If you can’t figure out what it is just by seeing the video, it’s a bomb that is hidden under the Vatican, or at least that’s what it’s supposed to look at.  It’s a viral ad for the upcoming movie Angels and Demons which is based on the best selling author Dan Brown’s book by the same name.  It is coming out May 15th, 2009 and is starring Tom Hanks, Ayelet Zurer, Ewan McGregor, Pierfrancesco Favino, and August Fredrik.

First things first, I would like to congratulate Barack Obama on winning the election.  Now, make sure you don’t screw up the country.

Now that the elections are done with, I’m going to working more on my campaign.  I plan on filing all the paperwork by January.  If you wish to contribute to my campaign, make your checks payable to Pixley for Virginia.  If you need my address, contact me privately and I’ll supply it to you.

I have been thinking recently about whether I should run indepentent or if I should join a third party, specifically the Reform Party.  Robert seems to think that I will hurt my chances by siding with a third party.  But by joining a party, I might get money from the party to pay for the campaign.

 On a different note, I have posted the rewritten chapters in the fiction section.
