What if, hypothetically speaking, the two presidential candidates, by bizarre coincidence, bore the first names of the two Beatles who've left this mortal sphere? OK, now hold that thought.

What if? What if indeed. Enjoy, and watch the skies, -CV

Make no mistake, you're in Kerry country now. Still, us Democratic loyalist types are nothing if not powerfully attuned to the suffering of others. So, as the White House slowly starts to slip from out the dry-skinned, clammy-clawed grasp of the current administration, we ask: why not set aside two minutes and twenty seconds (remarkably enough -- the approximate playing time of this very featurette!) to show a little compassion for a certain soon to be sullen conservative? That is to say, a little sympathy...for the W.? Enjoy, and watch the skies, -CV
