Bush v Kerry – the difference?

It very much looks like the race for the Whitehouse will be running over a few national boundaries now that Mr & Mrs America are becoming aware of the existence of ‘overseas’ – bless their little cotton socks.

So US political debate has now a worldwide audience and this little number from JibJab has been causing a stir – being litigious capitalists the stir is around the use of the old Guthrie protest song ‘This land’ and not the message of the cartoon but then again the message is a little obvious (although I like the bits where they do the burlesque dance and the bit where Clinton gets man-bitch slapped for fondling what unaccountably looks like virgin Mary Tyler Moore dressed as the Stature of Liberty in a bikini…)

Anyway either you have seen it or you ‘aint so if you ‘aint take a gander now!

Haha! I was sitting in a pizza shop on my lunch break and this came on the TV, the whole place turned, watched and laughed, myself included.

I have never seen Americans so passionate about an election.
