I have never been as enthusiastic and hopeful about a candidate for President of the Unites States as I am for Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. I urge every American to familiarize herself or himself with the inspiring career and positions of Senator Sanders.
He is absolutely brilliant on issue after issue, and I expect that although different voters may have some different priorities, almost everyone can find many things about Bernie which excite and energize them.
Please do your nation and yourself a favor by taking a look at: https://berniesanders.com/about/
Please take a minute to watch this great video which is an enjoyable introduction to this outstanding candidate:
Please donate and volunteer if you can!
For me, his call to return to an economics that has worked in the past (in fact, the dominant economic policies of the 20th century), that help grow the middle-class while also energetically helping people join the middle class is most important. For over three decades, the median income of Americans has been declining [!]. More than half of our hard workers are making LESS than they would have in the 20th century. Only Bernie has the progressive policies to change the direction of that trajectory in favor of the American people. No other candidate is seriously talking about changing the policies that have been in place which benefit only the top 0.1% richest of the rich, while making everyone else poorer.
Bernie Sanders is also the only candidate with the credibility to begin to tackle the emergency of climate change. This crisis alone is enough reason for anyone who cares about the next generation to do everything they can to get Bernie elected President.
His consistent commitment to LGBTQO rights and civil rights for all people of color, and staunch work against homophobia and racism has been a hallmark of his career and his goals as future President. He is one of only a few members of Congress to oppose the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, and this is only one highlight of his consistent alliance with the LGBTQO community.
Please consider giving your full support to Bernie Sanders for the future of all Americans, and especially for the next generation who absolutely need us to do the right thing in this election.
Thanks for reading my passionate endorsement of Bernie Sanders, and please do yourself a favor and learn what you can to make a good decision for our nation in the coming presidential election.

Bare Feet Acura Commercial - Chariot
This cool Acura commercial named "Chariot" caught my eye during the "First Look" segment at the movie theater. It features a cute Gulliver, tied up by Lilliputians with one bare foot, the other sandaled, being offered an Acura RDX for a Chariot:
The sole shot sure looks great on the big screen too! :)

Gevalia: Johan has your feet
[Scroll down for the video at bottom of post!!!]
I find two things noteworthy regarding the new Gevalia commercial I saw on MSNBC (also airing on ABC).
First and most obviously, it is hot, exciting, and brave: The attractive and seductive male Swedish/Scandinavian narrator calls the coffee his cup of "Johan," and says that it will spend time rubbing your feet, discussing your feelings. At the end of the commercial he says Joe may have your back, but Johan has your feet!
Second, although this has clearly been airing for at least three days, no Google search on any of the combinations of the words appear to produce any mention of this Gevalia ad. Twitter to the rescue there!

I am hoping to find the video for this commercial online -- I have messaged @Gevalia on twitter asking about it.
Found it! See below ...
UPDATES:
PRIORITY Update I - April 10, 17:38 - Johan Gevalia Actor's name is ... : Jon Prescott
We've been getting lots of questions! "Who is johan in the gevalia commercial?" ... "Who plays johan in the gevalia commercials?" ... "What is the name of the Johan gevalia commercial guy?"
The Adventures of Lunki and Sika is reporting:
Update 1 - Feb 15, 2012 11:57 - Found a picture from the ad campaign, which I'm sure Gevalia wouldn't mind me reproducing:

Update 2 - Feb 15, 2012 14:40 - Found the online video for the ad!!! It's called "Motorcade":
Update 3 - Apr 9, 2012 15:47 - Lots of people are asking, and I have contacted the ad agency, Taxi, to find out who is the actor who plays Johan and what his name is. I hope to be able to post more info here soon!!!
Meanwhile, since the post is so popular, I thought I would embed a couple additional Johan/Gevalia video ads for your pleasure:
