Who would have guessed that Peggy the Moocher was a sybil

“Because I never thought this day would ever happen. I won’t have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won’t have to worry about paying my mortgage. You know. If I help [Obama], he’s gonna help me.”

[NeoCaveman]

I mean a sibyl not a sybil.

(Apologies to Chicago/Robert Lamm for hijacking their song, Harry Turman
but it is Presidents Day...)

America needs you
Sarah Palin
Sarah could you please come home
Things are looking bad
I know you would be mad
To see what kind of men
Prevail upon the land you love

America's wondering
How we got here
Sarah all we get is lies
We're punished for our cars
And taxed from here to mars
The bastards sold us out
To get themselves a piece of power

We love to hear you speak your mind
In plain and simple ways
Call a tax a tax
Like they did back in the day
Ignore the liberal papers
Each morning jog some miles
Speak of what was going on
With your honesty and style

America's calling
Sarah Palin
Sarah you know what to do
The world is turnin' round, we're losin' lots of ground
Oh Sarah is there something we can do to save the land we love
Oh whoa whoa whoa

America's calling
Sarah Palin
Sarah you know what to do
The world is turnin' round
And losin' lots of ground
So Sarah is there something we can do to save the land we love
Oh
Sarah is there something we can do to save the land we love
Sarah
Sarah is there something we can do to save the land we love

[tioga]

[secret garden]

You mean Red Eye? I’ve seen a few shows and would rather be sleeping. And I never watch CNN or MSNBC but I will be forced to if that’s where they carry hockey this week.

[tioga]
