the internet.." It must be true.. "..500 Thousand Protestors are paid for by the liberal Dems".

It's amazing they let Roy Wood Jr get up on stage and give them something to think about.. Not that it would change a single mind.

joke from his stand up routine of late:

"You know how people been talking about getting rid of the confederate flag..." (Wild applause) "Now hold on. First that flag is an important symbol... see, if you take away the confederate flag, how am I supposed to know who the dangerous white people are?"


that's my favorite for the moment.

I think this singer on Jimmy Kimmel is FAR more effective with her GOTV message.

toward a synergy. This one's a gentle kick in the derriere that uses humor to point out passivity in the face of evil, something some of their classes probably discussed at times. Plus, they'e adolescents, so they'e anxious to be cool and mature as their age group understands it.

This ad is, of course, talking to both liberals and those conservatives who lean liberal on social issues, it's not meant for all. The song apparently talks to females regardless of orientation. People this age are already oriented liberal and conservative in various degrees and combinations, even if they don't vote yet. In any case, some should get it and that's what all ads strive for.
