"Mr. Pragmatic!" - a noisy, whiny song about Thomas Friedman & Co.

improvised hell noise from the bottom of my already brittle heart... inspired by the recent weeks of frenzied antics by the Keystone Coupsters and their neothis neothat apologists.

Special Guest Supervillain Daniel Pipes as "The Bigotry Kid"

1. Could anybody mirror this MP3 file on their servers?

2. copyright infringement is your best entertainment value!

"Share and enjoy."

then again, I don't know if "enjoy" is the right word for uh, this.

3. Wasn't that great...

...and wasn't that long - just 30 seconds for about three megs.

Usually get 3 minuts for 3 megs.

Sorry to be harsh, but save your bandwidth if you're on dialup. There's better clips of...

(1) Howard Stern bashing Bush

and

(2) Laura Ingraham's co-host using the word "fuck"

...floating around on DU these days.

4. it is 3 minutes long

but the headache lasts a lifetime.

Please do 20 jumping jacks before driving a motor vehicle immedeately after consuming this track.

Your feeling cheated is probably due to it cutting out right before the uh, actual song starts and stuff.

If you don't have anything nice to say, compare me to Laura Ingraham - as my mother used to say.

5. lyrical ineptitude

Mr. Pragmatic!

REPORTER: "Chavez was forced out early Friday by a group of military commanders."

Never met a coup

hard not to reference
a certain Reich.

Mr. Pragmatic -

PIPES: "And nobody is going to say ouch no matter how bad it hurts."

PR flack -

CIA references

Right wing link,

PIPES: "Palestinians have a strength... poor and getting poor, isolated - probably a miserable life."

(repeat verse)

"Tom Friedman - who has just returned from Iraq."

FRIEDMAN: "Its going to be a long, hot summer in Iraq."

HOST: "Tom Friedman... tell us now..."

Mr. Pragmatic -

I won't be fooled no more.

HOST: "And Thomas Friedman..."

FRIEDMAN: "... is utterly irrelevant."
