12. That is weird

That poster was so specific - and so wrong. And true to form, you flayed 'em with a few direct facts.
Boom.

Your mentioning that Obama stocked the Executive with Clintonites resonates with me. A sorta friend of ours, a Harvard Law School prof, was slated to get a high position in the Obama administration. He lost weight so he'd look good on TV, and was preparing to move to DC. Then, suddenly, in an instant, all posts were filled by the Clinton posse which he's not a member of (although he philosophically is). He was pretty unhappy. I enjoy mentioning Elizabeth Warren when we see him - her good fortune and political philosophy drive him nuts.

Now that the mainstream media is being eclipsed by the Internet, I wonder if we'll start seeing more successful low-budget guerrilla political campaigns. I might be totally wrong, but I think it can be done.
