... and now a fine pic to break-up all of this monotonous text I've been posting of late:

"Hey Luntz, you're an idiot!"

OK -- I just noticed an article which proclaimed the following bullshit:

"Nearly half of Americans (49%) believe that the federal government should regulate the Internet the same way it does radio and television, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national survey."

Nearby comments directed me to the following YouTube clip:

(the clip, appropropriately enough, is from Penn & Teller's fantastic gig on Showtime: "Bullsh!t" -- a really great program)

Oh! BTW-IMHO & AFAIK: Luntz had nothing at all to do with that atrocious Rasmussen survey and is, actually, far from an idiot, but ... he has probably done more to empower them than anyone else in history.

The Cheapo Challenge

I was reading this post from Politico and think I've come up with an interesting challenge for Mr. McCain:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0608/11242.html

Here's the challenge: McCain needs to come up with a campaign that's spread via a really cheap commercial. Perhaps not even on primetime network TV. The sole message of this campaign should be oriented towards reminding folks how much money Barack is throwing into his campaign commercials. The idea would be to evoke John McCain's message in the viewer everytime (s)he sees a glossy ad for Barack.

Not sure precisely how one would do this, but I'm gonna think about it some. Not that I have any great love of McCain, but I do enjoy a challenge.
