This non-partisan group is running a fake senate campaign in KY in order to highlight corruption in the government. I just learned of it and it seems like a great idea, though I'm still looking into it. Some of the Gil Fulbright candidate videos are hilarious! It's worth a look and it may be a way to get our politicians back on the right track.

Scroll down on the home page and look at some of the advisors to the project...everyone from Tea Party strategists to OWS to Russell Simmons. Pretty diverse group. Maybe everyone's getting fed up with the DC BS.
