Walt Handelsman

thank you bernie madoff for leapfrogging me on the list of worst people named Bernard or a derivative there of!

Love it !!

Gave me a good laugh on a monday morning before a meeting !

One of Walt's best.

Wow...did Walt actually insinuate some accountability for JohnQPublic?

Best cartoon ever. You should do a show like the SImpsons

Totally brilliant! That was the best song and dance I heard about the economy yet.

Brilliant!!
As a Financial Advisor, I will lbe sending this to clients to give
them a much-needed laugh!

Laughter induced stomach pain going on here.

Absolutely fantastic! Made me laugh, sing, and enjoy. What a terrific mind!

this is terrific - my husband and I were hysterical, which is necessary these days. I sent this to friends and family, however one person will not find it humorous....my son-in-law. He has a wonderful sense of humor but works for AIG, which is now called AIU. His department had nothing to do with their mortgage problems though - he is an atty in corporate property & casualty ins.

excellent!!!!!!!!!!!funny but true

Terrific, well done.
I loved it.
Sent it to all my friends.

BRAVO!

The best laugh I had all day. More power to you. Jxxooxx

This is hilarious!!!

Now "ain't that too damn bad"...remember SOUTH PACIFIC?
It's a great parody, but doesn't erase the ugliness that has prevailed. It is overdue, but the word ETHICS needs to be studied and implemented.

Thanks for giving me a good laugh!

Quite amusing and on point.

I'd love to share this with some friends but they are blind and this site and the animation are TOTALLY in-accessible for them.

Too bad - they would love it.

Hi, I never heard of Walt before my friend Al sent me this! I always thought that WH was an acronym for the White House but it has taken on a new meaning for me. Walt H. is very funny indeed. dodubln

Truthful and funny, a brilliant combination!

This was great, hope you add Congress to it.

Who wouldn't enjoy this??? Terrific!!!
I have forwarded this to who appreciate the humor and those who are on the other side of the fence.

I have clicked on "Recession Sing a long four times, and all I get is the hour glass!

In truth, this is really not funny at all, To us, perhaps, but not to a lot of people out there.

Very enjoyable! my wife had to come in a see what sort of musical I was listening to.
Now, I maybe forced to watch Music Man or South Pacific tonight!

Ahh.. what the heck, they are decent musicals.

Watch out for MealerAmericanMotorsCorporation...
We are coming in fast and hope to solve viable Green automobile
and the climbing cost of electrical power problems!

So Funny, Sorry it ended!!
My children and I haved loved West Side Story most of our lives!
You are sooo talented. Thank you fo truths with such laughter!!!

Hi Walt,
Great stuff!! I look for your cartoons/political comments in the Balto.Sun and remember you in my 4th. grade Sunday School class at BHC. So glad you were listening to all I had to say. I thought you weren't listening in class.No wonder you are so successful!!!
Keep up the good work. I'll be looking with pride for your future views of our world.

A.Steve Baklor

If we can laugh at our sorrows, we are lucky.

ENCORE!!!

very funny, It is good to have a laugh and everyone can relate.

brilliant.

Where is the satire one Nerobama and his tellapromter?

All of the retorical bases are covered.

I think even Leonard Berstien would be proud!

This made me laugh out loud!

hilarious

and lets also thank and give a hand to the great Lobbyists that through big money payouts for influence to greedy politicians helped bring this economic disaster to all American tax Payers.

Brilliant!

Painfully enjoyable.

Hysterical! And, I still love that music, anyway.

priceless! had to watch it several times!!

Thought this was terrific...do more of them

Great work!! In spanish we say "A mal tiempo, buena cara" meaning keep a positive attitude when faced with difficult situations. I also remember your Babyboomers clip.

Oh, this is GREAT! As long as we remember to laugh once in a while, we have a chance of surviving this mess!

Where's the verse about Fannie & Freddie, Chris & Barney?

Too short!!! Wanted it to go on & on!! And there must be other musical vehicles that can be used for some clever "updated" lyrics! Rock on, Walt!!

http://mytoxiclady.blogspot.com/

I've watched this 10 times & have laughed. With all the negatives going on today, we can't afford to lose our sense of humor. Keep up the good work. Loved the "timber/forest" cartoon. Oregonians can relate!!!

Outstanding! Very funny. Thanks for the great laugh!

It would have been funnier and more insightful if you had included Barney Franks' and Chris Dodd's shenanigans and involvement in the sub-prime mortgage hoo-haa, Where were they

THIS IS FUNNY, MY NY FRIEND SUSAN TOLD ME TO LOOK YOU UP, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Our community did "West Side Story" (and I helped)...These lyrics are a lot funnier!

what a hoot!!!!!!!!!! a pleasure to read and SMILE.

The guy who cranked this up is obviously an ACLUoony Liberal. The statists in our own government -- not to mention the assortment of totalitarians we're surrounded by in oh, lemmeseehere, China, most of Europe, Venezuela, Mexico, and that's just for starters, should have taken most of the heat for what has happened to the American economy. And then there's that so-called p-------t, you know, the occupier of the Oval Office, and his statist pals and thugs. Can our Constitutional Republic survive? Watch this and then answer: http://www.wimp.com/thegovernment/

Really clever and creative. One observation, however. Why do the inept economic policies and coercive market interference by the government, the real culprit in this scenario, always seem to escape the condemnation it rightfully deserves in the blame game?

ALL of the above...

There's no question about it; this country is going to the dogs!

The next "musical" can be on "The Sound of Music" - "The Hound of..."
"I'm Fond of Muzak" - there's plenty of newsy tid-bits to consider.

Thank you - Thank you - THANK YOU !!!!
I certainly needed a good laugh what with the way
my retirement has gone South and is hiding there.
(Still hoping that Obama can direct funds back to
those of us who worked hard during our lifetimes)
Thank you for your efforts and good sense of humor.

Very Funy; we need that and more! not only now, but every day!
If we don't smile it means, we live to work and we don't work to live!
All the best and more...Marina

Unbelieveable------
How someone with so much talent
doesnt get paid for bringing So much
HUMOR into the hearts of millions
OK only thousands

Wonderful or in the words of Lawrence Welk, wunnerful, wunnerful. More B'way parodies please!

Loved it! hey, Walter, I dated a very funny cute guy in Brooklyn way back in the 40's. Named Stan Handlesman. He entertained at bar mitzvahs, had a talking dummy in a suitcase who talked when we were on a trolley car(Dates me reallly old! )Any relation??

Very clever! Just what we need now. I smiled enough to rid the pain!!!!

How pathetic. I saw nothing about Barney Frank, chris Dudd or any of the other legislators that actually caused the loss of America.

Is there any provision for receiving a "a cartoon a week"

or similiar e-mails from your site on a regualar basis as "Word-A Week" or "
Poem-A Week"?

I am going to have this song in my head for the rest of the day!
Loved it. Passed it on to friends and family so they can experience some hysterical laughter just as I did. Keep it coming!!!!!!!!!!

OYOM

Very clever and timely. Will send it around.

nothing shows a persons character more than what he laughs at........and this doubled me over!!!!

Nice site. Thank you.,

Nice site. Thank you.,

excellent, I have forwarded to few friends
thanks

Didn't see Barney Fwank, Chris Dodd, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Franklin Raines or Jamie Gorelick mentioned in the video.

They caused this mess, mister. Credit where credit's due!

Great video, very funny, we need more of this.
Thanks

Nice site. Thank you.,

Best one yet!..would love some more Broadway inspired stuff from you

I winder what would have happened if we
had let the Bush Admin convert our Social Security
to the market. I bet most of our funds would have been
used up by now. We alll need to think about that next time
it is brought up for a vote.

hysterical and smart...thanks so much for the laugh; i hope you'll do more
musicals!

A real laugh - somewhat in the same boat

Too Funny! Somebody has too much time on their hands though!

- Todd Charske

GRRReat, but sadly, not really funny enough............I WANT those "jerks" to be held responsible. In this country you go to jail for smoking a joint, but these greedy evil people get AWAY with what they did? Only Madoff goes to jail?? NOT FAIR.

Great idea but you failed to mention b.o. plenty, the SOCIALIST,
FASCIST, RADICAL resident of the White House that ever was
put into office by acorn, trial lawyers, the aclu, radical
homosexuals and most of congress who allowed these
saditionists and traitors to rig the election; not that the alternative
would have been much better, but at least McCain would have not
mortgaged our children (who b. o. want to turm into "brown shirt"
slaves to socialism) for the next 20 or 30 years.

Funny...sad but tue. What a world. Who would have 'thunk it.'
Keep up the satire, you're doing a great job of putting some levity into an untenable situation.

Even Leonard Bernstein would get a big laugh.

FUCK AND ELIMINATE ALL YOU JEW FUCKS, AND WATCH OUT SOON IS SOONER THAN SOON,,,,,,,

It's so sad to end the comments with Dingle! This world needs and should insist on a much higher and purer standard than that!

Loved it. When is this version going to Broadway?

Just received this and forwarded - to my local councilman
who is named IRA

This hits it right on the nose.Should be televised world wide.

This is great - unless you are in that situation. If you are, check out my website.

that was so funny I almost fell off my chair..really hit home ...
we all need a good laugh these days ...thank you so much

Very, very clever. You are a jewel.

One of the very best commentary animations I have ever seen. Over the top.

I really was in the mood to go to a show today and this filled that need.
What a great laugh.........,thanks for being out there.

Very funny but missed a huge problem - UNEMPLOYMENT. This is the real worst side of the story. Jobs are being shipped overseas daily. GM just announced they are importing over 17,000 cars made in China while they lay off American workers and take bailout money from the American people. Something very wrong with this scenario.

Don't forget our politicians in the next version.

HAHA!! This is hilarious. Wow, great job.

Frequin awesome , and so true , I'm going fishing !

I didn't think it was funny at all .. I think it pretty sad really !

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Too bad he couldn't have entertained at my Bar Mitzvah. What a hoot!!

It's nice it made me laugh, It really should be on broadway.
Something like this would go far on Broadway I think.

Very funny and clever but they missed the biggest culprit of all: the federal government, specifically the FED.

That was just great! Just what we need. A good laugh and poking a little fun at what is going on. Very entertaining. Thanks. Helen

You forgot to mention the politicians responsible for the mess: Bush, Cheney, Paulson, and the Republican Congress who suppressed any government oversight into the financial shenanigans that caused the breakdown in our system. That part "ain't" funny, McGee!

I saw this wonderfully clever satire in early May - I just sent it this
morning to a bunch of family, friends and customers as every time
I see it I don't stop smiling and admiring the work that has gone
into putting it together...GREAT JOB!!!

It does not cease to amaze me, however, how many schmucks
are posting comments advising you to a) blame the gov't b) put
more blame on this or that c)you should have said this or that,
etc....

To those lost and bitter souls who don't seem to have a lighter
side in this day and age I say: DO IT YOURSELF, YOU PUTZ!!

Keep up the good work!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

Jamie

If I did not pass this on I would be marked lousy to the gang.

Walt, that was great... I definitely hit the "forward" button on that one. We miss you in New Orleans!

S'wonderful! So much fun to see and share. Thank you!

OMGosh! this should be a full show, not just a little skit!! It's so perfect!

Great stuff, I know you must be working on one that will include the 150 year sentence. I will be looking for it.

No blow gun is complete without adding some accessories. Name of product paintball gun remote line adapters. Thank :-( Candra from Sweden.

What a way to start the day...cleaning puppy poop and watching this video! Hmmm! The government must...MUST...do the same...clean things up, I mean. Thanks for a great laugh...for several.
