To commemorate his 18th initiative campaign (and his third campaign for this particular initiative), Tim Eyman has decided to remake a children's classic. Unfortunately our hero is about to discover that in today's hostile political climate, no one is safe from ambush edutainment.And now, as is your custom, here are the lyrics:I'm an initiative,Eyman Initiative,and I'm saving you from your elected,legislative majority oppressing the minority,that's clearly not the will of the popular majority....
Behind the scenes footage from a Susan Hutchison ad gives some unsettling insights into the candidate's true nature.

With the whole nation wrapped up in March Madness, we thought it was an important time to commemorate one of future basketball's greatest post-apocalyptic rivalries.
Just when we thought the world couldn't be turned any more on its inner ear, we feel the bubble float a bit further from the center. Once a quintessential symbol of American economic dominance, the social networking industry has stepped forward with its head down and its hand out. How will our government respond to the news that frivolous web-traffic is not the stable commodity we were told it was? What are the potential consequences of the country losing its online sneaker friendships?
After receiving a terrifying glimpse of the future, we send this video back in time to save the inhabitants of the past, or at least to spread the misery.If we have selected our options properly, this video should upload five days ago, just in time to reap the millions of views which are rewarded to timely, topical spoofs (see 'sarah palin september').
