Land of Confusion II: Music Video of the Day -- Illegal Alien Edition


So, E decided to post on the 2012 Olympics logo--what someone quoted in the Times calls a comical sex act between the Simpsons, and what Jon Stewart more aptly described as (and pardon the prurience here) "a slot machine going down on a stop sign"--but what struck reader Owen's eye was the Genesis motif. With the comprehensive immigration bill getting dragged through the mud on Tuesday during Torturepalooza II: Gay Linguists Need Not Apply, and with it failing to achieve cloture last night in a stunning rebuke of even a pretense of bipartisanship, there is little one can say. Maybe that's okay. Maybe Phil Collins, whose prescience knows no bounds, said it best: "It's no fun, being an illegal ay-lee-un."

settle a debate between me and my friend: is "against all odds" better than "one more night?" i'll reveal my preference once you weigh in.

btw, i used to be obsessed with the "land of confusion" video. they really don't make 'em like they used to.

I've just discovered that Wonkette posted this video, and I unwittingly broke my own rule about posting things from Gawker Media. Goddammit, Owen.
