iPOD, THEREFORE I AM: THE HERETIK ON THE BUSH RANDOM TEN

SO NOW WE FIND OUT BUSH JUNIOR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO PROGRAM HIS OWN iPOD? The Heretik is reminded of that disastrous moment Big Voodoo Bush Daddy had when he was lost in the supermarket and could no longer shop happily.  Out of touch, out of mind, never mind? When are people going to wake up to reality?  Maybe we will find out what else Bush doesn't have time to do.  Anybody with any ideas should comment.  Comment a lot.

BY THE TUNES YE SHALL KNOW THE MAN (or the woman).
Who hasn't embarassed themselves by revealing their personal musical taste?  It is now easy to see why Bush is so in favor of de-regulation of the air waves and giving it over to Clear Channel and its all the same all the time happy talk music all over the place. >>> Because Bush has given over the rather large air space between his ears to somebody else to program.
By the music you shall know . . . . or not.

The obvious choice here is Political Science by Randy Newman. Has lyrics that the Busheviks would really dig, like:

No one likes us-I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens

We give them money-But are they grateful?
No they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us-so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them

Yessiree, definitely the mantra of the Bush Administration!

- Badtux the Songwritin' Penguin

Or we can give him one of my very own tunes:

I Got Mine(The Republican Song)
Copyright 1998 Eric Lee Green

Well I have lots of money
and the car of my dreams
and a house on the hill
that's as rich as it seems
Well I spend lots of money
on things I don't need
and laugh at the people
who complain about greed

'cause
I got mine, Lord, I got mine
oh I got mine, Lord, oh I got mine
[Cue: Guitar solo from Deliverance]

Well I bought me a wife
a trophy to keep
she gave me two kids
I only like them asleep
They go to the best private
schools in this town
I vote against taxes
for schools falling down

'cause
I got mine, Lord, I got mine
oh I got mine, Lord, oh I got mine.

Well some folks they tell me
that I ought to share
Well some folks they tell me
that I ought to care
that people are starving
in some other place
but I keep forgettin'
that they have a face

'cause
I got mine, Lord, I got mine
oh I got mine, Lord, oh I got mine

Well the preacher he asks me
to give to the poor
well I tell him to stuff it
and walk out the door
well a poor man walked up
and he asked me for for work
well I called the the cops
they beat him into the dirt

'cause
I got mine, Lord, I got mine
oh I got mine, Lord, oh I got mine

Well they say I can't take it
when it's time to go
but I don't care now
I'm enjoyin' it so
well I'll give all my money
on the day that I die
to the Republican party
and politicians that lie

'cause
I got mine, Lord, I got mine
oh I got mine, Lord, oh I got mine.
