      Mel Brooks said his best way to get even with the Nazis was to forever make them the subject of ridicule.  This is right in that tradition! Oh - graphics are excellent, btw.

        It's gotten so few hits compared to my previous efforts at HuffPo's Contageous Festival, I was surprised.  It's only my fourth attempt, so I'll keep trying.

          of constructive criticism, pick up the tempo a little bit (not too much, as the graphics should not be missed) and - can you put this medium in a youtube?  I know nothing about this, but I think that way you may be able to embed it directly instead of sending folks via a link.  It's soooo easy to click on those youtube start buttons. . .

          But as to the substance?  Oustanding!

            This was only my fourth flash, and I hope to get a lot better by 2008.  I learned after posting this one that HuffPo's Contagious Festival doesn't allow cross posting, except on your own site, so YouTube will be my next host for my next project.
            I'm just doing them for fun, to learn, and to burn off some frustration, so any critism is welcome and appreciated.

      video. It reminded however of Ann Coulter and if she's a Christian, I'm a Republican!

      Barack Obama - I'll never see the threat of terrorism as a way to scare up votes, it's a threat that should rally this country against our common enemies

      It is so funny and right on...

      But can anyone tell me what is the bear image at the end, just before the curtains close? Was that Colbert rolling out a bear?

            I would love for it to get more views, but my personal pimping of it on diaries sorta feels like panhandling to me, and I worry that that sort of thing is frowned on here.  
            Any ideas?  I don't wanna hijack Anna's great diary with my stuff, but love talking about something other than Foley.
