[Bossy Monkey]

7. More Peggy Noonan, but both "Bunker Hill" by Michael Penn & "Rockin' in the Free World"

by Neil Young reference a thousand points of light (scathingly)

[Cabcere]

8. "The Bravery of Being Out of Range" by Roger Waters

from Amused to Death, although I think you could make the case that a good bit of that album is inspired by Poppy and his goons. :shrug: It definitely applies to Junior, too! :scared:

Edited to add: GHWB isn't actually mentioned by name at all, but the song is pretty much about him...does that count?

[Orrex]

13. That was the first one I thought of

A fine, fine album from start to finish, nothstanding the presence of the incredibly awful Charles Fleischer.

[Cabcere]

15. Great minds think alike.

:hi: I love ATD - Roger Waters is one of my favorite songwriters, and that is a genius album, IMO. :)

[AlCzervik]

Original version (1991):

Our president worked for the Central Intell...
igence Agency, and before that for Shell
We know if he's lying, he's doing it well
Yes, he studied popular phonics
And he's learned the lessons of history... onics

Redux version (2004):

George Bush, the Elder, rode into Iraq
And gave 'em a taste of a Big Mac attack
Climbed on his Hummer and said, "I'll be back!"
Passing the peace-loving Saudis
Tippin' their Stetsons and waivin' their howdy's

Then Bush, the Lesser, was eager to jump in
He couldn't find Osama, he had to do sump'in
To give himself somethin' to say when he's stumpin'
People make fun of the POTUS
But he doesn't mind, in fact, he doesn't notice
