Electile Dysfunction is 45 minutes of remix video art bringing you the best political gaffes and education money can't buy: The damned lies of Margaret Thatcher, communities resisting foreclosure and gentrification by taking back their homes, candidates like Vermin Supreme who are not, unfortunately, on your ballot, the scary history of the 14th Amendment and how it brought us corporate personhood, and breaking news about the Post Office's new proposal to deliver mail by F16s.

The latest installment of B Media's Variety Show, a collaborative piece of video vaudeville for the masses, Electile Dysfunction rises to the occasion, even if our nationhood can't.
