Funny skit.
But did you know that the melody is taken from an old Mexican battle march, The Dragoon Charge:
From the Battle of Angostura, 1847, between Mexican defending forces and the invading American army during the Mexican-American war.

My daughter had to wait in line seven hours for a drive-through covid test
Got in line at 11:00 AM, one hour before they opened and there was already a line.
Total number of people they tested for the day: 30
No, seriously, 30.
Oh, and they had to pay $100 for one test because their European insurance was not accepted.
Oh, and people who had insurance also had to pay $100 because the system to validate insurance was down.
You can file a claim later with the insurance, they said.
Our covid testing system is a joke.

The main question from the J6 commission will ultimately be: What did the President do,
and when did he doo doo?
The Ramones is a real place. I've been by it.
I always think of them as I go by it.

Five Centuries and no Change
https://www.riseupandsing.org/songs/cinco-siglos-igualAbout the Song
This sad and triumphant song is about 500 years of colonization of the indigenous peoples of the New World.
Different singers sing this song in a different order of verses.
Soledad sobre ruinas, sangre en el trigo
Rojo y amarillo
Manantial del veneno, escudo heridas
Cinco siglos igual
Libertad sin galope, banderas rotas
Soberbia y mentiras
Medallas de oro y plata contra esperanza
Cinco siglos igual
En esta parte de la tierra la historia se cayó
Como se caen las piedras aun las que tocan el cielo
O están cerca del sol, o están cerca del sol
Desamor, desencuentro, perdón y olvido
Cuerpo con mineral
Pueblos trabajadores, infancias pobres
Cinco siglos igual
Lealtad sobre tumbas, piedra sagrada
Dios no alcanzó a llorar
Sueño largo del mal, hijos de nadie
Cinco siglos igual
Muerte contra la vida, gloria de un pueblo
Desaparecido
Es comienzo, es final, leyenda perdida
En esta parte cinco siglos igual
Es tinieblas con flores, revoluciones
Y aunque muchos no están
Nunca nadie pensó besarte los pies
Cinco siglos igual

Translation(s)
Translation:
Five Centuries the Same
Loneliness over ruins, blood on the wheat
Red & yellow
Spring [source] of the venom, shield, wounds:
Five centuries the same
Liberty without gallop, broken flags
Arrogance & lies
Medals of gold & silver against hope
Five centuries the same
In this part of the earth, history fell down
Like the stones fall down, even the ones that touch the sky
Or are near the sun, oh that are near the sun.
Lack of affection, failed meeting, forgiving & forgetting
Body with mineral
Working peoples, poor childhoods
Five centuries the same
Loyalty over tombs, holy stone
God couldn't manage to cry
Long dream [or sleep] of evil, nobody's sons
Five centuries the same
Death against life, glory of a people
That have disappeared
It's the beginning, it's the end, lost legend
In this part five centuries the same
It's darkness with flowers, revolutions
And even though many are not there
Nobody ever thought of kissing your feet
Five centuries the same
I got my booster shot today
I need just one more chip implanted to qualify as a wi-fi hotspot.
Daddy, what is a man?
- A man is a person who looks out for and protects the family. Someone who will always be there to protect you and keep you out of trouble.
- Daddy, when I grow up, I'm going to be a man.
Just like mommy.
