The Gathering

Four reasons I am in love with this Rick Barber ad:

1) It continues the fine tradition of Alabama asking to be carved out of this nation and set adrift. We could easily do it while we're cleaning up the Gulf.

2) Rick Barber is a pretty good actor. When this doesn't work out, which it probably won't, he needs to be on the Office as an intense friend of Andy Bernard.

3) How deferentially he still calls George Washington "Mr. President". Entirely appropriate.

4) It is directed exactly like The Patriot.
