Random Quote

The account shows, however, that the gods dreaded education and knowledge then just as they do now. The church still faithfully guards the dangerous tree of knowledge, and has exerted in all ages her utmost power to keep mankind from eating the fruit thereof. The priests have never ceased repeating the old falsehood and the old threat: "Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die." From every pulpit comes the same cry, born of the same fear: "Lest they eat and become as gods, knowing good and evil." For this reason, religion hates science, faith detests reason, theology is the sworn enemy of philosophy, and the church with its flaming sword still guards the hated tree, and like its supposed founder, curses to the lowest depths the brave thinkers who eat and become as gods.

[Robert G. Ingersoll, "The Gods", 1872]

Modern digital technology allows us to see the unimaginable. George Bush sings Imagine.

How neat, yet sadly depressing too.

Not bad, though I think the version by The Party Party is more catchy.

I also found that rather depressing.

Maybe this means Dubya has turned into a pinko lib'ral antiwar bleeding heart? I wonder if he knows Lennon was a non-american , non-christian pacifist.

I reckon Dubya should sing duets with Berlusconi.

It means that John Lennon's "Revolution" is now measured in RPM!

Nice video of a sad, unscrupulous leader. I believe history will be very unkind to George Dubya.

I heard "Imagine"- the real one- on the radio driving home today. What a counterpoint. It just hurts that Lennon is dead and Bush is not only alive but President.

Here's an short article on the guy who created the track, along with a link to high-quality stereo mp3s of the audio. (192kbps, or 320kbps)

Hm, I guess this can be filed under the same category as that centipede-eats-mouse video ...
