Open For Business! (I hope this gives you a laugh.)

My friend and I live at opposite ends of the continent, yet we made this video together. Ah! What an age in which we live!

In a hopeful tribute to  what's yet to come we present an optimistic picture-packed-presentation  reminding  Americans of the greatness awaiting us !

My compliments. Y'all did a good job putting that together. Doesn't the Academy Awards have a short film/video category? Now I'm trying to figure out what the point of it is. I'm sure there's one there somewhere, but I haven't figured out yet what it is...

I guess the point is to have a laugh in the face of our less than desirable circumstances. Thanks for watching and commenting!

That was entertaining and bordered a bit on Firesign Theater-style at times, (which is a compliment if you know about their work).

Good production and editing, as well.

Thanks!

More people will see it which means more people will have a laugh and an appreciation for your work.

I highly recommend this!

Your friend’s narrating voice is perfect in every way. Pitch, tone, timing, and very pleasant.

A work of art is never fully appreciated in just one viewing. I do sincerely think this is art. You always get something more in each viewing.

My favorite bit was in Washington DC--'Home to our nation's leaders'--while showing the convicts going into their cells. Perfect!!

But lots of other goodies in there too.
