This random chain of coolness has been brought to you by the Internet

A-list blog Eschaton links to a video of "Republican-style bipartisan negotiation and compromise".

That machinima video is based on a Creative-Commons-licensed song by Jonathan Coulton and made via World of Warcraft. It's one of a series of movies avilable at SpiffWorld.

Johnathan Coulton has been friends with John Hodgman since college. Hodgman is a writer and is the author of The Areas of My Expertise.

Hodgman is also the PC from the "I'm a Mac/I'm a PC" commercials.

And he has a blog.

Just how cool is the Internet?
