And yes, I’m not alone in being turned off by the Obama “dipdive” videos, Michael Goldfarb over at The Weekly Standard weighs in with some interesting observations. Goldfarb’s right about “L.

Also, a reader passed on this terrific video about Obama, set to Cake’s “Building a Religion.” Really well done, and as the person who passed it on noted, it’s “a tonic for that dipdive video gag reflex.”
