Arrg, you're right. When the news decides to cover people who actually matter (not celebrities and kidnapping victims), what do they do? They cover Hillary and Obama competing! Let's see what they're saying about each other! I like your word "thinky". “Also, it only brought attention to the election because the news is lazy and enjoys conflict instead of issues.”

Joem - That Hillary 1984 video was lame-tastic. I'd be more impressed if the Obamaphile who made it parodied a commercial that hasn't been spoofed a gazillion times. My vote would be for that Quizno's one with the Asian woman with the annoying laugh. Also, it only brought attention to the election because the news is lazy and enjoys conflict instead of issues.

Yellow-y boxes make it look nice. I like how in a lot of the polls they ask people who they will vote for, Hillary or Barack, simply ignoring the other candidates. This is a real good strip.

That's why I prefer to just make shit up and avoid the commentary. I don't remember '96 being covered as early as late '94. But I was just a wee teenage dorklet at the time.
