My 5 y.o. grandson is singing "Dear Mr President"
We were listening to Pink's cd on the way home from preschool.

He's in the back room wailin' "You don't know nothin about hard work, hard work, hard work..."

That's my boy! :applause:

9. Easy mistake when chatting online
Actually ex-grandpa is a fence straddler now married to a classic right winged creature. He's a good guy down deep.

Young mom has no political interest at all. She will find this Pink cd in her car's cd player when she returns from Boston. So I remain to be the only voice of reason and liberal views amongst all the other influences.

6. I love, love, love the entire cd
Stupid Girls is a great song, too. I love strong, intelligent lyrics from a female point of view. Pink has a lot of substance that I never realized until I gave this cd a listen.

A Pink/Dixie Chicks concert would be my cup 'o' tea.

4. Here are the lyrics
I don't listen to pop radio, so I've never heard the song. But DU poster KyndCulture was kind and cultured enough to post the lyrics a few weeks ago.

7. My five year old daughter
HATES Bush, she can't even stand to see him on TV. Must be genetic.

Although two days ago, I was in the shower and I hear a rustle outside, I open the curtain and there she is. A towel tied around her neck, running back and forth in the bathroom saying "I'm the Decider! I'm the Decider!" As if it is some kind of super hero! LOL

10. Hahahahaha on that one
Knowing how my grandson zooms around being Spiderman, I can visualize your girl being the Decider. Kinda like Green Goblin, I imagine.

12. PINK
Will wake up the young generations
I am even surprise that PINK has so few exposure in MSM and even DU

PINK - Dear Mr President, will start a pink tsunami across the country, too much truth
The young ones will awaken, the call has been sounded

If the DEMs are smart they use Pink Dear Mr President video ..... Live from New York
to open all elections programme.

Hmm if me in US I go sell tissue cause there me so many wet eyes.

13. I think you're right, OV
I like Cuz I Can, too.

"So I'll cash my checks and place my bets
And hope I'll always win
Even if I don't I'm fucked because
I live a life of sin
But it's alright
I don't give a damn
I don't play your rules
I make my own
Tonight
I'll do what I want
Cuz I can"

That's a powerhouse song too.

14. Well her CD is consider hottest seller in Malaysia
Dont know about US.

In a way she telling people around the world that there are a lot of Americans who does not approve of bush. Hey it help to focus the anti American feeling to the anti bush feeling.

You will need Pink to help heal the wounds cause by bush with the rest of the world.

15. That will take a lot of healing
I can only imagine how bad we are despised in other countries. Especially if everyone thinks we support the Evil Rat Bastard.
