That is a really funny one, Cruiser! It took awhile to load but it was worth it. The whole thing was very funny. I would've loved to see Bill C get slapped again! And I like Bill.

That tune drove me nuts! After 10 minutes of that,with nothing but a still shot on the screen, I quit.

Sorry kendall! I must admit the prelude to the old broadside "Dixie" that plays while the animation is loading would drive me crazy if I listened to it for 10 minutes. You could download the animation ($2.99, but see warning below for dial-up) or get both "DC" and "This Is Your Land" for $9.99 on DVD if you are on dial-up.

"The file you are about to download is very large (between 10 and 20 megabytes). If you are on a dial-up connection, we suggest you buy the DVD to avoid a seriously maddening experience"

The DC animation is very funny and all "oxes are gored" no matter what political persuasion. The characterization of Cheney/Haliburton is especially hilarious.

It took 1 minute 19 seconds to download the start of the animation (cartoon) to be viewed on the website using Shockwave. My ISP download connection is 504 kbps (dial-up is about 56 kbps at most). So, 10 minutes on dial-up may be the cost of viewing this real-time online.
