For the most part, I think pro-Obama posts on this blog would be preaching to the choir. However, I think this is a really effective viral ad that is picking up steam. In fact, I hear they’re trying to create a broadcast quality version.

Time to mobilize, folks.

I know a lot of people react to Saturday Night Live with vague dismissiveness: oh, is that still on? I haven’t really watched it since [Tina Fey/Will Ferrell/Adam Sandler/Dana Carvey/Eddie Murphy/Bill Murray/Chevy Chase] left. So while you can find breathless, fawning recaps of Gossip Girl episodes all around the internets, I haven’t seen much in the way from episode-to-episode Saturday Night Live coverage (even the wonderful Onion AV Club has pointedly only covered the recent full-season DVD releases from the first few seasons, treating the current show with a passing shrug usually afforded to NCIS or The Tonight Show). But someone out there must be watching the show besides my comedy-nerd friends, because it’s routinely the highest rated thing on Saturday nights — an admittedly minor achievement, though still noteworthy given that it airs at 11:30, when people are supposed to be either out partying or falling asleep.
