Regime Change with Occasional Music: Why YouTube was Made for a Time Such as This

I think this one’s my favorite, mainly because I really hate the original song and am glad to see the tune put to good use. It is also the most sad since it is written during the dim hope that Congress might do the right thing. There are a couple of obscene gestures in the vid I wish weren’t there (though I’m not sure I can call the first one inappropriate since, as the song says, it is what Paulson does to us. The second one is just juvenile).

This last one has nothing to do with anything. But it explains a lot about my life right now since I chose communication as a major from the beginning. Didn’t even try engineering.
