Inspirational messages

I think one of the things that characterizes liberals is that they question their own assumptions and beliefs. This is a very positive thing, but it leads to uncertainty and insecurity, especially since the other side can sit there so smugly eating shit out of a can of lies. (How can they stand the smell of their own bullshit?) I know I've been really anxious about the election since the conventions and judging from the chatter on my friends list a lot of you are anxious too.

The Obama campaign sends me daily emails, and a couple of days ago they sent this one, this video really made me feel better about the election. The video is in the lower left hand corner of a page asking for donations.

Then I just saw this on my friends list (thanks [livejournal.com profile] feathered_frog)
After the first 30 seconds or so, I was sure this was going to be a plea to NOT vote for the Republicans. It might as well be.



This doesn't have anything to do with politics (not directly) but the video reminded me of it, and I think it's hilarious and you might too:
Evolutionists Flock To Darwin-Shaped Wall Stain


And if you can't get enough of how ludicrous Sarah Palin is, and didn't watch the video in my last post (for example because it was friends protected) watch it now. I was laughing so hard at the joke about the copy machine, I had to pause the video to catch my breath. There's some swearing in this, just so you know:



So what else are you guys finding inspiring? How do you fight the sinking feeling that the scumbags are going to lie and cheat their way to the White House?

The car stereo line got me. :)

And thanks for the first link. It cheered me up.

I meant to leave this for you last week, knowing how near dear both issues are to you:

You know what? The first time I saw that article, I thought it was real. I googled "pit bull anti-defamation league" to see how I could join. It wasn't until just now (when I saw the other bogus headlines) that I realized it was a joke. I need the ol' clue by four upside the head.

This cheered me up

Inspiring?

Not politics.

Aww, don't say that. I can't stand the thoughts of getting to know McCain and Palin!
