Joe) called 911 to complain about the 15 minute traffic jam he had to endure. Here's a transcript of that call:
Operator: 911 state your emergency
Caller: It's not an emergency but do you know why on one side at the damn drawbridge of 95 traffic is stopped for 15 minutes and yet traffic's coming the other way?
Operator: Sir, are you calling 911 to complain about traffic?
(Pause)
Caller: "(Expletive) you." (caller hangs up)
So. The 911 operator called him back, presumably to inform him that 911 was for actual emergencies--you know, of the life-threatening variety. But the caller's voicemail picked up instead:
"Hi this is Joe McCain I can't take this message now because I'm involved in a very (inaudible) important political project... I hope on Nov. 4th we have elected John."
Think it ended there? Nope. The angry Joe McCain called 911. Again!
Caller: Somebody gave me this riot act about the violation of police.
Operator: Did you just call 911 in reference to this?
Caller: Yeah.
Operator: 911 is to be used for emergencies only, not just because you're sitting in traffic.
See why I rail at politicians who act like "celebrities?" If they act like celebrities, then their friends & family start acting like celebrities, and so on and so on...
To date, the McCain campaign has refused to comment.

Al-Qaeda "Endorses" McCain?
Straight from The Washington Post:
" 'Al-Qaeda will have to support McCain in the coming election,' said a commentary posted Monday on the extremist Web site al-Hesbah, which is closely linked to the terrorist group. It said the Arizona Republican would continue the 'failing march of his predecessor,' President Bush."
But, you know, this is Al-Qaeda we're talking about here... so take it with a grain of salt. They love to capitalize on Fear... please keep that in mind.
And do weigh this "endorsement" against Colin Powell's endorsement of Obama.
So partisan of me, I know. But to borrow (steal) the words of Woody Allen, "I'm a bigot. But I'm for the Left!"
