Cartoon Clip Debuts on Leno, The creators of the infamous video clip 'This
Land Is Your Land' are at it again.

AMERICANS LOVE to watch Donald Rumsfeld folk dance.

In a sign of how the entertainment industry pecking order has been disrupted,
the sequel to an underground Internet video clip is getting its premiere on
Jay Leno tonight.

The original clip, which has been downloaded 65 million times, features George
Bush and John Kerry trading insults to the tune of the famous Woody Guthrie
folk song "This Land Is Your Land." Donald Rumsfeld, John Edwards and others
politicos frolic in the background.

Like any hit film, the clip has spawned a sequel-but this one won't be dependent
on e-mail forwards for dis- tribution. The animated short debuting on "The Tonight
Show" stars Messrs. Bush and Kerry, but also features cameos by Dan Rather,
James McGreevey, and John Ashcroft. Highlights include a spicy dance number
performed by the members of the axis of evil.

Gregg and Evan Spiridelli, the 30-something brothers who dreamed up both cartoons
in the Santa Monica, Calif., warehouse of their tiny Web company, say the new
clip will once again be a nonpartisan cartoon. Following its premiere (11:35
p.m. EDT, NBC) the short, titled "It's Good to Be in D.C.,"will be available
free at JibJab.com and AtomFilms.com.

HAHA

Hopefully they won't sued for fair use (I mean "copyright infringement") again.

I'm looking forward to it

Our friend Gregg of JibJab sent the note this morning about the Waoll St. Journal mention:

Gregg says:
Cool! I hadn't seen that. Thanks for forwarding! Unfortunately, we won't
be on the show tonight... just our cartoon! We'll be on a bunch of media
tomorrow starting with the Today Show between 7:30 and 8:00 AM. Hope all is
well with you!

what do you think of voting for Mr. Badnarik (for President of the USA) from Libertarian Party? His website is http://www.badnarik.org .

Cheerz,
Critto

Critto...I've been talking about voting for Badnarik, since I used to be involved in computers and lived in Austin and he is involved in computers and lives in Austin, but I fear that a vote for him now is one less vote AGAINST Bush, in the sense of another lost vote that would help Kerry defeat Bush. I know that in the past I talked about voting your conscience, lost vote be damned, but to me, the kind of damage Bush could do in a second term is so scary, I probably will vote for old Stone Face.

I knew you'd see the light, code. I just hope the American public does too.

After today's news--no weapons of mass destruction--what are we doing in Iraq?
What a waste.

i say, and let the Secret Service "SS" be damned...they should behead Bush. NOT innocent people! extremist am i...extreme in that i am sickened by bush and his policy. i myself would not try and harm him, but i definately wouldn't cry if someone did.

A. Bush
B. Kerry
C. Do over, pick new people.

Hmm choices.

The difference seems to be this: we know what Bush said he would do--and has not. Now he says he will do more. As he says, "Fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again."
And then there's Kerry--we don't know what he WILL do, only what he SAYS he will do. But I think we have a better chance of swaying Kerry in the right direction than we do of getting George to even admit he made a mistake. And therein lies the truth. George will not admit it. Whether it is arrogance, or willful deceit is not important. He lied to us, and refuses even now to admit it. Let him go down in flames.

I just saw that vid. it's awsome. didn't know Ashcroft was gay. these guys have outdone themselves. I'm voting for Bush because I know what to expect, there is no choice, and I'll work on looking toward 08 when maybe we'll have someone decent. har har.

expect World War III

ill take option c, and lets stick jesse ventura and howard dean in as the new people. don't know ventura's political affiliation, but then again i never paid much attention to him anyway. before or after his wrestling career went to pot.

I expect it carla, but not by the hands of one man. anyone who thinks one person is gonna do everything I've heard rants on this site say, is just kidding themselves.

doesn't need to be one man...he lies and gets 300million people's panties in a bunch. that's all it takes. one country. it worked for getting american support for the war on iraq.

he's a politician. lying is a way of life with that breed. on that logic Kerry will do the same thing. I'm an independent who was going to vote third party. not anymore.
People on this site have done more for the Bush campaign through wild and groudless hatred rather than objective debate.

Oh, I think the hatred has a rational basis.
In which state do you live compmore? (wondering if your vote will matter)

Oregon and no it won't matter. Hatred NEVER has a rational basis. it only destroys the one who hates

Oh, I don't think that's true. Hate is like guilt. A motivator.

sure it's a motivator, doesn't make it good though. nothing good in the history of mankind ever came out of blind hatred

As I said, the hatred is not blind, it's rational. Defending family and country comes out of rational hatred. Which is why GWB must go. I love my country. He made it a mess.

right, all by himself. If gore was elected we'd be living in a peaceful world where everyone gets along.

Hate actions, and policies. Not people. if we hated everyone who disagreed with us (rational or not) we'd be hating lots of people.

for example I still consider you, Code and others very intellegent people and I trust all your views. many I've conversed with I still consider friends. I have no anomosity toward anyone on this site (except one who can't hold their personal insults toward those they disagree with). However since I've made my political views known I'm willing to bet there are a lot of people on this site who hate me personally just because I differ with them. There is no reason or excuse for that. the person doing the hatred is the one who has the real problem.

I don't hate you, I just think you're very misguided.

We would not be in the Iraq mess if Gore had been president.

you're right. we'd be in another mess. those people over there have no respect for life, only their own radical views and no president can contain that. Like Germany in the 30's, Hitler wasn't a threat to us at all but eventually we had to face him. prevention is always better

We didn't prevent -- we created. The terrorists weren't in Iraq -- they are now. The U.S. policy under George Bush is a miserable failure. I can't understand how knowing what he'll do is a good reason to vote for him. Yeah, we know what he'll do -- he'll screw up.

Saddam was not a threat. He didn't have weapons of mass destruction. H was not Hitler. Iraq was not Germany in the 30's. Having a "showdown" with him only unleashed more terrorist acts.

H = Saddam

We didn't prevent -- we created.

Only because we struck first. If we went in to stop Hitler in the Reinland or the Sudatenland first everyone would say we started the war, shame on us.

The terrorists weren't in Iraq -- they are now.

How do we know. Sadams government was friendly to any extremest group that hated the west. they just didn't blow anything up. If not Iraq they would've been somewhere else. We took their sancuary in Afghanistan away from them. they're in the market.

Saddam was not a threat. He didn't have weapons of mass destruction.

Neither was Hitler in the 30's. No WMD's were found. He may not have had them, then again he may have had them. he had plenty of time to get rid of them if he did. He knew he'd never beat back an invasion.

He was not Hitler.

He massacred innocent people by the hundreds of thousands, possibly millions. Imprisioned Iraq's and Iranian captives for slave labor. Invaded Sovergn nations, ran a secret police state that even attempted an assination of a U.S president. Yes that's a tough comparrison to draw.

"Having a "showdown" with him only unleashed more terrorist acts."

No it only brought to the surface what was already there that we would've had to deal with eventually anyway.

Do you watch the news?? NO WMD -- none, nada, no reason to go there. We had Saddam contained. He slaughtered people when he was our ally and we sold him weapons. Saddam was not friendly to anyone who hated the U.S. He led a secular regime and hated Muslim extremists. He was not harboring Al Quaeda. The U.S. did a stupid thing invading the country and now more people hate us (and have good reason to).

I don't understand why you don't see the truth. But you don't, and I can't persuade you with reason and facts, so I give up.

I totally agree. As much as I support toppling the authoritarian regimes, I see the involvement in Iraq as a failure. After all, Saddam Hussein was a non-religious, even a bit atheist type, and now his bastardic regime is being replaced by the fundamentalist bandits of Zarkawi or Al-Sadr. Under the Saddam's yoke, at least WOMEN were free to wear what they choose, to learn, to live their lives. Would the fundamentalists win, the Ladies will start to be treated like a cattle (similiarly as in Iran, Saudi Arabia or some parts of Pakistan). The terrorists should be caught and beheaded, but the way Bush is doing it is not helping anyone.

Cheerz,
Critto

yes the CIA report. the same CIA everyone was criticizing for getting the information wrong in the first place. funny how they come to a conclusion people want to agree with and now it's reputable.

I don't understand why you don't see the truth.

yep and my arguments are truth as well just depends what side you're on.
that can work both ways. all I know is all this personal anomosity toward Bush I'm constantly hearing has pushed me to defend him.

compmore--Have you seen a documentary on Sundance that's been running for the last month or so? It's called "Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War," and it was produced by moveon.org (yes, I know who they are). Would you believe the small inner Bush circle who claim the CIA led them astray, or would you believe all the CIA analysts and others in this documentary who say otherwise?
I would urge you to vote your conscience, and if you still lean toward Bush, then we will still be happy that you voted. We would have been happier if you had not voted for Bush, but the point is to make your stand for a positive reason.

btw compmore, i strongly disagree withyour political viewpoints, but i don't hate you. however hate is good. to some extent. like stress. without stress, our bodies would cease to function. without hate, this world could not exist. there must be a balance. this is why christianity doesn't work. the good can never be greater than the evil and vice-versa. anyway...saddam hated extremists as was pointed out above...namely he hated Osama Bin Laden. Osama had tried to have saddam killed as i recall. i don't like kerry, but i feel i've been forced to vote "against" bush. also, gore had the popular vote in the US by 540,000 or so votes. bush stole the election. down with the electoral college.

mmnuc3 some good points. But Bush didn't steal the election. the election was decided according to the constitution. nowhere in law does it state that the president must be elected by 51% of the poplular vote. maybe it should be different but it's not intentional or illegal which is what is required to STEAL the election. he no more stole the election than little Brianna stole some songs.

Jeb stole it for him. Along with his administration (Katherine Harris), he disenfranchised voters.

i know he didn't technically "steal" it, however i feel that he won because of the electoral college and his brother jeb. the electoral college is an evil thing of itself, created because our forefathers didn't feel that the normal person was capable of electing a president. well guess they were vindicated in 2000 hehe. but i feel that it is uniquely "un-American" to have such a method in place. oh well. i'm sure we'll all survive one way or the other. i hope.
