Oh-ho YES, I'm the GREAT Suspender...
Pretending that I'm doing well.
My need is such I suspend too much.
I'm losing but no one can tell.

Oh yes, I'm the great suspender;
Adrift in a world of my own.
I play the game, but to my real shame,
The voters have left me alone.

So real is this feeling of make believe.
So real when I feel what my heart can't conceive.

(Apologies to Buck Ram.)

1. Oh come ON. I thought this was timely.
Funny?
At least clever?
Maybe?

4. I liked it!
Most people are probably just preoccupied on debating whether or not Bill Clinton is trying to sabotage the election...

13. It has a funny - cleverness to it.
I suppose you would have to see through McSame's suspenders first, before reading this. But it's on the right track toward McSame and his suspensions.

Another big word is "brink". On the brink or edge of financial disaster - as Bush said. Now go back and look at what he said about Iraq and WMD's. It was an "imminent threat". Now compare definitions of "imminent threat" to on the word brink".

9. My Palin song to the theme of "Rawhide" didn't get any notice either
Edited on Thu Sep-25-08 02:37 PM by aint_no_life_nowhere
Keep Palin Palin Palin
Though they're disapprovin'
Keep that Palin movin', Palin!
Don't try to understand her
Just a teleprompter hand her
Rush will be livin' high and wide.
John's heart's calculatin'
The White House will be waitin'
Waitin' at the end of his bus ride.

Move her up, head her up,
Head her up, move her out,
Move her up, head her out, Palin!
Set her out, hide her out,
Hide her out, let her out,
Cut her out, hide her out,
let her out, Palin.


I like your Great Suspender, for what it's worth.
