Chris Myers Used Taxpayer Dollars To Send Self Into Space

Since today is the election, I guess this is the last day I can run this ad, which I finally remembered to upload. As you can see, Chris Myers, famous astronaut, is totally a bad choice for New Jersey.

This Ad Has Everything

Well, hello, Lance Rogers! Sorry I didn’t notice your month-old ad until now, but I must say: It is awesome. Yep, those heroin users, always doing lots of heroin and then escaping into nothingness and not doing anything for hours and getting DUIs in their morphine dreams.

Rogers’ campaign also registered DaylinLeach.com, which features more about this totally awesome Daylin Leach amendment. A quick recap as I understand it: If one gets pulled over and are drug tested, any amount of an illegal drug in your system can be used as evidence of a DUI. Most everything but marijuana exits the body amazingly quickly, so the law usually catches recreational pot smokers who may or may not be stoned. It has nothing to do with impairment or making the roads safer.

And nobody cares about that, especially not politicians. Well Daylin Leach actually cared about that. And tried to fix it! He somehow actually thought this amendment would be an easy sell to the State Senate, too, which might mean he actually cares about personal freedoms and maybe even how much less safe the War on Drugs makes us and… oh, man, I got it!

Official Philadelphia Will Do Endorsement: Daylin Leach for State House. Do you really want a domain squatter in the state legislature?

Update: Also, Daylin Leach’s actual campaign site has this awesome list at the end of his “accomplishments” page:

I am now more aware of mitochondrial disease than ever! That’s mainly because of Tampa Bay Rays’ outfielder Rocco Baldelli, I think, but I guess we can give ol’ Daylin a little extra credit, too.

Points off, though, for getting both words in “familial dysautonomia” incorrect.

John Adler’s Expensive TV Ad

John Adler is apparently some dude running for Congress in New Jersey. Here, he shows how is opponent is similar to George W. Bush, in an ad with quite high production values.

I saw it on Jeopardy! last night. It was also apparently filmed in his kitchen.

And You Thought You Were Free Of This

Ha ha, New Jersey has a primary coming up, too, and it’s not until the first Tuesday in June. Apparently the state only moved up its presidential primary, and other primaries — including U.S. Congressman Rob Andrews’s challenge of current U.S. Sen. Frank “Secaucus Junction” Lautenberg — aren’t for over a month away. This ad shows that Congressman Andrews specifically killed like 300 million Iraqis. I can’t wait for more of it!

Hillary Clinton Won’t Ever Leave Us Alone

And you thought you could escape the election during a simple Phillies-Mets game, at least in between the commercial breaks. No go: Hillary Clinton’s supporters parked right behind the Phillies dugout — which meant that after the cameras realized there were Clinton signs there, we never saw another shot of a left-handed batter from that angle again. Thanks for ruining the game, Hillary!

No sporting arena is safe, it seems: Tonight, there’s a rally with Bill, Hillary and Chelsea at The Palestra. Hillary was naturally on Q102 this morning as well.

Obama To Make All Gas Free

Hey, let’s post some more political ads. Look, it’s some union PAC (or whatever) sponsoring an ad where people tell you gas prices are high and that Barack Obama will magically make them lower. So it’s essentially the same thing as that other Barack Obama ad, except this one is from an independent group.

Yes, he doesn’t take money from oil companies! We know that already! Now will you people just tell us if he hates America or not?

Obama, Clinton Ads Now Getting Meticulous

The debate wasn’t the only pointless thing yesterday. We’ve now entered into the stretch of meta-advertisements for the candidates; I saw this Clinton ad almost back-to-back with this Obama ad yesterday afternoon — I cut out an ad for Mr. Clean or something that was in between them — and, what do you know, it’s a Clinton ad attacking that formerly ubiquitous Obama ad, and then… an Obama ad attacking that Clinton ad you just saw.

Is it Tuesday already?

Hit McCain, Win An iPod And The Presidency!

Chrissmari spotted this Punch the monkey-like ad on Philly.com for none other than Barack Obama! Apparently, he is the only candidate who can lower gas prices, get us a cheap x10 spy camera and stop our computers from broadcasting an IP address.

Real Change, With Low Carbs

Who the hell knew Bob Casey could talk? The guy who let Rick Santorum simply defeat himself in the 2006 election apparently can talk, and he’s telling you to vote for Barack Obama. Why? Not just change, but real change. Really!

Turns Out No Candidate Can Spell

Yesterday, it was Hillary Clinton. Today, John McCain. At least the worst spelled incorrectly in Clinton’s ad was not her first name.
