Be sure to watch both videos. The first one made me cry, the second one made me laugh. Thanks to 23/6
On Sunday, the McCain campaign released a list of 30 “prominent democrats and independents” who have joined “Citizens for McCain”. His website claims these are leaders and activists, but you have to wonder if anyone in his campaign actually checked the list before they released it.

This brilliant video is aimed at politicians who claim to be “hard on drugs”:

You would think, but you would be wrong. A local TV station in Louisiana has found […]
