Thanks for pointing me to this, byrne (although the HBO zombies seem to have killed the original clip). I found it shatteringly powerful.

Here's one that is still working as of now.

It was kind of shocking to see something this genuinely moving, since the rest of the celebration was mind-bogglingly bizarre, pointless and self-congratulatory. [Except for the bit where Joe Biden shouted at everyone, and the one where two guys swung live American eagles around their heads like so many feathery bolos. Those parts were strong.] And far more subversive in its way than stupid Bono and his ain't-I-a-stinker Palestinian reference. Thank you, Bono. No one else had the balls to come out and say Palestinian people would, all things considered, prefer to live in peace. You deserve the Nobel Prize ... for Cojones.
