Okay, anyone know the story behind this? I haven't watched much television lately:

Nonetheless, gave me a smile.

This is a reference to a commercial that the George W. Bush campaign was running, called "Wolves." You can see the commercial and read facts about it here. It's basically a re-tread of Ronald Reagan's old commercial "There's a bear in the woods," where the analogy is being made that terrorists are wolves and of course, John Kerry will only throw you to them. A classic fear-mongering commercial.

Wolf Packs for Truth is a parody of "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth," the group of Vietnam vets who ran commercials claiming that John Kerry was a traitor in Vietnam. In a parody-twist, these wolves are claiming that they're setting the record straight.

A very funny parody.

Ah, I see - yeah, with that attitude toward wolves, you can tell W is "the environmental president," can't you?

I got the Swifties reference, but the pack leader seemed to reference somethign else.

Thanks for the link, Chris! I hadn't seen it. My housemates and I were, and are, in need of a laugh. ;-P

DJ Artemis (the main grl DJ at Grind) gave me a great idea. I'm thinking of giving ACLU memberships as Christmas gifts.


Reading your blogs (all fifty something of them between the two of you) and not commenting much because I'm lame,

Cool! Yeah, I know how hard it is to catch up on LJ after being away for a while, and I do the same thing of dropping a post to let 'em know I'm still reading!

Hugs,
