It looks like Senator Hillary Clinton is gearing up for her war on video games.
Sources tell me that Clinton has been asking around for volunteers for a new anti-violence in video games initiative.
Specifically, Clinton is trolling for someone how feels passionate about extreme violence in video games.
One of Clinton's brainbursts is to try and add a special tax to video games, sorta like what a lot of states do for cigarettes. The profits from the tax would then go to a child advocacy program.
The "concerned parent" would need to attend a press conference to make a short statement and should be able to deal with annoying reporters asking questions like: Did Sen. Clinton send out a memo asking for someone like you to talk for her at a press conference?
Just a word of warning gamers, this isn't going away. Clinton has her heart set on making violence in video games a key component of her platform. Taxes on video games are going to be discussed.
