Sarah Palin in “Head of Skate” – Fun Little Spoof Trailer
A little ice-breaker after my fear-frozen last post: CollegeHumor.com also found noteworthy Matt Damon’s comments about Palin leading the US government and military. But they had fun with it, bless ‘em. Enjoy (and h/t to Crooks and Liars).
(And on an educational note, if any of you have student films that so creatively comment on history or current affairs, feel free to drop a link to them in the comment thread. I’d love to see students given the freedom to make this kind of commentary in the classroom.)
Very Presidential McCain “Aware of the Internet”
Just kill me. From the Telegraph:
Senator John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, has admitted that he never uses email and that his staff has to show him websites because he is only just “learning to get online myself”.
When asked if he went online himself, the Arizona senator responded: “They go on for me. I am learning to get online myself, and I will have that down fairly soon, getting on myself.” . . . .
“I don’t expect to be a great communicator, I don’t expect to set up my own blog, but I am becoming computer literate to the point where I can get the information that I need – including going to my daughter’s blog first, before anything else.”
And the poor guy who has to cover McCain’s gaffes? No whiz himself, as this attempt shows:
“John McCain is aware of the Internet. This is a man who has a very long history of understanding on a range of issues.”
You can’t make this stuff up. He makes Bush look geeky for using “the Google.”
