"Instead of pushing the funding (for hurricane defense) up, they took most of it away to fight this stupid war, and that's unforgivable. I think Bush is just about the poorest president we've ever had. You'd have to go back before I was born to find a worse one."
- 77-year-old singer Burt Bacharach

"Beware of the Blob.
It creeps and leaps and glides and slies across the floor--right to the door, and all around the wall; a splotch; a blotch.
Be careful of the Blob."
Burt Bacharach
from "The Blob," recorded by The Zanies, Doré Records, 1958;
also by The Five Blobs, Columbia Records, 1958
To: Taft in '52
Burt is a musical genius but and stick to music.

It's kind of strange when you discover that someone is still alive and totally irrelevant when you thought they were long since dead!

I thought he was talking about FDR until I got my calculator out.

I didn't know this POS was still using up good air. Is this the only way he can get his name in print?

It's kind of strange when you discover that someone is still alive and totally irrelevant when you thought they were long since dead!Burt is still going strong. Frankly, he's writing as good or better than he ever has.
Hat tip to Burt for his incredible talent, but he should zip it.

Hurricane defense? How does one defend against a hurricane? Build high walls? Create an anti-hurricane defense unit? What?
Some entertainers need to
And others just need to SHUT-UP!!!

The Left's ignorance is breathtaking. Hate Bush for his beliefs on Life, Communism, Terrorists, "Pride", Taxes, Freedom (vs Environment, Gov, etc) but don't just spew hate based on ignorance. I think a lot of people out there hate W because of their own gender-neurosis but then have to assume he is wrong about everything else.

We know someone who has'nt taken his medicine.

IMHO. His popular songs have a good hook, but the bridges are lacking.

I'm glad when these dopes *out* themselves -- Sheryl Crowe, George Clooney, Celine Dion, Cher, Madonna, Sean Penn -- it means I can add another celebrity to my "don't patronize" list.

Burt Bacharach Shouldn't he be doing something really important to revive his fame? Say, guest-starring on the Love Boat?
