That blog is full of spyware and flash crap and creepy crawly things. Why not just post the entire article if you deem it worthy? Save us all the bugs.

ponderous, humorless Bruce Springsteen, who has not released a song that will linger in any sort of canon since President Reagan was in office

The draft dodger will have to come up with something for this worthless POS living in our White House.

Here is the article. Hardly worth excerpting.

************

Despite the fact that Osama Bin Laden is still apparently dead, the approval rating for Barack Obama just sunk for the first time under 40%. According to Gallup, the approval rating for the occupier of the White House was at 39%, while the disapproval rating was at 54%. (Racism, obviously!)

There are so many possibilities for songs that could accompany this development. However, Philadelphia Jewish Culture Examiner goes back a quarter-century to the still-possibly-ironically-given-this-particular-case-titled Born in the U.S.A. album by the ponderous, humorless Bruce Springsteen, who has not released a song that will linger in any sort of canon since President Reagan was in office. Those who have seen Amadeus may understanding what this writer means in saying that Springsteen is apparently a Salieri for our era. (Actually, more of a Salieri for the era in which The Jeffersons was on the prime-time air.)

This is of course the Bruce Springsteen, aka “The Boss,” who spoke on October 4, 2008 at an Obama rally/concert on Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia. Springsteen enlightened the crowd, among other things, that “what we really need is someone to lead us on an American reclamation project” and that “we remain for many, many people this house of dreams, and 1,000 George Bushes and 1,000 Dick Cheneys will never be able to tear that house down.”

(Springsteen was introduced, by the way, by Angelo Cataldi of the sports-oriented 610 WIP Morning Show. Later that month, on the tremendous morning after the Phillies won the World Series, Cataldi thought it was appropriate to use the most celebratory occasion during his many years on the air to feature and thus provide such-regular-Phillies-fans!!! P.R. for Jill Biden and Obama campaign adviser David Plouffe. Somehow the subject of supporting Obama never seem to come up these days when Cataldi is on the air.)

So, anyhow, the Song of the Day is the self-explanatorily-titled “I’m Goin’ Down.”

A version of the song on Youtube can be accessed via this link.

Just think about the song’s lines “I remember back when we started/ My kisses used to turn you inside out.”

Hahahaha.
