UNKNOWN CANADIAN FIDDLER ENDORSES OBAMA

Carnegie Hall, New York -- Last night at a benefit concert to raise awareness about Tibet, one of the performers, a Canadian fiddler, came out with his endorsement of Barak Obama for president. It's unknown how this will affect the fiddler vote in states across the south and central US, a hotbed of fiddling. While fiddlers in those areas love fiddling and fiddlers, they also hate Canada and Mexico; so an endorsement from north of the border might not have the same kind of impact as the Kennedy endorsement.

In related news, at least one member of the audience was disappointed when he discovered that a fiddle was really just like a violin and that it could actually be used to play slow, boring, sad songs as well as the traditional upbeat fiddle fodder.

And rainbows everywhere got a little brighter when, at one point, the fiddle and the harp were being played on the same stage at the same time. It's rumored that the fiddler's bow was actually made from unicorn tail hair.
