CNN is soliciting questions from the Internets for a couple of presidential debates to be held this summer. All the questions will come from user-submitted videos. Here’s the video explaining how it will work:
And here’s the question I came up with for the Democratic candidates:

Update 10:43 a.m. 6/15/2007: Gah, didn’t see the part of the guidelines where they wanted the question to be under 30 seconds. Wondering if I should record a shorter version.
Update 11:43 a.m. 6/15/2007: The question was answered for me, as I received a message on YouTube from YTDebates:
Currently your question does not meet the guidelines posted at www.youtube.com/debates. Please read these guidelines and adapt your question accordingly. Thanks!
I made my video without having read those. They’re right there in the description for the original CNN video, so I really have no one to blame but myself for that mistake. At least it wasn’t three and a half minutes long like this guy’s was.
An excellent question, but lacking scene cuts, demonstrative backgrounds, props, or perky breasts, I don’t know how well it’ll fare with YouTube!
This is true. But if you watch carefully around the 25-second mark, something that looks like a flying saucer whizzes by in the sky.
I wanna talk about Jimmy Hendrix. He was just on channel 30.
A channel I stopped giving my pittance to (or too, or two?)
when they dropped their entire Sunday morning and afternoon pundit stuff.
They took off McLaughlin. Before that they took off McLaughlin One on One, but I understood that that one might seem a bit geeky.
They took off “Too The Contrary”. The only show I’d ever seen were lib and con women went womo et womo, but still seemed to get an entire paragraph said before anyone lost it–holy smokes, it was a conversation.
I’ve complained to the stations. I’ve stopped giving my incredibly small contribution.
But I have not stopped wondering-where did my “shows” go?
The Sunday Funnies. Supposedly the serious news.
Yes?
Atlanta don’t get none no more?
I want my Washington Week In Review!
ps. I’m real sorry if I’m irrelevant.
Somebody said that.
But I’d really like to know stuff. And I promise not to tell.
Ok.
That’s a lie.
Wow. Football does that? Hmm.
