More absurd political videos

Brian and I were checking the results for the South Carolina primary and saw that a man named Mike Gravel got something like 240 votes. Naturally, we wanted to know: who is Mike Gravel? We went to the first place we could think of to get reliable political information– You Tube. This is what we found:

I am pretty positive it’s a riff off of John Lennon’s “Give Peace a Chance,” hence another example of a Lennon tune being appropriated for the purposes of a campaign, albeit a much better one than Huckabee’s minstrels’ version of “Help” (see below).  I’m sort of into this guy.I watched this video earlier with Nicholas and Derya and You Tube offered us “related videos.”  We ended up watching a slideshow of McCain photos over the backdrop of a wave in which the crest is entirely made up of unicorns.  We also watched a video of George Bush being interviewed by Matt Lauer on the subject of torture, leading us all to feel like it really doesn’t matter who the next president is.  Things can only get better for us.  You know when you’re watching a TV show and the bad guy is just so incredibly bad and you’re watching him week after week do all this terrible shit and every week you just can’t take it anymore because you really can’t wait to see the bad guy get his? Well, that’s how I feel about this president.  I just can’t wait.  And it infuriates me that he may never really get it the way he deserves it.  He makes me feel positively merciless, vengeful, irate…I just want to egg his house and key his car and put sugar in his gas tank and put ex-lax in his coffee and put a flaming bag of poop on his doorstep all before 7 am…and…and…and…a ton of other things that I don’t dare say online because I don’t want to be secretly tapped by the powers that be due to the grossness of the Patriot Act and sent to a “secret site” where they can torture me regardless of any international laws.   AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

In other news, we’re eating homemade Indian food over here. Hooray.
