Here are a few videos to get your week started.

The first is an anti-congestion pricing spot by the Committee to Keep NYC Congestion Tax Free that's a study in a certain kind of minimalism. There's no dramatic music or personal story told straight to camera. Just shots of crowded subway stations, quotes from New York Times columnists and that all-too-familiar voice of the subway conductor making announcements. (The mayor is expected to discuss congestion pricing during a construction industry forum at the Ritz-Carlton at 1 p.m. today.)

And here, inspired by the Crush on Barack Obama video, are a couple of Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton-themed versions.
