Even if you don't watch Saturday Night Live (and for the most part I typically find 92% of the show to be unwatchable), I'm sure you've seen the Tina Fey/Amy Poehler Palin/Clinton kick-off to the new season by now. But just in case, here's a link to it.
But over the weekend, there was apparently another YouTube vid craze. I have seen this on too many websites to give the hat tip to only one... but I finally got around to watching it this morning... and it is quite delightful.
It is November 3, 2008 and at Obama Headquarters the opening notes of Act 1 closer, "One Day More" from Les Miserables, begin to twinkle (which always gives me goose-bumps) and this fictional Obama staff sing (ok, lip synch) the song of hope and love and promise of a brighter tomorrow... even McCain/Palin look-alikes make an appearance as the evil Thenadiers to attempt to comically squash the fun.
Pretty much political and gay marriage made in heaven... plus the Marius guy is pretty darn adorable ala Jim Halpert/John Krasinki.
I'm so glad you wrote this post. I've seen it on a couple of websites and couldn't, for the life of me remember whete I've heard that song. I kinda thought it was Les Mis, but I wasn't sure.
Are you referring to the second guy who sings as adorable? I agree with you on that point. Didn't that kid also do ads for Tic-Tacks and some kind of samdwich or Hot Pocket?
I thought he was kinda cute then but needed to lose a bit of weight. Is he a regular player on SNL. - I rarely watch nore than 5 minutes a month of that show. I don't think they're as funny as THEY think they are. However, I've felt that way for about a decade now.

Jim Halpert is awesome. I just ordered a sweet Jim Halpert shirt from www.PantherTees.com. They have tons of stuff from The Office. They said not to tell anyone, but here is a 10% discount code, pts10 (it is case sensitive, so copy and paste it). Enjoy!
