For the sake of attribution, the clip was put together by an Aussie law student named Hugh Atkin, who has had some good press for political parody in his own hemisphere. Atkin’s YouTube ouvre is here; the vid that made the papers is here.
Little known fact – if association with our site flushes Hugh’s reputation, it won’t necessarily circle the drain counterclockwise. I know you were wondering.

That’s good stuff! When I started hearing the ChangeBots, I thought of this

Thanks! Good to get a laugh out of all this.
I must note, though, that Obama said the word “Change” too optimistically, Edwards said it too angrily and Hillary seemed to have a double meaning when she said it.

Hugh Atkins wins the internet today.

Don’t forget, it was also shrill and grating when she said it.

Obama transcends change.
Jake
Wrong. Obama was sending secret signals to his jihadi masters when he said it, Edwards’ hair was too well groomed and Hillary clearly meant she was going to castrate all Republicans.
Snark aside, has anyone checked Frederick’s of Thompsonwood for a pulse lately? “… …. …. Change.”

Pretty soon the presidential candidates are going to start sounding like the homeless people in that South Park ep. [zombie-like]- “Chhaaaanngge. Chaaaaaaannnngge!”
skippy

now do one featuring fox news anchors and call it “ground control to major garrett.”

I used to be for change.
But I changed my mind.

Cute video. Problem is, I hate cute.

Sit by my side, come as close as the air,
Share in a memory of gray;
Wander in my words, and dream about the pictures
That I play of changes.
Thanks to Obama, I have this stupid song running through my mind.

When Guiliani says “change” it’s cuz he’s trying to raise money.
“Change?”
“Change?”
“Hey mister, got any change?”

We have been in this business a long time. With our experience, we’re gonna have ideas for change combinations that probably haven’t occurred to you. If you have a fifty-dollar bill, we can give you fifty singles. We can give you forty-nine singles and ten dimes. We can give you twenty-five twos. Come talk to us. We are not going to give you change that you don’t want. If you come to us with a hundred-dollar bill, we’re not going to give you two-thousand nickels.. – unless that meets your particular change needs. We will give you.. the change.. equal to.. the amount of money.. that you want change for!

it won’t necessarily circle the drain counterclockwise.
I’ve always wondered, if you flush a toilet at the equator, theoretically the water can’t drain either clockwise or counter-clockwise. So does the water drain straight down with such powerful force that it sucks out all of your intestines? Has anyone tried this? I think the hardest part is finding a flush toilet on the equator.

Last night I was talking to my sister in Michigan, asked her who she voted for…Mike Huckabee. I laughed and said something about fiscal Republicans might have a problem with somebody like that. I offered that the Democrats had 2 candidates many Republicans could vote for…you’d have thought I suggested the anti-Christ…like I said, Huckabee. I promise, it ain’t genetic.

Hm, looks pretty similar to this video from Armando Iannucci’s show Time Trumpet. (You might remember Iannucci putting the boot into Obama in this article last week). I mean, Atkin might just have had the same idea, but if not it’s a bit crap of him to not give an attribution.

You know, just for a change, I would like a candidate to say:
We are going to restore the rule of law and respect for the Constitution and Bill of Rights; stop the revolving door of lobbyists owning Congress; remove legal status as persons from corporations; restore rational and needed oversight of industry to restore safe food and drugs for Americans; legislate to control bloated CEO salaries while stockholders lose; get the hell out of the illegal war in Iraq; legislate to insure we never again launch a preemptive war; legislate a national medical services plan that makes delivery of medical care a right for all Americans, into which ALL businesses and individuals will pay, and from which they may all draw as medical insurance with rational deductibles, and the entire industry will be declared a non-profit enterprise, enough of this insanity with one out of six Americans with NO INSURANCE AT ALL, and the rest of us paying for it anyway while insurance companies do any and everything to screw policy holders while concentrating on their CEOs and stockholders.
No that’s what I mean by change.

As good as “Changes” is, I think a more appropiate Bowie tune for primaries is this one, Little Fat Man Who Sold His Soul.

That’s all well and good, but is Ziggy Stardust **for** Families, Values, and a Strong America, or against them?

Did you hear Rudy say “Change is a constant”?
It’s that Jesuit education again.
