It's your civic duty.

This guy has remixed the debates to give us a better sense of the talking points they resort to, time and time again.

(Thank you, BoingBoing, for pointing to these guys.)

More here.

First, here's the original beer commercial:



Now, here's the election year reunion (same guys!):

OK, I've got the vice presidential debate paused so I can share a few first thoughts.

Right at the beginning, Sarah Palin entered the debate arena, shook hands with Joe Biden, and loudly asked, "Can I call you Joe?" Someone apparently told her to stick with the "just us folks" approach.

She's already used the phrase "hockey moms have to unite."

Did she really use the phrase "never again" in regard to the economic situation we're in right now? Did she *really* want to evoke thoughts of the Holocaust?

She actually said, "darn right!" She's so folksy; I think I'll vote for her, 'cuz she's just like me!

My favorite quote so far, in response to Biden's prompting her for an on-topic response: "I may not answer the questions the way you or the moderator want, but I'm going to talk straight."

UPDATE

She pronounces "nuclear" just like W: "nook-yular." [shiver]

I've had enough of guys like Bush and McCain...



But I'm not yet done enjoying this sort of thing: a faux trailer for a Disney-esque movie about Sarah Palin.

Plenty of cursing in here -- definitely NSFW. But if you're Jewish and you're planning on voting for Barack Obama -- and if you want to know what you can do to make a difference (and if you like Sarah Silverman) -- check this out.

You know what? Even if you're not Jewish, if you like Sarah Silverman you should check it out. And even if you don't really care for Sarah Silverman, what the hell -- it's not very long.



The Great Schlep

More details here.

First, my assurance: I have nothing to do with this site, no way, no how. But I *love* what they're doing -- whoever you are, there's a button for you.

See them all!

Time Magazine says that when Sarah Palin took office as mayor, she approached the town librarian and asked how to go about banning books from the town library.

(But if I don't mention it, how would you know? And if not now, when?)

Those of you who aren't regular readers may not be aware that I've got Hebrew Barack Obama shirts and stuff I'm selling to support his candidacy for the President of the United States.


I've just sent off a nice check to the campaign, as part of my commitment to send 10% of all profits from sales -- thank you for your support! I'll be continuing to send in contributions, so it's not to late to get your shirt and support your candidate!
