With all the Presidential coverage, I sometimes forget about the local races. Because I actually get all of my television watching done via the net, I don’t see a lot of the local ads.

I cam across this via DailyKos. What an amazing ad for New Mexico’s Tom Udall.

Obama goes after what was probably McCain’s best line of the night.

Totally not safe to listen to at work, or with young children around.



Side note... does anyone else think that Heroes will never get that first season love back? I’m just not feeling it this season.

Someone asked me to re-post the Muppets comparison I created for my friend Phillip. Here you go.Original post here.

Once again, Joe.My.God inspires a post here.



A post on Joe’s blog inspired the entire comparison post.

Thanks to Jake at NoFo for pointing this out. I have been laughing all morning at this one.

I am soooo buying Gwen Ifill’s book now.

Some people have found this ad to be offensive, and say it doesn’t take the idea of the economic crisis seriously. I think that whoever came up with it should be given a raise. Sometimes humor is the only thing that can get you through something like this.

Does this Rachel Maddow need an assistant? Sign me up?


Side Note:
Despite the fact it is a collaboration with NBC and Microsoft (ugh), I think it is very cool that MSNBC has these videos up almost as soon as the show is done airing.

A friend who has a private blog hit me with this meme today.

“Take a picture of your desk and post it.”

I think it is kinda silly, but okay. If you want to see a screen grab of what was on my computer, click here.

Before you ask, the answer to the question is, “Yes, my pencil holder is a decapitated Cabbage Patch Kid head.” (The idea comes from my grandpa, who did it first.)

John Stewart goes after congress.

I love this woman. It’s a long clip, but she does a great job of explaining why the GOP Leadership is imploding.
