16. You can download the song (not the video)
free from McMurtry's site. Even those of us with dialup can start the download and come back later (about 8M).

25. "Hush little president, don't say a word"
McMurtry's also releasing another anti-Bush, anti-Iraq war song for free download:
http://www.compadrerecords.com/downloadpages/godblessamerica.html

Some of the lyrics:
"Negotiation's just no fun
and it don't serve our interests none
Gonna turn up the heat til it comes to a boil
So we can go get that Arab oil

We'll suck it all up through the barrel of a gun
Every day's the End of Days for some
Republicans don't cut and run
Tell me ain't you proud of what we've done?

Keep talkin' that shit like I never heard
Hush little president, don't say a word
When the Rapture comes and the angels sing
God's gonna buy you a diamond ring"

27. Powerful! I really hate republicans! F'ing Reagan!
Thom Hartman play a quote from Rush: "FDR is dead, his policies aren't, but we're working to remedy that." :grr: What the hell is wrong with working class republicans? Why don't they get that their rich leaders don't give a rat's a$$ about them?

34. I Ain't Gonna Fight in a Rich Man's War
When the video was over I clicked the next link to this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-FqlSZ8nrY

"Rich man's war, poor man's fight"

Catchy tune, too.

36. Poignant material
does anyone else get the sense that the anti-Administration sentiment is really starting to gain some traction across the country?
