And the result is creepy mid-90's computer graphics.

Did they tap the guys who made the "Mind's Eye" videos for this?

Black Denshoku please and thank you!

I'm voting Obama because McCain has too much "Old-man" stigma for me to feel comfortable with him in power and Palin is a poor VP choice. I think he's a little too fixated on winning a war, rather than solving problems. And while I don't think Obama is the ultimate solution, I think he's a step in the right direction when it comes to redefining the world perception of the US. And none of that has to do with race. It has to do with keeping a cool head, being in tune with the modern world, and having valid priorities. McCain doesn't show leadership to me, he shows determinism. It's the same kind of self-centered drive that makes me dislike Hillary Clinton. They seem to be in the race to prove a point, not to better the nation.

And to those who keep calling out Obama on "socialism" and "redistributing the wealth", please realize that his plan is not a Robin Hood scheme to pilfer from the rich and give to the poor. It's a restructuring of taxation, so that those who have more, pay more, and those who have less, pay less. It's not socialist. It's a sliding scale. There IS a difference and it's only fair to pay an appropriate amount. I mean who feels the pinch more? The person who makes a half a million a year, and has to pay a few more thousand towards taxes, or the person who makes a few thousand a year, and has to work a second job to pay taxes? I'm not going to feel much pity for the top 5% and their hardship of paying a little bit more. I think they can swing it.

There's some painfully bad photoshoppery when you follow that link...

At least some good things come of this kind of crisis. Pampered mallrat soccer moms get a small reality check. Welcome to our world. If you want real tragedy, try the Zimbabwe recession.

It's an old-school port-a-potty. The top swivels up like a toilet lid, you crap inside and put the lid back down. You get a bunch of those when you have a hoe-down so there isn't a line at the outhouse. And when it fills up you just toss it back into the woods and let nature take care of it.

Obama. I prefered him to McCain, though I would've voted for McCain if Hillary had gotten the nomination (I'm not down with the dynasty of Bushes and Clintons). But with Palin as McCains choice, I'm a staunch Obama supporter. She's a scary choice as VP, and the fact that McCain actually picked her as his running mate is equally frightening. It truly puts a black mark on his decision making capabilities.
