Flickr user KCIvey has pictures of former Saturday Night Live writer and funnyman Al Franken at a fundraiser where he draws freehand a map of the US from memory while answering questions about healthcare and other topics. For the skeptics, there's also a video on YouTube of him doing the same thing. I've always liked Al Franken, and I'd buy one of these in a heartbeat.

Michael Moore is telling people to vote for a Democrat in the election. He also says some bad things about Clinton and some nice things about Obama:

There are those who say Obama isn't ready, or he's voted wrong on this or that. But that's looking at the trees and not the forest. What we are witnessing is not just a candidate but a profound, massive public movement for change. My endorsement is more for Obama The Movement than it is for Obama the candidate.

That is not to take anything away from this exceptional man. But what's going on is bigger than him at this point, and that's a good thing for the country. Because, when he wins in November, that Obama Movement is going to have to stay alert and active. Corporate America is not going to give up their hold on our government just because we say so. President Obama is going to need a nation of millions to stand behind him.
