Performance Art, 2009 Version




If you can stomach the first couple of minutes, it gets good after he chokes up the first time.


He goes on with some bizarre metaphor that our nation has been at the "wrong party." 
Typically, in this metaphor it is NOT YOUR FAULT -- you were tricked into going to this party!
He longs for a "simpler" time, which presumably means when non-whites, non-straights,
non-cripples and non-males knew that staying quiet and unseen was a virtuous
and rewarding career.


And everyone had more cavities and the infant mortality rate was higher 
and you could put any old poison into the river any old time you wanted to 
and shoot someone in the belly if they crossed your property line
and punch them in the face if they were wearing a smile you didn't like.
