That guy, he's my favorite narrator. He talks fast too.

That was great! Reminded me of a very similar video put out before the start of the most recent season of Battlestar Galactica.

That was awesome, and it reminded me of one of the highlights of "The Rules of Attraction".

My favorite was the THE SOPRANOS one, though it didn't hold a candle to the clip set to the cover of Paint It Black.

Sad thing is, for political junkies, it's been 19 months. Misery.

The Republicans should just run ads with footage of Obama saying crap like "the fierce urgency of now!" They'll win for sure. They can also run clips of all those Indonesians and Kenyans who cheered his victory in the primaries - that's sure to endear him to the American people.

Yes, fielding, because of course everyone in America is afraid of KENYANS!

'Cause no one can run as fast as KENYANS!

And all the evil in the world is done by KENYANS!

So no one should trust Obama because he's with the KENYANS!

And we should ship him back to KENYA!

Drink some more Powerthirst and sound the alarm! You're UNCOMFORTABLY XENOPHOBIC!

The Democrats should just run ads with footage of John McCain saying crap like, "I’m very honored and humbled to have the opportunity to receive the endorsement of the President of the United States, a man who I have great admiration, respect and affection [for)."

They'll win for sure.

"She was highly regarded and well-connected, an illustrious, mature woman recognized and admired for her commitment, her talent, her tenacity. Granted, she was somewhat mercurial, a woman who played different roles. But she was generous with her colleagues and a tireless, consummate performer at the peak of her powers.

Along came a young admirer, fresh-faced and ambitious, new to the scene but with enormous appeal, beguiling and winning over the older woman's supporters. Ostensibly eager, at first, to learn the ropes from her and to emulate her, the neophyte quickly found the cracks in her armour and exploited them, undermining her, weakening her position and, sensing that she could be toppled, strategizing successfully to surpass her, to bring her down, to take on her role.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama?

No. Margo Channing and Eve Harrington."

Not to be a web-link monkey, but I know some of you will find the comparison amusing.

I'm terribly relieved that the Dem race is finally over. Now I don't have to be constantly barraged with sly horseshit like this:

You have to assume he's dead or dying. If he were fine, there would be no motivation to withhold a shot of him crossing the room to his table and no motivation to end abruptly.

Ambiguous does not equal random.
