Jason Pollock is a filmmaker who currently lives in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

He has just finished writing, producing, and directing his first film called, "The Youngest Candidate".

Recent winner of "Best Non- Fiction Film by a New Filmmaker", at The Traverse City Film Festival.

The film is about teenagers who ran for public office in America. Jason wants to shine a spotlight on this growing trend in our culture.

He will be touring the country with the film to get the youth vote out through election day 2008.

Prior to making this film, Jason was Michael Moore's assistant for almost 3 years. He worked with him from 2003-2006 and during that time aided Moore on his works such as "Dude Where's My Country", "Fahrenheit 9/11", and "Captain Mike Across America".

Pollock went to 60 cities in 30 days with Moore in 2004 to get the vote out and he plans to get out there again in 2008 with "The Youngest Candidate".

I was just reading an article in the New York Times called, "Campaigns Adjust Their Pace to Meet Short Season."

It spoke about how both presidential nominees are changing their traditional methods of campaigning because early voting this year is taking place in...

Jamie Lynn Spears VS. Bristol Palin

Posted September 9, 2008 | 02:45 PM (EST)


I, like many of you, cannot get enough of all this Sarah Palin controversy. I love hearing the Republicans trying to spin this one. It's funny to see them do flips to try and make this insane decision by McCain look right.

My favorite talking point from the Republicans...

How much can we really trust all of these presidential election polls?

Well, ever since the DNC ended I have read all of these news pieces from the media regarding the polls for the presidential election. It seems like everywhere you turn there is a new set of numbers on...

Every American Should See LOOSE CHANGE Today!

Posted May 10, 2006 | 01:07 AM (EST)


I recently watched the film LOOSE CHANGE and couldn't believe what I learned. I thought that I had read and heard everything about 9/11, but I was wrong. This film makes quite a case for an alternate view of what happened on September 11th, 2001.

I found two major media...

United 93 Shows The Total Breakdown Of Our Government

Posted May 5, 2006 | 10:52 PM (EST)


Last night I saw United 93 and I was totally blown away by it. At first, like many people I know, I felt this film was too soon. I also thought that this film was part of the right wing media machine and that it was put out there to...

Rush Limbaugh Is GUILTY

Posted April 30, 2006 | 09:04 PM (EST)


As most of you now know, Rush has spent some time at the police station. Addicts can't control themselves and he just can't seem to get off his precious pills.

However, through all of this the Drudge Report is running a headline with Rush's face that plainly says, 'Not Guilty.'...
