Blasphemy has never been so funny.
The thing about Israelis is, they we are equal opportunity offenders. Christians? No problem: If Mary had been a modern Israeli woman (5 MB WMV download) Chasidic and other ultra-orthodox Jews? We got you covered: I’m sure there’s plenty of stuff out there to cover Muslims and others, too, but I’ll leave it to others…

What do we want? CHANGE! When do we want it? NOW!
Who’s gonna make it happen? EVERYBODY! … well, at least I know that when I go to Washington I’ll be able to get some change.

Elective inspiration
Yeah, it’s specific to one candidate, but the message is so universal, and so beautifully produced, that it’s well worth sharing: a song, based on Barack Obama’s speech after the New Hampshire primary, produced by the Black Eyes Peas’ will.i.am.

Equal time, again: Christmas in Fallujah (x2)
My first concert was Billy Joel on (I think) The Bridge tour, so I’ve been a fan for a long time. I went to that concert with my mom, who’s also a big fan. She was kind enough to point me to Billy’s latest social commentary tune (following up on, just off the top of…
