Mike Gravel Will Hypnotize You
I've blogged before about how much I love fringe presidential candidates. They definitely make the best videos, from ones where they claim they are the only ones in their party qualified to run for president to ones where they make post-modernist statements about the future of political campaigning.
Now stone-faced Mike Gravel has an entry in the world of crazy videos -- one where he makes it clear he will stare deep into your soul and convince you to vote for him by throwing a rock in a lake. Got that?
Okay, so I don't get it either. But this feels a lot like my college English classes where inevitably the poem I didn't understand was the one most revered by scholars. So Mike Gravel is either crazy or the smartest man to run for president, ever.
Or maybe he just has too much time on his hands.

I don't get the splashing rock hitting the water....but he just about summed up what all the other candidates reps and dems have been saying NOTHING....give me a sec and I'll come up with the deep meaning of the ending....

Perhaps he is aiming to "make waves" without empty words; as opposed to the more prevelant tradition of a lot of talk and no action.
