It has come to this: time for a clip show

I wanted to write something about Obama announcing he's thinking about running for president, but I realized a few things. One, maybe its a little to early to be thinking about an election two years from now when there's going to be an election in two weeks (!). I think some of you have heard my "I'm sick of being told what we need to do to win instead of the guy just f--- doing it" rant about Obama, but after reading this I realized maybe I'm wrong about the guy. And then after reading this maybe I'm right.

More importantly though, and number two, I'm too busy right now with my real life to be posting to a blog! By busy I mean watching documentaries about heroin users and exotic dancers in Sheffield, trying to pull something together for a conference in fabulous Dallas, and beating EV in Sudoku (at a Moderate level!). Anyway, lots of kids and tenured professors are talking about this thing called YouTube (its like "the Google"), so here's some ads for the upcoming race people have been talking about.

First there's the HILAROUS ad in the Tennessee Senate race. Man, is this funny! Just so you know, Harold Ford, Jr. is A BLACK MAN!!!

It would have saved the Corker campaign lots of money if he just put of a screen saying: "The boy sleeps with white woman!" Oh wait, I'm sorry, this ad isn't trying to drop that in the minds of viewers at all. It’s more about the joke Democrats think terrorist need privacy and want Canada to fight North Korea. That makes more sense.

This ad is an internet ad from the Ned Lamont campaign comparing Nixon with Lieberman. It is a bit long at over two minutes, but seriously, this will BLOW YOUR MIND!

By the way, Iraq has nothing to with Vietnam, unless its about those liberal wimps pussing out!

I was looking for this next one on YouTube, but I saw this comprehensive clip from the MSNBC show Countdown with Keith Olbermann up on Crooks and Liars (maybe the best site on the internets you will find from the google). It’s about the Michael J. Fox ad backing a Democratic Senate candidate in Missouri because of her support for stem cell research. You probably have heard about this by now because the humanitarian Rush Limbaugh claimed Fox was "faking" the effects of Parkinson’s, or purposely didn't take his medication, to look the way he does in the ad. The fact Fox's movements are actually caused BY his medication, that's just the liberal media at it again. Well, the Olbermann clip has the visual to go along with Limbaugh saying Fox is faking by wiggling his fat ass around and an interesting analysis of the whole debacle afterwards. Its a good clip, the most amazing part being that the Republican candidate is running an anti-stem cell research ad that has athletes and celebrities in it, including the wife from Everyone Loves Raymond and Kurt Warner. Hey Kurt, thanks for your views on stem cell research, how about you tell Jesus to help you not fumble for five minutes? Or at least get him to convince you your career is over, either one is fine.

Wow, this is long, again. Maybe it’s wrong to use YouTube in this way, and I'm breaking some kind of blogging etiquette. Maybe. Anyway, here's the last clip. It’s not about politics, its viral advertising from EA for its new FIFA 2007 game. This one with Wayne Rooney is the best one. It's not "I met Harold Ford at the Playboy mansion and I'm white!" funny, but its still pretty good.
