On NPR they had a piece about young Jewish voters going to Florida for "The Great Schlep" to convince their grandparents to vote for Obama.
Wasn't that a Sarah Silverman bit?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thank goodness, my convoluted meeting worked out -- and without a 7:30 am meeting time! Now I can really go on vacation.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Wasn't that a Sarah Silverman bit?
Yeah, but I guess it's a real phenomenon too. They followed some guy visiting his grandparents. I loved the accents and the fussing over him: "Isn't he a smart boy?" Made me miss my grandmother and all the big family occasions.

Dude. At this point, I think it's inevitable that someone is going to walk behind me or lead a tour group past my desk when there is porn on my monitor. I feel like I ought to put up a sign or warn people somehow. I guess I just don't want people to think I'm a pervert for the wrong reasons.
There are so many other and much more valid reasons to consider me a pervert!

Remember when you wanted to work for Playboy, shrift?
Considering how much porn was on the office walls, I really wouldn't have worried about anyone seeing it on my monitor.

That's awesome! I wonder how my grandparents would be reacting to this election.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Heh. Hee! Also, hah!
YouTube to McCain: You Made Your DMCA Bed, Lie in It
The McCain campaign on Monday fired off a letter to YouTube complaining that the company had acted too quickly to take down McCain's videos in response to copyright infringement notices. McCain campaign general counsel Trevor Potter argued that several of the removed ads, which had used excerpts of television footage, fall under the four-factor doctrine of fair-use, and shouldn't have been removed.
But citing the DMCA, a controversial copyright law that McCain voted to approve a decade ago, Levine pointed out that YouTube risks being sued itself if it doesn't respond promptly to takedown notices.

The Great Schlep is a real campaign and Silverman did the bit for them. Hysterical.
