Hey Ya
Did you know that popular music can actually be pretty good? Or that dance tunes can be tweaked to find greater meaning?
"Hey Ya" by Outkast is in fact an example of this. That's right, the song that proclaims to women that they should "shake it like a polaroid picture" is actually a pretty good song, and not just to dance to. It only requires a little bit of tweaking. This tweaking is pretty basic. It's known in some circles as making the song acoustic.
That's it. Take away everything but the acoustic guitar and vocals and you've got yourself one nice song (and change up the notes a little bit). Don't believe me? Listen to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS2PRP89eqM
That's all I've got... sorry that it's nothing substantial after such a long wait

Better received?
I don't know what Brian means when he says that Obama's attack ads have been "better received", but I can see a something different between the Obama's and McCain's attack ads. There are fewer Obama attack ads. Maybe that's why they're "better received". On each campaigns official youtube sight, after looking through 7 pages of stuff from Obama, I had decided that I had searched enough. I had collected 15 attack ads. After going through the exhaustive search of McCain's campaigns site I came up with 12 attack ads. This might leave you scratching your head. Because, obviously, 15 is more than 12, and that means I found more ads on Obama's site. Well that is true. Except my exhaustive search of McCain's site was only of the first page... That's right, I looked through 7 pages of Obama's stuff and 1 page of McCain's. That means that Obama averages about 2 ads per page, while McCain averages 12, 6 times the amount of Obama. Better received or just less negative? You decide
BTW, both campaigns have ads that are false. Obama's attack on McCain for hurting jobs in Ohio is false, and every ad McCain has against Obama is false. Look it up at www.factcheck.org
