SIGNS OF HOPE & CHANGE

.
I hope that everyone has registered and is ready to VOTE next month. It is exciting to see so many young people getting involved, I guess maybe that's what happens in the face of an economic emergency. And the economy doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of the problems facing the country (energy/infrastructure/war/climate/etc.) It kind of hits you in the face and let's you know that inaction is quite possibly the biggest mistake you can make. Look where it has landed us thus far.

Next to the Palin/Couric super uncomfortable and ridiculous interview, this is still my most favorite thing I've seen in support of Obama. Especially since I can rock my 'Fake Empire' t-shirt around Chicago, and people actually know what it means.





Just for shits&giggles, here is the real video for The National's 'Fake Empire.' Mostly because iloveit, and it still has a super strong political message. Their show at Duck Room is still high on my list of favorite shows ever. Things have changed so much since then...and I am slowly learning to 'not try to figure out everything at once.'




Lastly, a video of Skoff (aforementioned artist that hides free art around the city of Chicago) painting Barack in front of Buckingham Fountain. The best part is the video right around 1:20....I hope he found the girl in the white hat.
