One of the primary reasons I love the Simpsons is for the show's numerous and loving homages to thousands of classic films, both well known and obscure. Here are three Youtube clips that illustrate the references that appear to have shaped Mr. Burn's "See My Vest" song and dance sequence.

prescient foreign policy analysis from...The Onion
"What exactly is our endgame here? Do we really believe that we can install Gen. Tommy Franks as the ruler of Iraq? Is our arrogance and hubris so great that we actually believe that a U.S. provisional military regime will be welcomed with open arms by the Iraqi people? Democracy cannot possibly thrive under coercion. To take over a country and impose one's own system of government without regard for the people of that country is the very antithesis of democracy. And it is doomed to fail. A war against Iraq is not only morally wrong, it will be an unmitigated disaster."The Onion, March 2003.
