I absolutely loved the video of "MC Hawking".I must also say that the video of McCain congratulating Obama..was quite a hit...heh,heh,heh...ole Johns pretty good at that heh? What interested me most was a comment left on Johns vid..by someone named "Judy R" about the coincidence of Obama's nomination acceptance on the same anniversary date as the famous Dr.King speech.I actually never thought of that before.
