2. And Neil Young already has (what I consider) the first campaign video

With his After the Garden video at http://neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/ The video is available at the link in both QuickTime and Windows Media Player formats.

I asked a man on the street what he thought about the war in IRAQ. He said "Won't need no shadow man runnin' the government. Won't need no stinkin' war." He looked at me, checking me out. "Won't need no haircut! Won't need no shoe shine after the garden is gone! What will people say after the garden is gone? What will people do after the garden?" He just kept lookin' at me like I was crazy askin' about the war. He had bigger things on his mind. He looked like he was a hippie at one time. I don't really know what it was about him that made me think that, but he sure had an intense way about him.

He wasn't finished with me. He had been walking away but he turned and looked right at me. "Won't need no strongman walkin' through the night to live a weak man's day!" What the hell was he talking about? "Won't need no purple haze. Won't need no sunshine after the garden is gone!" That was it. He was definitely a hippie who had taken acid in the 60s. I pondered this. Did this mean he knew more or less than I did? Was his opinion tainted by taking drugs in the 60s? Had he been an environmentalist before it was cool? I remembered George Bush senior saying that Al Gore was crazy. Something about "chicken little." Look at them now, Al Gore is right and Bush was and still is wrong on global warming. Al Gore was worried about saving the planet and Bush was worried about saving cash. I was getting pissed. The man on the street just stood there looking at me going through my thought process. "What will people know after the garden is gone?" he asked. "What will people do after the garden?"

I played it last night for a friend and he broke down crying. After the video he looked at me and said, "starting Nov. 8th I'm working on Gore for 2008."

Al Gore stumps for O’Malley and Cardin on the eve of the election
Former vice president lauds Democrats’ records at Lesiure World event

Former vice president Al Gore, stumping for Democrats in one of the state’s most populous precincts, Leisure World near Silver Spring, offered the residents a civics lesson Monday to put the war in Iraq and the delayed response to Hurricane Katrina in perspective.

‘‘The reason why we’ve gotten into this mess is only partly because of President Bush and Vice President Cheney,” he said.

An ‘‘obsequious, rubber stamp” legislative branch is not doing its oversight job, Gore said.
