Imagine the nerve of the guy to interupt something important like "Dancing With the Stars" or something just to tell us how many more American kids he is sending off to a war.

Going over the top ....

“Well we’s all niggas now
With the price of war in Asia
We gots no one else to blame
Yes we’s all niggas now
Republicans or Democrats
Dem liar’s all de same
While da homeless line da sidewalks
But da White House is palatial
Dey’s a thousand ways to kill a man
And dey ain’t only racial
Cause we’s all niggas now
Everyone’s got a case of the blues.”

(A verse from a song that got me fired for singing it in a TP Crockmiers in 1980 dressed in black face, spats and a tuxedo with a top hat playing at a baby grand. Performance art wasn’t invented by Lady Gaga. Sometimes ya gotta go on the ... offensive.)

I dunno Cheryl, you may be in the same place I was in 1963 when Kennedy got shot. I was 6 years old and pissed off because all my favorite cartoons were off the air for a few days, even though I cried when the president was killed. Presidents meant something to 6 year olds in 1963 I guess.

It didn't matter to me which president is is that interrupts tv, I just find the speeches boring for some reason. I'm not as bored by them as a was when I was younger. Guess I'm getting older...

Hmm...I do kinda find myself listening more now...

I guess the thing that bugs me is no matter what any president says unless he's got a lock on Congress it ain't gonna happen.

Give me some truth.
Give me some integrity.
Don't tell me the same ol' line
Don't be makin' a tired plea.

OR
Have you ever had an aardvark sandwich?
Have you ever had a sea gull stew?
I had a pet, pitiful penguin
and I made him watch the 6 o'clock news
(shine my shoes)
I've got the help preserve 'em
Don't deserve 'em
Try and serve 'em
Love 'em all blues...

But I digest.
