Recipe for Ineffective Video
1 Foreign Concept (Earmarks!)
Several splices of C-SPAN (mmmmmmm!)
2 highly recognizable pop songs
Mix together. Serve hot on YouTube! Enjoy (if you can).
What this video does manage to accomplish, is it makes me kinda wanna be at a ball game, eating a hotdog, watching the jumbotrons.
In all seriousness, I appreciate what this video wants to be, but it just doesn’t work. All I hear is “wah wah wah wah wah…earmarks…wah wah wah…”
Which is unfortunate, because this IS an important issue that is terribly complicated to simplify for the layman. Some might argue otherwise. But why don’t you ask a real expert, even if he does reference House Democratic Leadership’s change in course “begrudgingly.”

Do they honestly think this problem is confined to democrats? The video seems to honestly think that these GOP congressmen are some kind of heroes, and not the flagrant hypocrites that they clearly are. This is mindless party cheerleading at its most vomit-inducing.
