I was just reading Mosc's post about Prez Bush's latest bit of nonsense, I was originally attracted to the thread as I thought it was this.

is this bush's first honest speach?

Is it music , is it satire? I dunno , but it brought to mind the cut n paste guru's of early electronic music.

Anyway, Im so glad I dont live in a country where my freedoms are being eroded on a daily basis......."whats that tony? your giving the police powers to stop people protesting without consulting parlement? ID cards for all???" woops

Amusing!

Yes, this is very much like the satirical propaganda posteres of the 20s and 30s etc etc. One of the famous ones is the one where Hitler gets his funding from the german capitalists... I have forgotten who made that one.

Check this site for some insanely hysterical takes on the prez:

I must admit that I got a few laughs from this, but I think this kind of satire is counter productive. It tends to polarize people, and acutally builds support, for Bush. Being the butt of this kind of attgack is partially Bush's fault, by his extreme rhetoric; "you're either with us, or you're a terrorist." The logical converse is "I'm not with you, so you must be a Nazi, murderer, anti-environment, child killer, and an idiot". I think this kind of satire plays into the hands of the right wing. They can show this to the common folk and raise millions in campaign funding.

Good point.... but it is pretty funny though..

Somewhere on the site are downloads of several full radio shows. Funny stuff. The fulll length progs are the best.
