Given the 0-man's speech last night, what could be more appropriate?

Rainbow Stew - Merle Haggard

There's a big, brown cloud in the city,
And the countryside's a sin.
An' the price of life is too high to give up,
Gotta come down again.
When the world wide war is over and done,
And the dream of peace comes true.
We'll all be drinkin' free bubble-ubb,
Eatin' that rainbow stew.
When they find out how to burn water,
And the gasoline car is gone.
When an airplane flies without any fuel,
And the satellite heats our home.
One of these days when the air clears up,
And the sun comes shinin' through.
We'll all be drinkin' free bubble-ubb,
An' eatin' that rainbow stew.

Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon,
Underneath that sky of blue.
All be drinkin' free bubble-ubb,
An' eatin' that rainbow stew.

You don't have to get high to get happy,
Just think about what's in store.
When people start doin' what they oughta be doin',
Then they won't be booin' no more.
When a President goes through the White House door,
An' does what he says he'll do.
We'll all be drinkin' free bubble-ubb,
Eatin' that rainbow stew.

Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon,
Underneath that sky of blue.
We'll all be drinkin' that free bubble-ubb,
Eatin' some rainbow stew.

Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon,
Underneath that sky of blue.
All be drinkin' that free bubble-ubb,
Eatin' rainbow stew.

Taxed by Mileage -- Rural Route's money to support urban dweller's deficits....

This particular proposition is the continuation of the population centers of the US being propped up by the taxes of those of us who choose to live in the country.

Gas WILL be going up.

The problem is that outside of the non-acceptable intrusion into our privacy, the money collected will not go to the roads YOU drive on. It will go where the central government decides - after the general budget takes a 90% cut. Like all of these rip-offs, the money never ends up where the government says it will....

We're outvoted, folks. We already spend more to drive, and we'll be disproportionately taxed to support those less self-sufficient....


Those of us who want nothing to do with the government dole and it's inevitable control will soon be considered insurgents in what used to be our own land.

Nationwide Gerrymandering with the Census....

Hummmm... seems we've seen this before: From the Republicans in Texas.

This time it's the Democrats and the nationwide census.

HERE is a well-balanced article on what seems to be a very aggressive power-play that is getting no time in the "mainstream press".

I wonder why?

Talk about Gerrymandering.

This Modern World....

Will Kimbrough: "This Modern World"

Truer words were never:

"...Run right through the milk and honey,
plum outta faith and love,
but we ain't gonna run out of money,
when push comes to shove...

Sweet Jesus, is it really gonna rain down fire and brimstone on our heads?"

Why don’t you say what you mean?
You’re just mouthing the right words
Just like you’re perfectly made for this modern world
I’m just an old-fashioned boy
Can't get up for the down-beat
I don’t think that I can compete in this modern world….”
