Ho! There, Comrades.
The DocuDogma (tm driftglass) meltdown continues.
Is it fair and factual to depict Mickey as the founder of one of the most infamously (or infa-mousely) oppressive regimes of the 20th Century? As one of modern history’s greatest villains, along with Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, and anyone who asks hard questions of the Dear Leader?
No, of course it isn’t.
But since Disney has decided to throw its corporate weight and wallet behind ABCs docudogma (see how its just roooolls off the tongue) and throw facts to the four winds when it comes to reporting on the actual events as they actually happened surrounding one of the most important and thoroughly documented events in the actual history of our actual country…why the fuck shouldn’t I?
After all, as Steve Gilliard points out, lie or not, “in the interest of drama, we can say he was.”
And frankly, when you listen to the Anthem of the Disneyist Party Internationale -- with all of its shouting in unison about “banners” and “marching” and spreading their glorious revolution “around the world” --

Flashbacks from the '50's. Whooda thunk it? Great parody, DG!
P.S. Never liked Annette Funicello much, but that Cheryl was a hottie!
Step right up.
Here's your ears.

DocuDogma- from the driftglass dictionary of blogging. Things are so crazy you keep having to invent the words to describe the new convolutions of madness. Interesting times, indeed.
Drifty--heads up; some of the spammers are getting past the spamcatcher.
I like docudogma better than fake-u-drama.
I'm starting to think that it's better that ABC/Komrade Mouse stick to their guns and broadcast the thing uneidted.
Gives us another opportunity to correct the record, and replay George's riveting 9 minutes of inaction...
I like "Drek-u-drama" or "Drek-u-mentory". Or "Docu-drivel"
Being patriotic in America used to be something to be proud of, to be a staunch supporter of such a great country and to have the good fortune to be living in the USA. Where did that go, and can we get some of that back?
Get Britney, the former Mouseketeer Volunteer for the Glorious Patriotic Mouse Revolution to speak against the Mouse, and you've got it sewn up.
Nice reimagining of the Club's anthem, though I'd like to suggest a small edit, if you'll indulge my impertinence.
'Vladie' seems a bit flat, to my ear, losing that enormously appealing alliteration inherent to the famed rat's original names, which could be restored by replacing it with the name 'Mikhail.'
Just an idea. (which you may have, free and clear, should you like it)
Please contine to share your excellent compositions.
thx!!1! ^_^
