Brilliant... and sad.

Poor George Bush. So simple so lost. And he's taking the rest of us down with him.

This is the time of year when many of us watch "It's A Wonderful Life". I think about Jimmy Stewart's parallel universe of Pottersville, where one rich bastard controlled everything and made life miserable for the rest, and how that could have been the reality if only a few small things had gone different. And then I look at Nobel Prize winner Al Gore, contrast him to what we ended up with, and remember those 500-odd votes in Florida way back when. At least the movie had a happy ending.

It's even worse than that, RainMan - Kerry actually won Florida in 2000. Unfortunately, it took 6 months to get an accurate re-count, and by then the damage was done.

is there a place to get the words to this? I feel ike I missed alot. Incredible editing, though.

Brilliant, yes.

I question Obama in at 1:13...wth

it was brilliant
thanks for sharing Dan

I'm not adding much, but feel like I've gotta chime in and just say, wow. Wow. Fucking brilliant. Makes me optimistic in a weird way, that we've got creative folks out there that can do this. Sure, all they are doing is using their creativity to post videos to YouTube, but still...

COMMENT DELETED: OFF TOPIC

We remove comments that are off topic, threatening, or commercial in nature, and we do not allow sock-puppetry (impersonating someone else)—or any kind of puppetry, for that matter. We never censor comments based on ideology.

pretty much sums it up.

I get the feeling that some people don't realize it's based on an REM song.

You can view the lyrics on any lyrics site, like this one.

I don't know if the Bush version includes every word of the original song.

I prefer Sunday, Bloody Sunday. This one feels too forced with the sped up dialogue

Is someone going to banhammer the Preening Troll already?

What I want to know is how you can do different fonts and highlighted boxes in the comment section of slog.

The concept was tired, the editing was okay, the video completely petered out 2/3 of the way through. The saving grace was the chorus. Brilliant this was not -- which reinforces the reason the Stranger's "Genius Awards" are such a fucking joke.

Hey #14 - It's called HTML

Brave Republican Troll is on a smear campaign against Dan Savage today. He doesn't care about the children dying in Iraq. All he cares about is the fact that Savage supported the war at some point in the past.

My disgust cannot be overstated. When all you care about is smearing people who disagree with you while overlooking the suffering and death we are causing - and even supporting it - you are a lousy human being.

My apologies for the repeat posting. I'm hunting Troll. Big, fat, blubbering Republican Troll.

Thanks for the grins.
I'm going to miss this internet when they take it away from us!

the vid is not bad, although I agree it is a bit too fast, and a bit tired in concept. Lots of work went into it, and I can respect that. I particularly like the representation of 'Americans' as dancing, oblivious party-people.
If more people had well thought out political opinions --those which only can be developed through thoughtful reading and extensive conversation-- we might not be in the pickle we're in with Georgie Porgie.
Oh well. At least the drugs are still pretty good for the time being, right?
