  "Go away, I'm bating."

  Sadly more relevant and truthful today than when it was made in 2006. A prophetic comedic look at the "dumbing down" of the United States and its potential side effects. Kinda depressing in a modern context.
  Terry Cruz is having a grand old time as President of the United States of America.
  Plants crave electrolytes.
