Stupid gag at the end. I was going to upvote-- a potentially powerful message ruined. No upvote.

I thought the best part was the bit about STRONG CHRISTIAN OVERTONES.

That was disturbing and yet strangely satisfying.

I realize that the war isn't going our way and that the whole WMD thing was, well, a fabrication, but thank god that lesbian couple on the corner can't get married.

"I am a frighteningly articulate but very cute six year old"... Now that I have my own five-year old son (who *is* the bestest kid ever), I'm always amazd that they can get little kids to be so articulate on camara.

Gosh, as I listened, I found myself being drawn to his powerful, manly rhetoric.

The tags prepared me too well for what was going to happen. The price of accuracy....

I remember this from when I was a kid-- I've always been a Joni Mitchell fan.

The oath of office I took when I was sworn in as a 2nd Lt in the Marines said I would support and defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I went into the Marines with the idea that I was defending American ideals. One of those ideals was that we would treat enemy combatants with respect-- not because doing so would keep them from torturing our troops, but rather simply because it was the right thing to do.

Asking our troops to fight and die to defend American ideals is difficult but understandable. Asking them to fight and die for any other reason is treason.

Makes me want to go hug my kid-- hell, I think I will (one of the few perks of being a father, but one of the best as well).

Oh my god, that was fantastic-- and it was made when I was just a tender young lad of 13!

Hmm, think I need to get to a meeting now...

Gee, George seems like a pretty normal guy. Maybe I've judged him too harshly.

Ahgg, that was painful to watch: 1) I pride myself on knowing my geography well, pretty much because I got dressed down by a bunch of Canadians once for not knowing anything about Canadian geography, 2) Everyone knows our next move should be to try to set up a moon station (didn't you all know that they found oil there?)

I haven't seen requiem, but I've seen Toy Story 2 about a zillion times (my kid just turned five), and I thought this gave tremendous emotional impact.
