In every four-year term there is a chosen one. He alone will face the American public, the United Nations, and the forces of darkness. He is the President.


This Sunday, October 24th, Joss Whedon will be making a live conference call as a fundraiser for Kerry/Edwards. It's great to know Joss is one of the good guys in the real world as well.

We're invited to organize or attend fundraising parties and participate in the conference call.




"I plan to be incredibly funny and insightful, or mention some people who have been in the past. We can talk about politics, we can talk about Buffy, we can talk about car maintenence (though I'll mostly just listen at that point) and I will once and for all tell you all what IS going on with the X-Men. And then we can talk about politics some more."

1. Bout damn time! I am still mad at Joss though for keeping his

mouth shut for the last 4 years.

Better late than never.

2. As Joss's officially endorsed High Priest

Myefforts thus far in Philadelphia have failed, and I lack a residence that can fit more than a few people and unfortunately the Church of Joss has not yet managed a tax-exempt house of worship(hey, if the Republicans can do it.... :) ), but if anyone in the area is willing to host the call, Amy Acker and J. August Richards will also be on the call, as well as (from what I hear) the possibility of Amber Benson, Michelle Trachtenberg, and MAYBE more!

The power of Joss compells you!

5. There's nothing Republican about Buffy. Know how you can tell?

No guns.

6. Except that the lead, Sarah Michelle Gellar

is a BIG Bush supporter.

9. Oh yeah. Forgot about that. Too bad. You would have hoped that

some of what she was doing on screen would have sunk in.
