for West Wing fans: the best political ad ever

Bridget Mary McCormack is running for the Michigan Supreme Court. Bridget Mary McCormack's sister is Mary McCormack, an actress who used to be on the West Wing. Bridget asked Mary for a little help in making a video that would a) publicize her candidacy, and b) remind voters to vote for the non-partisan slots on the ballot (e.g., state supreme court judges) in addition to the partisan slots (e.g., President of the USA).

The result is here. Why can't we get more political ads like this?

Yes, it was - v true to the whole thing while being quite funny and tongue-in-cheek. :-)

And, as for Tumblr, well, it's busier than LJ and it's better for posting images on, but LJ is much better for blogging and journaling and having communities and actually talking to people. And Lj-cuts and other things. I don't understand anyone making it their primary fannish home unless they're really only interested in images. I'm expecting everyone to come back any day soon, starved of community interaction and actual conversation.

But it is a more sensible place to post old screencaps, and there is a lot of pretty. :-)
