Could his "Excitable Boy" be a little autobiographical?

Well, he went down to dinner in his Sunday best
Excitable boy, they all said
And he rubbed the pot roast all over his chest
Excitable boy, they all said

He took in the four a.m. show at the Clark
Excitable boy, they all said
And he bit the usherette's leg in the dark
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy

He took little Suzie to the Junior Prom
Excitable boy, they all said
And he raped her and killed her, then he took her home
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy
After ten long years they let him out of the home
Excitable boy, they all said
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy

You know, this song, at it's heart, expresses the Liberal point of view brilliantly.

Nobody is Evil, because there is no such thing. (I mean, if you acknowledge that elemental evil exists, over and above basic human nature, then it is just a hop skip and a jump to admitting that Evil's logical twin, Good, exists...and from there you have to admit God exists. If you do that, then we are all judged, and if you do that, we all fail...from there, you have to admit that we are all sinners, and if you do that, then I am required to judge my own behavior as good or evil on some kind of standardized scale such as the Bible, and as a Liberal, I WON'T DO THAT!)

Clearly, to Ms. Pelosi and her ilk, what APPEARS to be evil in the world is just different was of looking at things. (And if that is true, then there is no moral absolute, which means to be a "good" person I need to be understanding, so logically, I am only an "evil" person if I fail to accept other ways of thinking, and by that way of logical reasoning, then raping her and killing her and building a cage with her bones is just a method of expressing oneself, completely divorced from whatever foolish value system my parents or ancestors may have relied on. Logically, I should attempt to dialog with the so-called "terrorists", no wait, "freedom fighters valiantly holding out to maintain their culture against the arrogance and vitriol of the ever growing and expanding American menace that I am ashamed to be part of!" And as a Liberal, I will continue to do that, right up until the point they cut my head off. Which I only deserve, of course, for being part of something as hateful and corrupt as America.)

Whew, hope I never have to channel Liberalism again. That was unsettling.
