Gorillas Fight for McCain

Two posts in one day- wow, I feel productive. Anyways, I made a video mashup using greenscreen (well, technically bluescreen, but it's the same concept) technology, featuring John McCain at the RNC with a pair of battling gorillas in the background. I found it amusing- Enjoy!

MCCAIN'S NOT WEARING A FLAG LAPEL? OH NOES!

And yet I don't really care. Instead, lets focus on the debate. The debate just finished; and I think Obama won, although I can't provide an expert opinion. He was sticking to his points, and his arguments were strong. McCain's done better than I would have suspected; still, I can see why he tried to wriggle out of the debate. Frankly, I wouldn't want to be in a debate with Obama either.

I have a few bones to pick with McCain. He says he'll freeze all spending except for defense spending. But doesn't he realize that the Iraq War is exactly what's got us in all this debt? The Bush administration has spent 600 billion there, and spend approximately 10 billion dollars a month to this day. If we're going to cut spending, that would be a good place to cut it from.

Also, McCain says that "we've" created a government that is too large and spends too much. Well Senator, by "we" do you mean your good friend Bush? If so, one would think that you might think twice about agreeing with him ninety percent of the time.

In other news, I did some phonebanking today. I called up some voters in Virginia, but to no avail. I got one devout Hillary supporter who wasn't planning on voting- I tried to appeal to her reason by explaining that McCain disagreed with Hillary on the issues, but she simply argued that she "didn't like Republicans, didn't like Obama, wasn't voting." The rest either weren't there, were a wrong number, or hung up on me as soon as they found out it was a political call. Ah well...

And now for something completely different: I made a doodle of John McCain. His eyes are too big, and he has too much hair in the picture, but it's not a bad likeness if I do say so myself.
