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...

Campaign Attack Hoax
Here's a synopsis, from the article entitled Campaign Attack Hoax:
"Drudge fomented outrage in the conservative blogosphere yesterday when he posted an item about an attack in Pittsburgh where an African American mugger supposedly carved a “B” into 20-year-old Ashley Todd’s cheek after he noticed a John McCain bumper sticker on her car. Many feared the sudden injection of racial fears into the race, but it turns out that they need not to worry: The entire thing was a hoax. The supposed victim, who volunteers for McCain’s campaign, admitted to police today that she made it up after taking a polygraph test. Pittsburgh police say they will press charges against her."
Here's the link to that short news blurb: http://kdka.com/local/attack.McCain.Bloomfield.2.847628.html
and another, more in-depth (if maybe partisan) account:

And how did I first learn of this disgusting hoax? While trying to stamp out the many brush-fires of violent ignorance and intimations of a Race War that I unwittingly stumbled into when I chimed in to an online thread re: "Will White People Riot?" A purely rhetorical question raised simply to make an important point, imho. Here's a link to the thread; but I warn you, some of the vitriol that's spewed here is not for the faint of heart: http://www.theroot.com/id/48479/output/comments
