Bryan Simon put up Vote for Bungie, a political song we can all get behind. It’s only tangentially Halo-related, but it’s funny, if only for the thought of voting for Shishka for public office. If you’d rather listen than watch, the mp3 is available from us (2.8 mb). Thanks to The Handmade Hero for the…
