The final ads hit the air, the House picture comes into focus, and the Bush Administration can't get the Justice Department to do what it wants.

CAMPAIGN UPDATE knows that election news and weird jokes go together like a popped-collar meathead and a vacant-eyed blonde. Created by Mark Ganek and Brett Erlich, Campaign Update strives to be the dumbest smart show on television.

    • Voter fraud of this nature looks like smears and a willingness to disenfranchize some voters, imo. Who in their right mind would think an election worker would let some one vote as Mickey Mouse. It is another smoking gun. The Acorn people in Las Vegas flagged those ballots. It is the law they turn them into the election office. It was just gross that the police came in and picked up their computers and files. That tells you volumes. If you look at where Acorn was targeted, it is "swing" or toss up states--states where a few votes might well determine the election. In Wisconsin I saw where potential voting purging might be as great as 20%. The entire system needs revamped. And it is sick and wrong to hear of voters in Florida standing in line for 8-10 hours. People are passionate in this election and GOP's are watching a mandate.

    • I want to know whether the alleged "voter fraud" in Ohio that the Justice Department declined to investigate was harmless registration forms for nonexistent voters, or the serious issue of eligible voters being prevented from voting.

      You know, ever since the GOP stared hitting hard on the non-issue of ACORN registrations, I've been waiting for them to use that as leverage to suppress low-income voters. (Not that registering fake voters is a non-issue, but ACORN caught the fakes during the screening process, yeah?) Every single election, you read about widespread voter disenfranchisement... weeks after the election is over... and I can only imagine that the big guns would come out for a pivotal election poised to put dems in control.

      The discussion between former Republican Congressman Bob Barr, who is now Libertarian, Independent Ralph Nader and Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin was more commiseration than debate.

      This early comment from Barr summed up the objectives of all three.

      Barr: “Our Target in this election is to point out to the American people the damage that is being done to our constitution, our economy, our family life our education in this country by the monopoly status quo parties.”

      And the candidates found other common ground. Nader and Baldwin both want to scap NAFTA and other trade agreements. Barr said he supports deals with other countries, but only when those agreements can be modified in American courts. And like many of his former conservative colleagues in Congress, Barr wants to get rid of federal regulations that set minimum mileage standards for vehicles.

      Barr and Baldwin think individuals should be able to opt out of Social Security and Medicare, but Nader balked at the notion of dismantling the social safety nets.

      Nader: “What would America’s elderly be doing now in this collapsing retirement system, looted and drained by these Wall Street crooks, if they didn’t have a social security check?”

      All three men said Wall Street bankers and investment brokers should be prosecuted for their roles in the financial crisis, which they called corporate fraud,

      Yeah, that was just a little bizarre. I mean the podium was obviously meant to tip over to reveal Brett in that weird loincloth that wouldn't have passed the muster of any "Project Runway" challenge. Wasn't he wearing clean, flesh-toned boxers? Or *maybe* he doesn't normally wear any underwear! =P~

    • FOTFS (Fainting on the Floor Swooning)! But I'm upset that there were no more re-airs of this pod later in the day so I could record it, all because that disgusting, sickening Hell House took up four hours of broadcast time. Argggh!

      If anyone knows of a cheap (read: free) way of capturing this pod using Windows XP so that, ultimately, Nero 7 can burn it onto DVD, please email me! I want my Everbody ever-preserved on disc!!

    • All I jnow is we a getting rid of one of the biggest pimples on the ass of America George Dumb Ya. I hope he and his crew rots in hell. I hope whoever wins this race (and I hopee it is Obama) they can fix all the fuck ups of Dumb Ya and his henchmen. Dumb Ya and his crew belong in prison and I pray some way he ends up there.
      Obama for president, not everyone just one, Obama.

    • I think the Obama campaign has missed a real opportunity in comparing McCain to Dick Cheney, the real culprit, and near twin. Meeeh. Meeeeeh.

    • Is Brett sequeing into his post-election reality? That wouldn't be bad - cartoon (like) adventure segments about 3 minutes long. Everbody! Current would once again be innovating...
