    More evidence that America is ______________.

    Are we playing Mad Libs? "Funny-looking."

    1. Pro Libertate   13 years ago

      ". . .never having to say you're sorry."

    2. Ska   13 years ago

      "...fucking over your neighbor because it's the right thing to do."

    3. Mike G   13 years ago

      More sensible than Madison, Wisconsin.

  2. .   13 years ago

    "More evidence that America is North Korea."

  3. sloopyinca   13 years ago

    More evidence that America is

    led by people that are more concerned with their political careers than the liberty of their constituents.

    Case in point: Walker caving on cop and fireman unions just to get elected. Fuck him.

  4. Heroic Mulatto   13 years ago

    The composer's website. Visit it only for the multi-colored sunglasses porn-band guy.

    1. sloopyinca   13 years ago

      Being an avid Beatle fan...

      What's a Beatle?

    2. Nipplemancer   13 years ago

      This was my favorite thing on the site.

      1. Dagny T.   13 years ago

        Awesome. This guy is right on the edge of being too ridiculous to be real.

  5. Emtee   13 years ago

    based what I was able to listen to, I'd have to go with "tone deaf"

  6. sounds real good   13 years ago

    I'd just about swear it's parody based on the ridiculous song.

  7. Taint of Santorum   13 years ago

    Nice!

  8. sloopyinca   13 years ago

    More evidence that America is
    in need of Evening Links...every. fucking. day!

  9. JJG   13 years ago

    Tone deaf

  10. PaxRomana   13 years ago

    beyond saving.

  11. Voros McCracken   13 years ago

    Be honest Matt, how much of the song did you get through? I got through seven seconds before I could take no more...

    1. killazontherun   13 years ago

      I had to hear what they were going to do with the choral. I am so ashamed of myself right now.

    2. End Child Unemployment   13 years ago

      I listened to the whole damn thing. Sometimes I do painful things just to experience the pain. I've been told I would have made an excellent monk or paladin in a different era.

      1. killazontherun   13 years ago

        In the era of the first edition rule set?

        1. End Child Unemployment   13 years ago

          It is a well known fact that I roll twenties.

          1. killazontherun   13 years ago

            You would have had to roll ALOT of twenties to survive as a first edition rule set monk at the lower levels.

    3. Matt Welch   13 years ago

      Oh, we were singing & humming it around the office.

      1. Jeffersonian   13 years ago

        He makes Willaim Hung sound like Pavarotti.

  12. CatoTheElder   13 years ago

    weird

    unbearably weird ... could only listen for about five seconds

  13. Wade Preston   13 years ago

    Fucked.

    The answer is always Fucked.

    1. H man   13 years ago

      ^
      This

    2. T   13 years ago

      We have a winner.

  14. ryan   13 years ago

    receptive to homosexual cultural influences?

  15. Old Mexican   13 years ago

    More evidence that America is ______________.

    Sign-happy?

  16. Joe M   13 years ago

    Still living in the 80s?

  17. R C Dean   13 years ago

    Undermedicated?

    1. Dagny T.   13 years ago

      Yeah, I was gonna go with "not drunk enough."

  18. RedDragon6009   13 years ago

    More evidence that America is ______________.

    full of people with too much time on their hands.

  19. old fart   13 years ago

    what's with that final shot of the gov, did he leave his glass eye at home that day?

    1. Pips   13 years ago

      He is always like that. Seriously.

  20. Nipplemancer   13 years ago

    in dire need of more cowbell.

  21. Dagny T.   13 years ago

    If anyone else is masochistic enough to make it this far, what's with his pronunciation of "Governor" right before the key change (oh yes bitches, there's a key change) at around 2:20?

    1. Warty   13 years ago

      You watched the video? Your pain tolerance astounds me. Have you considered a career as one of those circus freaks who gets suspended by hooks in their skin?

      1. Dagny T.   13 years ago

        You know you want to hear the schmaltzy, triumphant key change. Someone's been taking composing lessons from Andrew Lloyd Webber.

        Re. those skin hook people, do they even bother pretending that's not a fetish thing?

        1. Coeus   13 years ago

          No, they don't. Many fetish clubs have nights devoted to it.

    2. Res Publica Americana   13 years ago

      The Canadian taint corrupted the Wisconsinite singer's diction.

      Don't fuck with Canada, Wisconsin.

      1. Libertarian2   13 years ago

        I thought Wisconsin WAS Canada's taint.

        1. killazontherun   13 years ago

          Hmm, I thought that odor was cheese.

  22. Sean Hannity   13 years ago

    Exceptional!

  23. killazontherun   13 years ago

    More evidence that America is just an Elizabeth Warren for Massachussetts moneybomb?

  24. H man   13 years ago

    In more dire need of a blow job than any country in history.

    1. Res Publica Americana   13 years ago

      Isn't Robin Williams, like, 150 years old now?

      1. H man   13 years ago

        Yes he is. And yes I am dating myself.

        1. .   13 years ago

          So, apparently, is sloopy the Inca, though in that capacity he goes by the pseudonym "Banjos", and vice versa.

          1. Res Publica Americana   13 years ago

            I'm pretty sure it's 'Sloopy in CA', as in California.

            1. Heroic Mulatto   13 years ago

              Sloopy the Inca would be pretty cool though.

              1. FlyoverCountry   13 years ago

                Ahh, I always read it at Sloopy Inca and wondered what the hell that was about.

        2. gaijin   13 years ago

          When you date yourself, do you go dutch?

  25. David   13 years ago

    Fabulous!

  26. Alice Bowie   13 years ago

    Let the voters of this state decide.

    People can choose to stand with him or go against him.

    We'll see if there's a recall. The Democrats met the minimum requirement of votes. Let's see what it looks like after the wing-nuts on both side come out.

    Personally, I hope he's out. Anyone who would cut collective bargaining for the Teachers and the for the Cops is a coward.

    1. Randy   13 years ago

      Personally, I hope he wins. Anyone who can't understand the inherent corruption issues that are part and parcel of granting collective bargaining rights to public sector employees is either an idiot or corrupt themselves.

    2. Pips   13 years ago

      The recall got more signatures than people that voted for him. Republican voters in the state have been speaking out against him and what he has done. All the heavy Republican areas actually got a lot of signatures.

  27. BoscoH   13 years ago

    "Stand with Governor Walker": More evidence that America is...

    only a giant urinal at this point, not a full sit-down toilet?

  28. JOey Tamolie   13 years ago

    There is a dude that knows whats going on. WOw.

    http://www.privacy-toolz.com

    1. calm mentor   13 years ago

      ^^ Who is this "Tamale" character any way? And why does he/she have two capital letters in his/her first name? Is he/she unsure of his/her gender? Is he/she a JO, or a JOey? Or is it all just part of the privacy gig - confuse the watchers as to gender to throw them off the trail.

  29. rather   13 years ago

    More evidence that America is ready for more farting in jars.
