As we await word tomorrow of a no less surprising attack on Hawaii (apparently they’ve already deployed the TARP there, it only took a phone call!), Gorilla revisits a Bozo song he actually recorded in 2005, less than a year after Garage Band forced his most recent hardware upgrade (still going strong!).
Genetics go a long way to explaining activist judges, regardless of what bi-partisans may say…
There’s a new offensive in Afghanistan, in which our vaunted military seems to think that they can throw out the Taliban, and get the poppy farmers some fantastically more profitable alternative living, with a marine force less than 1/100 the size of a Soviet army that also couldn’t control the province.
We’re currently spending $600-800 billion/year on defense, roughly 15 times more than any other country, against: 1) a small band of fifth-rate terrorists we hope won’t get lucky again and/or 2) a small band of fifth-rate countries promoting medievalism and/or mass starvation.
Meanwhile, Senators are cheering themselves for getting the public health care option, whatever that may mean, down to less than $100 billion/year, while unemployment rockets towards 10%.
To pretend to combat global warming and provide national health care, we could be asking Afghan poppy farmers to supply us with cheaper opiates, helping democracy at least to fill time, the donut hole, and rows of corn with New Haven firefighters.
Normally, I post my Bozo Songs to my website. I’ve listed the 2009 Bozo Songs link in the Blogroll.
Here’s the latest one I wrote:
Sunni Late Payments Are The New MBS: A Bozo Ottava Rima Song
The King of Pop is dead, and I still don’t care
Farrah’s gone, but my right hand remains quite strong
Getting older is ahead of what may scare
Health care cons, and a country going wrong
Nothing bolder left than rhetoric to spare
Sons and daughters dying, this decade’s Hmong
72 hours of nostalgic craze
For what we once were, or villages to raze.
Never having been a fan of blogging, I will try to see whether it makes sense as part of my overall website.
As a writer, I write mostly for myself, but I’m not adverse to sharing my work with others. I just don’t want to spend the time on backend IT administration, publicity, or any software that can’t be learned in less than 30 seconds by a very impatient end user.
