Got a dandy, in my side. And I got it from laughing.

Just got home from a performance by "Capitol Steps". What a perfect prelude to the campaign intensity that's going to the routine for the next few weeks. Impressively spot-on timely lyrics to music from "Hair", "Jesus Christ Superstar", and at least a dozen other musicals. Also an utterly delicious riff delivered entirely in Spoonerisms (try "Youble-doo" and his "self-defecating humor&quot .

My absolute fave: the Ginsburg/Sotomayor duet performing "Scalia" (to the tune of 'Maria' from West Side Story).

Thanks, I needed that.

1. We only have McCain...

...I went looking for a video of "Scalia"..."I just met a jerk named Scalia, and suddenly that name, signifies one without a brain, TOooo MEeee"

Scalia, I just bribed a judge named Scalia,
And suddenly I found
how powerful a dollar or a pound
can BEEEEEEEEEE
Scalia, say it loud, there's a donkey braying,
Say it soft, there's a CEO paying Scalia

But all I could find was

Thanks, Madam Silver Spurs, I was not previously aware of the "We put the Mock In Demomockracy" Capitol Steps.

2. I caught a performance myself.

They are very entertaining, sadly so are the actual politicians.
