ASCII BUSH is an ascii video rendition of two State of the Union addresses — one delivered by George W. Bush on January 12, 2003 (just before the current Iraqi war); the other by his father, George H.W. Bush, on March 6, 1991 (right after Operation Desert Storm).

Maybe the strangest political thing you'll see - at least today, totally whack!

Quoting from the web site:
"People were excited, I guess, to hear the president. The cheering goes on ridiculously for 4-5 minutes."
Uh...no thanks. Besides, I've seen enough ASCII art in my day.

Animating letters is dull. What's cool is working things out using VT100 or other such sequences to produce animation that works at a reasonable baud rate (9,600 typically, or maybe 19,200).

OK then. Clearly I don't know much about art, at least not enough to be able to appreciate converting a video to ASCII and making the audio sound like something from Battlestar Galactica to appreciate it as art.

How about a EBCDIC Kerry? If I recall ( :), isn't that pronounced eb-see-DICK? Perfect for sKerry!
Bonus points for the FReeper that knows what EBCDIC stands for! Caution... you'll be showing your age :)

You have my sympathy :) I never said I actually develop for the machines, I just know they're still around. These days I'm mostly doing Java development and web services
