This awesome video features the political model (and likely the future fake husband of) Christine O'Donnell. Actually, this is probably the model for all of the crop of teajadis and wannabe teajadis out there:

Turn Off Fox

The Color of Change have set themselves a new goal -- getting people to ask businesses and others with public TVs to encourage businesses and other public places to Turn Off Fox.
