The following video is from Nick Park’s Aardman company it won an Oscar and really launched his career. It’s very funny, please check it out. The Brazilian Puma is my favorite.
For those of you who are not familiar with Nick Park/Aardman: The Aardman Titles are listed here
“In 1985, Nick Park joined the staff of Aardman Animations in Bristol, where he worked as an animator on commercial products (including the video for Peter Gabriel‘s “Sledgehammer“, where he worked on the dance scene involving oven-ready chickens). He also had a part in animating the Pee-wee’s Playhouse which featured Paul Reubens. Along with all this, he had finally completed A Grand Day Out, and with that in post-production, he made Creature Comforts as his contribution to a series of shorts called “Lip Synch”. Creature Comforts matched animated zoo animals with a soundtrack of people talking about their homes. The two films were nominated for a host of awards. A Grand Day Out beat Creature Comforts for the BAFTA award, but it was Creature Comforts that won Park his first Oscar.
In 1990 Park worked alongside advertising agency GGK to develop a series of highly acclaimed television advertisements for the “Heat Electric” campaign. The Creature Comforts advertisements are now regarded as among the best advertisements ever shown on British television, as voted (independently) by viewers of the UK’s main commercial channels ITV[4] and Channel 4.[5]“

This is the kind of waste the Republicans need to focus on as much as possible. And ‘fast & furious.’

Hee hee. They might not even slightly sense the mood of the country

Sure Santorum is the perfect strawman for them. Obama will crush him in the general. He’s telling Libertarian leaning Conservatives to take a hike. Many may oblige.

Well, since you would obviously prefer Obama to Santorum what’s the problem?
@ doriangrey:
I am just telling you electoral reality. I don’t like either. They are both Big Government types.
This election is a nightmare for me. Marxism vs. Theocracy or Rockefeller Republicanism. No thanks. What ever happened to Limited Government, Free Markets and States Rights?

Free trade is great if both countries have full employment and specialize in what they are most efficient at producing.
The developing world is eager to trade substinance farming for manufacturing.
We can’t figure out that unemployment is less productive than manufacturing.
