You think they have a short shelf life, and then some Republican always manages to do or say something so stupid or outrageous that they regain all of their faded relevance.

We can only hope that our little parodies not only give relief and respite to those who agree with them, but also bring the pain of ridicule to those who feel more threatened by laughter than by shouts of hate returned.

Just writing lyrics by myself won't do it, and the rest of the musicians of the Freedom Toast are in Atlanta, some 4000 miles away. The Parody Project is another 3000 miles further on from Atlanta, so we're pretty spread out. Nine time zones. But we're all experienced in the parts we contribute.

Thanks for the kind words!

Believe it or not, I did start on #2, but got so caught up in the real world that I haven't found the time to finish it. These things aren't exactly documentaries, after all. Still, there are few good people, and a few nasty characters, impatiently awaiting completion. I suppose I owe it to them to get back to work on that some day.

We (The Freedom Toast) did the music track (I wrote it), and the Parody Project, who did the video. They are video experts, and their main videographer has won various awards over the course of his career. His synchronization with Sonny and Cher was brilliant. One comment even said that Cher "looked exactly like the real Cher."

It would be nice if more of the old timey celebrities vocally criticized Trump. As the older demographic tends to trend Republican, anything we can do to chip away at that support will help.

simply waving a wand and uttering a few words. If it were, he never would have made it to OUR House.

If you are familiar with Harry Potter, it took a long time to destroy the death eaters and their leader. Think of Star Wars as well. Evil so wide-spread and entrenched is not so easily done away with.

I refuse to do him that honor. He's small letters all the way (unless I'm YELLING at him or about him). He's always gonna be 'the donald" to me (in honor of Ivana, his first wife and mother of his three older kids, who he cheated on and threw over for a younger, blonder, and if memory serves, pregnant-by-him version (Marla Maples. That's what Ivana called him: "the donald" ). Or trump to me.

I'm with Cher. On that, and her entire post featured here.

But if you think he knows she (or anyone else, let alone the millions) feels that way, you are underestimating his ability to brush off facts.
