I finally got around to doing the Rewind It Back feature as a video. Peep this hip-hop week in review in 0:60 seconds! Just like all my graphics, I’ve had no training when it comes to video editing so I’m always appreciative of feedback on stuff like this.

Rewind it Back 11/7 from Element 9 on Vimeo.

Let us compare campaign strategies down the home stretch.

Obama: 3 rallies in 3 states/day, even going into McCain’s home state of Arizona to attempt to put it in play.

McCain: making fun of his own campaign (or lack thereof), side by side with the woman who has been putting a new nail in the coffin almost every Saturday for about 6 weeks on SNL.

We’ll have to see which is the more effective strategy…TOMORROW!

Will Ferrell back as Bush!!! SNL back as AWESOME!!!

I’m still laughing about last night’s Presidential debate. I get a little bored during these things, so at one point I decided to check my Twitter feed- only to see about 30 updates reading “That One?”

I knew they were referring to the blunder McCain had just made in referring to Barack Obama by the aforementioned phrase, but I guess I didn’t interpret it the way a lot of people have- Diddy being a good example as seen in the video below.

Before we all get too worked up about “that one”, let’s point out what McCain likely did and did not mean by the unusual choice of words.

First, if no one else if going to say it, I will; McCain was not making a racist remark. I know when it comes to deciphering thoughts and feelings through the words people type online, a lot can be lost in translation, yet I couldn’t help but feel as though many thought the statement reeked with racial undertones. It reminds me of the trailer for Tropic Thunder where a black-faced Robert Downey Jr. questions the use of the term “you people”.

McCain could be a racist and his friends in the GOP sure have a great track record of ignoring the needs of minorities, but I don’t think McCain’s use of “that one” was a cognitive decision he made to avoid saying what may have really been on his mind.

What actually occurred when McCain uttered those now infamous two words was actually something we had already seen during last night’s debate…He forgot Obama’s name! McCain appeared to have been so wrapped up in the crushing blow he was attempting to deliver that by the time he was concluding the statement, he was so tangled in his own nonsense that he couldn’t conjure up his opponent’s name.

Now, that’s scary.

You almost have to give Sarah Palin a few points back after butchering a couple of hundred names during the VP debate, as it’s quite obvious that when it comes to names, the McCain camp isn’t putting too much stock into them. At least Palin remembered Obama’s name, it was just everything else she said that was incorrect.

The apparent senility McCain is displaying, accompanied by his agitated facial expressions and burnt-out appearance at the end of the debates- clearly illustrate what many have said from the beginning of his campaign- that one is too old to be President!

Apparently, he didn’t just stop at the Blackberry. Hit the banner to check out some his other work or go to www.stuffmccaininvented.com
