I hate the marriage of no accountability + across the board fuckups of the Bush administration as much as any other reasonable person, but that video was just annoying to the nth degree. About as "neat" and subtle as The Half Hour News Hour. Heart in the right place, brain in neutral.

I liked it. Maybe the ideas are as dated as the guy's six-pack, but it was kind of crazy beat poetry. Or maybe gong-politics. Perhaps a rant-solo, like a drum solo, but with more cymbals and no flow.

Truth be told, parenthood made me more of a liberal. As far as preaching goes, if I wanted to use Neatorama as a soapbox for anti-Bush propaganda, don't you think I'd pick a better video clip than this? Or at least one that isn't several years old? I just want to know who the guy is. I know I've seen him before, but I can't place him. A wacky guy that looks like Gilbert Gottfried who accentuates his speech by banging on pots and pans? Come on, people - that's priceless, regardless of what he is talking about. I've been a parent for almost 16 years. Truth be told, parenthood made me more of a liberal.

Somehow I don't think these whiny people would get offended by topics that are critical of the policies and actions of other governments. Hypocrisy methinks. Anyways I don't care for this video because it plain sucks as others have pointed out it's no different than countless other videos of political oriented themes. This guy isn't entertaining or funny he's annoying. Whaa, the video hurt my political feelings.

Adam has a background in Guerilla Marketing that fits right in with his motivation to force his personal ideology out to others through any forum no matter how inappropriate.
