The Funniest Political Campaign

Rarely, have I laughed as much as I have with the 2008 Presidential Campaign Satire, especially watching: JibJab’s Time For Campaignin’; The Daily Show’s Barack Obama: He Completes Us; and SNL’s Tina Fey in Gov. Palin and Katie Couric get real and adorable.

I’ve heard it said that the best comedy is rooted in the deepest pain. Perhaps, it is true.

As a country, we are feeling the pain resulting from years of poor choices – individually, as communities, and as a nation.

I won’t go into detail, this isn’t a political blog. Also, I don’t want to contribute to America’s divisiveness (not much anyway.)

In fact, I applaud Shaping Youth’s effort to promote “alignment of commitment” by teaching kids to be savvy consumers of political campaigns. I’m even planning to use many of the resources in a recent article, “Do You See Politicians As Puppets?” to inform my kids.

I’m just glad we can share a good laugh about this. As my buddy and I always say, even when things look bleak, “At least we don’t have hairy moles on our faces, and we don’t live with our mothers.”
