Great Song! 'God Bless You Cindy Sheehan'
If this has been posted already, I apologize, but here's a song I just encountered:

(sound file)

'Les Visible' also writes an interesting blog: "Smoking Mirrors":

Here's a snippet:

The Madness of Boy George and Me and You
Oh yes, President Mountain Bike, which is not such a far cry from President Mountebank, is going to hit the dirt harder than he ever did with his Clarabelle the Clown bike mishaps. He says that the Iraq War is going to make America safe while today on one of his crack whore media outlets, MSN.com, there is a big picture of masked men goose-stepping in cammies; lockstep marching to the new Pretoria, wherever the Hell that is. The following article explains how militias now run the country of Iraq. It’s sort of like if Idaho suddenly became America’s police force. The war is over. America lost.

Is that what they intended all along? Is this really a ‘wheels within wheels’ sort of thing where it looks like America loses but actually the bankers and merchants who run America won because somewhere, somehow they now have more power and more money than they did before? Arguably you have less money and freedom so someone won, but it wasn’t you. You lost. You lost big time. Since this ‘should be’, by default, some sort of pyrrhic solstice celebration; since you lost!!! I think it’s only fair that you should at least make their front men pay a terrible price. I think it’s time for the American Gothic heartland of this benighted coast to coast Wal-Mart to grab their pitch forks and shovels and go get the monster… but don’t forget Dr. Frankenstein this time. I think it’s time to storm the castle and take them out into the street and take off their clothes and paint their asses red and make them sing show tunes...

4. Country music is "kinda dying out because of Conservative values" at least
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 04:43 PM by Iris
according to a bit on the "right" side of the Daou report. k.


edit
Here it is:

PIRATE'S COVE
Look, Rednecks!
"Ya know, I get a big hoot out of them thar Demoncrats (demorats, dummocrats, etc) always calling us Southerners (ALWAYS spelled with a Capital S, ya hear?) rednecks and such. That's a heck of a good way to win the South come 2008. Now, we Southerners are spreadin' out to the world ... Yup. Unfortunately, the article states that Country music is kinda dying out, because it is about Conservative values. You know, things like family, children, kindness, Country, God. Everything that the vocal Liberal movement is against."

5. Yes, I have been generally surprised at how well the GOP has
co-opted so-called 'country' roots into their big-business, screw-the-little-man agenda...when the music is all about standing up for what's right, and fighting the good fights that the traditionally democratic party stood for.
