Great find, Shawn. I've been saying much the same thing in other forums for a while now. Anyone who thinks that political ads now are worse than EVER is just plain ignorant. Get thee to a library and curl up with a microfilm reader and some 18th and 19th century newspapers. You'll learn something and might even get kicked out of the library for laughing out loud.
