Is the whole presidential campaign boring you like it is me? I mean I am personally counting the days until the end of Bush's term but the current candidates have been unbearably lackluster as of yet, which has done nothing to my sense of hope. I guess I should come out and inform you that I am a fairly liberal minded person but probably should be classified more as a moderate. I am also a registered Independent. However, I grew up in an entirely Republican family...who I now describe as fascist Republicans. Hah, it doesn't make them very happy. :)
Alright now that that is over with...so I was checking the political news on Yahoo! tonight found an interesting story titled "Pencil Puppet Politics." The article was on a guy named James Kotecki, a recent Georgetown graduate, political junkie, and former Congressional page that is basically at the same place I am at regarding the 2008 campaign...bored and pissed off. (Check out the article by going to http://potw.news.yahoo.com/ and search out "James Kotecki.") It is a pretty decent read and includes some funny clips.
The Economist describes James as "probably the world's foremost expert on YouTube videos posted by presidential candidates. He aggregates and responds to them here. He has, hilariously, been inviting candidates for interviews in his dorm room."
You have to check out his blog, which includes a great number of posts regarding his various appearances in media ranging from radio to television to print to the internet. Check out a few clips from his YouTube page below:
