Don't Believe Everything You Read, John McCain Edition, Part 1 (Salon)
The assignment is simple: We are going to write letters to the editor and we are allowed to make up whatever we want -- as long as it adds to the campaign. After today we are supposed to use our free moments at home to create a flow of fictional fan mail for McCain. "Your letters," says Phil Tuchman, "will be sent to our campaign offices in battle states. Ohio. Pennsylvania. Virginia. New Hampshire. There we'll place them in local newspapers."
—Dutch journalist Margriet Oostveen, writing in Salon.com ("I ghost-wrote letters to the editor for the McCain campaign") about her experience as a paid letter-to-the-editor writer for the John McCain campaign.

Jeremy Redleaf, JUNEAU Sarah Palin parody movie director: Mr. Media Interview
Apparently there is a big national election campaign underway in the United States featuring an old man, a black man, a bald man and a woman who shoots moose.
Who knew?
Anyway, amidst all the noise for John McCain and Sarah Palin, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Jeremy Redleaf has created a short, musical film parody called Juneau. It sounds just like that other movie of the same name with a different spelling. And instead of a pregnant teen named "Juno," it revolves around a pregnant teen named "Bristol."
You can watch the movie here. Then come back and listen to the interview below!

Political Strategery with Stephen Colbert and Spider-Man

MOVIEFONE: There was a rumor going around that Will Smith would be cast as Captain America. Any truth to that?Click HERE to Keep Reading!
STAN LEE: I would love us to do something with Will Smith, but I don't know that he's Captain America. That would be a long shot. It would be a real leap to make Captain America black ... then again, I don't know. It might be a really smart thing. If Barack Obama becomes President who knows ... suddenly a lot of our characters will be black!
