Guess what? There's a US Election

I came across this crazy video on a blog belonging to someone who calls herself simply, Mom. She wrote a comment on one of my posts yesterday, so I checked out her blog....as you do. It goes by the name of Family Adams Magazine - and she has a couple of review posts of M Night Shyamalan's latest movie, The Happening - with spoilers. So don't read these if you're intending to catch up with the movie at some point.
But more recently than those reviews, she's posted the video I was talking about. It's sung throughout to the tune of The Times They Are a-Changing, and the words are subtitled at the bottom in case you miss any of the subtleties.
It's cleverly done, quite witty and doesn't let anyone off the hook. At the end it tells you how you can make a similar video by going to JibJab.com. JibJab seems to specialise in pre-made videos that allow you to substitute your own face/head for the one that's already there. And then, using the old Monty Python technique of dropping the jaw of the face, they make it look like you're singing - in a loose sort of way. You don't even need the IQ of an airhead to do it (that's IQAir for short)
Here's the video, anyway, to give you an idea.
