This video has been the buzz of the Net recently, but I think it's worth the hype. This is a playlist for Windows Media Player, which will activate the Player when you click on it... if you're running Windows. You Mac users, I'm sorry, but I have no idea what will happen if you click on this. If you don't see a video when you click on this, all I can recommend is you go to http://www.saddle-creek.com and see if they've posted a Mac version yet.

I diddled with the playlist address a bit, in order, I hope, to skip the initial commercial... But you may experience several seconds of blank screen because your player _thinks_ it's playing a commercial.

Musician Conor Oberst, (who goes by the name "Bright Eyes" when performing with backup), sang this song on Jay Leno's show, and I'm not sure he cleared it with Leno first! Depending on their politics, people either love it or hate it. I think it ties in nicely with the old saying: "If your God hates all the same people that you do, then you have created Him in your own image"...

WHEN THE PRESIDENT TALKS TO GOD

When the President talks to God
Are the conversations brief or long?
Does he ask to rape our women's' rights
And send poor farm kids off to die?
Does God suggest an oil hike
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Are the consonants all hard or soft?
Is he resolute all down the line?
Is every issue black or white?
Does what God say ever change his mind
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Does he fake that drawl or merely nod?
Agree which convicts should be killed?
Where prisons should be built and filled?
Which voter fraud must be concealed
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
I wonder which one plays the better cop
We should find some jobs. the ghetto's broke
No, they're lazy, George, I say we don't
Just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke
That's what God recommends

When the president talks to God
Do they drink near beer and go play golf
While they pick which countries to invade
Which Muslim souls still can be saved?
I guess god just calls a spade a spade
When the president talks to God

When the president talks to God
Does he ever think that maybe he's not?
That that voice is just inside his head
When he kneels next to the presidential bed
Does he ever smell his own bullshit
When the president talks to God?

I doubt it

I doubt it
