V for alliteration

The man just does not stop! After that dynamite alliterative intro he keeps the magic alive in all his public speeches, and I hadn’t even noticed until cruising through YouTube.

Did you know that the last alliterative verse drama performed in England was written by JRR Tolkien? And it’s not half bad, either.

But, frankly, it’s not this good.

This is a short political video for the Knife Party in the UK, but it is primarily about how TWAT (or GWOT, if you prefer) became institutionalized, and where it’s going. And here‘s a little link from Mistress Cowfish to Bill Kristol’s New American Century project. You remember William Kristol, don’t you? He was the neocon once known as Dan Quayle’s Brain. Helluva reputation to live down, eh?

I stole this from Cold Desert! But I left them some Zombies as payment. Don’t nobody not like zombies!

Aim for the head!

Update: I didn’t. Now I remember seeing it ages ago. It must have been when I was having trouble posting, otherwise I’d have grabbed it. But opening weekend is as good a time as any to put it out there, eh?
