The 'Draft Brad' movement suffers a setback
Doug Ross brought to my attention the "fact," documented in this "TV news" clip , that there's a growing movement out there to draft Yours Truly as an alternative to McBama. Watch it; you'll get a laugh out of it. (I tried to imbed the video, but couldn't find the code.)
But as pleasing as that was to my ego, imagine my shock and horror when I learned that an almost identical movement has arisen to back my good friend and fellow Energy Party idea man Samuel Tenenbaum! No wonder Samuel keeps bugging me to read that book he gave me! He wants me too busy to notice that he's trying to steal away my delegates!

Uh...it appears you linked to a video on your computer, not on the web. Perhaps Senator McCain can help you with this... ;-)

Considering everything you've done for McClatchy's bottom line, Mr. Warthen, I think they should draft you into the Peace Corps and send you to the North Pole to do a test run on your gasoline tax.
Your gas tax might stop the terrorists on the northern route dead in their tracks.
Up there, you couldn't help but be cool, and you could just go with the floe.
And you could have your own single-payer health-care plan.

I would vote for you(L) and Jim DeMint(R), the yin(L) & yang(R) Solution Party.
Similar to a Hillary/yin(D) and Romney/yang(R) ticket. These people could both get over themselves on the blind party allegiance impasse long enough to take care of business.

Not to categorize you with Hillary. Whoa! The angst of that brainstorming/free association thought.

Drat! Another setback! The Tenenbaum campaign must be sabotaging my snazzy Web media!
Try the link again; I think I have it fixed now...

Then again, I'd also vote for him:

Is it good news or bad news that oil prices are dropping? Let's hope complacency doesn't creep back in to the American motorist psyche. Al Gore's proposal is spot on for energy. It may be unfeasible to generate 100% or our electricity from non-carbon sources by 2020. However, with a crash effort like this one:

we can certainly come close. Wind and solar. That's our future. (Brad can be Secretary of Energy in an Obama administration.

Hmm, maybe not, but we could draft you to replace Sanford as a possible VP for McCain. That sounds like a much more acceptable combination to me!
