Randy Rainbow refashions a mock “interview” with Dana Loesch into a mocking musical parody of “Kids”, the musical number performed by Paul Lynde from the play “Bye Bye Birdie”. Instead of posing the original’s question of “What’s the Matter With Kids Today?”, he showcases so much of what’s right with kids today.

 

Lewis Black is known for his impassioned, but crude, diatribes. Here in a February 24th, 2018 monologue he reflects on the surge of passionate activity of today’s kids and notes the similarity with the Vietnam era, and a crucial difference. [NSFW – language]

 

Analogies are never perfect (or in this case “purr-fect”), but there’s still merit in framing gun reform issues with this approach using cats.

 

Since our platform is about expressing ideas and ideals instead of cash flow, clicks, or fundraising, we have the freedom to include a wide range of topics and formats that might not work elsewhere. We don’t need or want paid content, promotional materials, or story lines designed to please donors.

So the idea here is to present videos one or more of the editors feel speaks to them. Sometimes it will be news. Sometimes it will be history. And a lot of the time it will be culture. You can not and should not separate these things: it is diversity and intersectionality that makes our movement strong.
