Watching CNN, and a story about a group starting to work on a Condi Rice run for President in 2008.

They have a video, with a catchy tune...

Of course, BNW is actually about the very opposite of what the Bushies want. That world is about as New Deal as you can get; guaranteed jobs, massive government intervention in the affairs of individuals, etc. Score one more point for the gods of irony.

Actually, Huxley's title was a bit ironic and stolen from a line in a poem as I recall.

Alas, I can't find a reference via a google search. Though I did come up with a hit that at least had the full line:

Oh, what brave new world is this, that hath such people in it...?

Mir. O wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there heere?
How beauteous mankinde is? O braue new world
That has such people in't
