Impossible Really Is Nothing

"That is what happened Tuesday night and that is why we awake this morning to a different country. The struggle for equal rights is far from over, but we start afresh now from a whole new baseline. Let every child and every citizen and every new immigrant know that from this day forward everything really is possible in America...... Obama will always be our first black president. But can he be one of our few great presidents? He is going to have his chance because our greatest presidents are those who assumed the office at some of our darkest hours and at the bottom of some of our deepest holes...... None of this will be easy. But my gut tells me that of all the changes that will be ushered in by an Obama presidency, breaking with our racial past may turn out to be the least of them. There is just so much work to be done. The Civil War is over. Let reconstruction begin."

The Other Side

In one month, the video below has gotten nearly 10 million hits on YouTube. It has been nearly that entire time without a proper comeback, so long so that we had actually written and planned to shoot one ourselves. Someone beat us to it, and did a better job than we ever could have.

The original:



The comeback:



Clearly McCain doesn't own the military vote. Let's get this one 10 million hits, too.

Quote of The Week, Kalman - 9/14/08

Good designers (and writers and artists) make trouble.

-Tibor Kalman

Today, several of my classmates and I were given the real-world opportunity of a lifetime by some of the most famous and powerful people in the advertising industry.

The assignment: Get Barack Obama into the White House.

The assignment: change and shake up the very foundation that traditional American politics is based on. It's to get a man into office that will, years from now, when children that aren't even born yet open their textbooks to this era, hopefully prove that 2008 was the crossroads of time for this country and for this world, and that by changing how we choose, we made the right choice.

The assignment is, in essence, to make trouble.
