...President has mastered the art of speaking precisely. But ironically--and sadly for the nation--that precision has left us with a great deal of uncertainty. My nausea was compounded by the President's delivery and facial expression in that interview. The President is not a convincing liar. We all notice how he bites his lower lip when he's saying something not completely true. This time, though, he didn't even bite his lip. He just looked at Lehrer...and apparently lied.

Known as the Holnist Army, this mounted horde is meant to recall an army of Huns, but comes off looking like a collection of highly regimented hoboes (all of that matted facial hair, along with an uninspired dress code, doesn't help matters). The Holnists are led by one General Bethlehem (Will Patton), a ruthless former copy machine sales clerk who found his true calling in fascist leadership after nuclear war vaporized society. Because he knows five or six lines of Shakespeare...

Dylan and company soldiered through more standards and new tunes, pausing only once to allow the leader to introduce his band.
