How McCain plans to resolve Iraq...

McCain's video game...

::smacks forehead::

Yes...this 1980's based video game will certainly help convince young voters that you're hip... I'm not even sure I was alive when the video game this one is based on was invented...

I was going to add the game to this entry so you could see it...but...no joke...the code they provided crashed the rest of my blog. No joke...I tried twice...

So instead - you'll have to click here if you'd like to see it.

McCain reaches out to youth - God help us

This McCain campaign video - an effort to reach out to youth - is...sad...funny...but sad...

Here's the take The Daily Show had on this video:

OMG! Big John Cornyn

You have my word...this is not a spoof...I know it may feel and look like one...but really...it's not a spoof...

Just in case you're still not sure if it's a spoof check this out.

My face displayed a complete look of shock, bewilderment, confusion, humor and horror all at the same time....

Seriously...I don't know Texas politics that well...but I just can't imagine that this will work out well for him...if I was on his campaign staff....I would resign...fast...

Obama Pride

Check out this video about Obama and LGBT issues.

Tribute to Senator Robert Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Some anniversaries regarding both Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy passed recently. I posted a brief blog about MLK, but never got around to posted one for RFK.

I respect and appreciate both of these men a great deal. I came across this famous video today. It's one of my favorite for many reasons. It's such an ironic and symbolic overlap of these two significant leaders. It's so amazing that this speech was made by RFK about MLK only months before his own assassination and less than a decade after JFK's assassination.

I learned even more about this speech on NPR this past year and have grown to appreciate it even more. Two things in particular..

1. RFK's son points out that because the neighborhood where RFK gave this speech was considered to be so dangerous that some of the police escort separated him from a chunk of his staff. It happens that he was separated from the staff which had the original draft for this speech. He didn't have it with him when he gave the speech. So much if this is from last minute notes, his memory and his heart. The poem that he recites at the end of the speech was from his memory - it was one of his favorite poems.

2. News of MLK's death resulted in riots across the USA. Almost every major city had at least some size riot. The city that this speech was given in, Indianapolis - which is not exactly known for it's racial peacefulness at that time - was one of the only major cities that didn't have major violence break out.

This isn't my favorite video for this speech - I don't like all of the photos - but it has a good and complete version of the audio.


As an added bonus I've also included this amazing speech given by Robert F. Kennedy on April 5, 1968...

The only Reagan speech I liked...

Okay - it's probably not a surprise to discover that I'm not exactly one of the biggest fans of Ronald Reagan (or The Power Rangers for that matter - but that's another story).

However, there is one speech that he delivered which I do appreciate. Something we were watching on TV today made me think of it and I've decided to share it with you... It somewhat pains me that it was Reagan who delivered it - but I suppose that makes it somehow even more significant.

In case you are somehow not familiar with what he's talking about in his speech...here's a clip to help remind you...

The Procrastinator

This was the funniest thing I've seen on The Daily Show in a long time...perhaps the funniest thing I've seen on television in a long time...my stomach hurt I was laughing so hard at times...particularly after the video where Bush talks about his belief on getting climate initiatives passed by the end of his term...



This press conference clip is perhaps the funniest thing I've seen Bush do lately...

Meet The Press' Special Tribute to Tim Russert

A great video about someone I truly respected a great deal...

Do you have a flag?

This is one of my absolute favorite moments in comedy history...

Obama on Colbert

Looking forward to his interview on The Daily Show tomorrow... =-)

Bush to Pope - "Awesome speech"

Seriously...why can't January come sooner?

Obama's response to elitism attacks

Personally...I think the attacks are a bit silly... It seems a little desperate on the Clinton campaign's part. I can understand it coming from McCain...we're use to Republicans being eager to attack anything...but Clinton? That's just low and again..desperate...

Here's Obama's ad responding to the issue...




Jon Stewart's response was by far the most entertaining....

McCain Girls: Raining McCain

I'm...uhm...afraid...

King on The History Channel

I saw this commercial on TV and was truly impressed with it!



I'm something of a history geek - so I'm really looking forward to this show airing!

Ah politics...

One of my favorite moments from Creating Change

Kwame Kilpatrick's real address to the people about his scandal...

Oh Kwame...what mess will you get yourself into next? I feel like Detroit is trying to follow some of the success of DC...I just wish we didn't also have to follow in the footsteps of their former scandalous mayor...

Thanks to Kevin for passing this along.
