In keeping with the light-hearted election sites, I thought I'd share one that I've been trying to get people to visit (hopefully some of you have already heard about it). Back in the 80's Zippo lighters made a lighter with an elephant design and one with a donkey design. Now they've re-made a limited number of them and created a site (www.zippo.com) where you can vote for your favorite and show your political support. When you vote you're entered to win which ever you chose. Zippo will announce the winner before the actual election, but I can tell you that as of now, the elephant is way ahead. I hope that you'll all go there to vote and pass it along to your friends.

Just happened to catch it on Leno last night. It was pretty good. John Edwards certainly has the gay liberal vote. Leno also had a sketch where he interviewed Bush and then Bush did an interview of John Kerry. That also was pretty funny. Made me miss Leno's Saddam skits.

I was disappointed in it. All this time and they couldn't come up with something better than "in DC" and it was so short. "This land" was great - geez, all this time and they came up with something flat. Not worth the hype.
