wow, check this out...

I'm not a partisan, my friends, and my politics are about as muddled as my eyesight these days, but this is pure political genius on the part of whoever put it together. Remember the old Apple 1984 commercial?

I don't get this. Maybe I need to watch it when I can turn on the sound.

it's 1984, the end of the cold war, and the american company apple is championing individualism (via the mass consumption of their new computer, conveniently) against the mindless communists of the soviet Union

now fast forward to 2008 and change the characters, Obama=US, and Hillary=USSR according to whoever made the commercial.

get it norwegian?

Thanks for clearing that up, BobE. Now I don't have to listen to it with the sound. By the way, you are an ass for not coming here on my birthday. I ought to kick you in the nuts or...come visit you. I can't decide which one would be more pain-inflictious. And yes, I did just make up another cool word and you need to stop being envious of my great imaginary diction.
