This video, done by a Canadian high school student named Arman Noory, manages to be both funny, crushingly sad, and educational, all in a 15 minute timeframe. Even better still, he splices in footage from a 1980s porn movie and dubs in voices to help give voice to one of his many different forms of delivering information. This is one to send to all the friends -- liberal or not.

I don't know how to embed vimeo, so if someone knows code for that, I'd greatly appreciate it.
