Mixed Martial Arts works like this: Two fighters are locked into an octagon-shaped cage. They have 3 to 5 rounds to either knock out their opponent or put him into some sort of move where he basically gives up. The sport's biggest league, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, is drawing huge audiences on cable TV. And lots of young fighters are lining up for their shot in the cage. Independent Producer Mhari Saito visited one aspiring "ultimate fighter" in Cleveland, and got the moves put on her.

How many images of Barack Obama and John McCain have we each seen in the last month? How many sound bites have we heard from them? Hundreds? Thousands? Politics aside, this has got to do some strange things to our brains. It has to affect our sub-conscious on some basic level. So we want to know, Are you dreaming about the candidates? Has Obama or McCain or Biden or Palin crept into your R.E.M. State? Maybe in a toga? Or scuba gear?
Send us stories of your recent political dreams.
