Have you heard of YouTuber rx2008? He makes videos out of political footage and surprisingly appropriate songs, and the Bush mashup he did last year is one of the most-viewed political videos on YouTube:
Apparently rx2008 is a fan of Mike Gravel, because he approached Gravel's staffers at a Las Vegas dinner in November and said he wanted to make a video with him. At first they demured - despite his exclusion from the debates, Gravel is running for president and can't be making YouTube spots with just anyone. But then rx2008 said he was the guy behind "Sunday Bloody Sunday," a staffer favorite, and Gravel agreed to be filmed. Here is the "weird, wonderful" result:
Isn't it catchy? Now I just have to figure out how to get it on my ipod.
In other weird, wonderful news, My Brother Is Dead is now a sermon!
J's dad is a Methodist minister in a small Texas town, and he emailed to ask if he could quote a bit of my blog in his Sunday sermon. And, even though the last "sermon" I attended was a Unitarian meditation on peace my mother brought us to in middle school, I have to say it's a pretty cool feeling to know that, last Sunday morning, 103 people is a north Texas church were thinking about Kyle and me. The world is endlessly surprising.
Go here to read the sermon, and here to visit David's blog.

.... you and your writing are wonderfully and endlessly surprising, as well... : )
In spite of my bias against most organized religion and my inability to grok theists, I want to say that David strikes me as a thoroughly wonderful human being, thoughtful and profound and deeply caring. I am very glad we are all getting to know him through your blog and his, and I thank him for growing such a terrific son.
