Daily Show Video Archives: Mid-term Election Rock! |
|
Oh dear god, I'd forgotten about this old Daily Show video: a parody of the old Schoolhouse Rock cartoons, on the topic of mid-term elections.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FcZJqqA2AIWhat a hoot. And a good way to relieve election stress.

3. Well, the end result, anyway. |

Unfortunately, much of what the video details *is* true, and remain obstacles to participation and effective representation... with gerrymandering chief among them.
The Democrats, should they take the House and Senate, should take the opportunity to enact laws that make voting more trustworthy, fair and tranparent (i.e. auditable) -- rather than flipping gerrymandered districts to the opposite extreme. (Or maybe we hold-off on playing nice until after the 2008 elections.)
