Sarah Palin has become the victim of a prank phone call by a Canadian comedian posing as the French president.
While discussing a hunting trip together by a helicopter, the comedian said:

“I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun,”

Even after this exaggerated comment Sarah Palin didn’t recognized that this cannot be the french president until he introduced himself!
After telling the governer about the prank he finished by saying this sentence:

If one voice can change the world for Obama, a Viagra can change the world for McCain!

Listen to this hilarious prank call here.

I’m sure you’ve already heard about the documentary movie from Bill Maher “Religulous” which I guess is going to be a really good movie (click here to watch the trailer). I saw the interview that John Stewart did with Bill Maher on the daily show, I thought I have to share it here (First part of the interview, second part).

A follow up on the successful Amnesty International ad “signature”.

Also see the first part of this ad.

“It is not that John McCain doesn’t care what is going on in the lives of Americans, I think he doesn’t know. He defines middle class as someone making under $5 million a year…”
Obama said in his historic acceptance of the US presidential nomination.
