If I Were to Run, This Would be My Campaign Song

What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love and Understanding

I won't be using the Nick Lowe or Costello versions (which I also love). I'm going with the ass-kicking loud and pissed off Steve Earle version.

Why that version? Two reasons:

1. I know it would cause people like my previous Greenie Award winner to be so busy blogging themselves silly about the controversial choice they won't notice how badly I would be kicking the ass of their candidate in the polls.
2. More importantly, I like the defiant feel this version gives to the lyrics. I've had it with people equating "democrat" with "wuss". No more. The gloves are off and all you whiners are being called out. If it's a fight you want, you've got it.
   

I'm done being a politician, I think I'll just be a leader now.

As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.

I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

And each time I feel like this inside,
There's one thing I wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

The time of ridiculing those who want a better world for ourselves and future generations is over. I've had enough.

Republican4Life - Greenie Awards

After seeing the backlash over Live Earth driven by those who are so content suckling on the fossil fuel teat I decided I would institute the first annual "Greenie Awards" to be given to the biggest jackasses across the internet. The first Greenie goes to the proud soul known as 'republican4life" on the cafepharma boards. I know, I know who would have thought that someone who makes a living by pushing processed chemicals would not be in my camp? Shocking.

Here's a brief quote from this genius:

"How about this libs?

To be fair, why don't we have a concert that's pro-America? We can have real singers like Tede NUgent, Skynyrd and proud country artists talk about pride and debunk Gore's bs.

As for me, I don't hate America or money so I used up more energy this wekeend then ever! LOL"

I don't know who this "Tede NUgent" fellow is, but that doesn't look like a very Pro-American name to me. As for the "proud" country artists... Pride is one of the Seven Deadly Sins, so I don't see any need to have them around (unless you mean Willie which I am sure that you don't). I am a Christian after all, and I wouldn't want to associate with those who wish to sings songs about shoving footwear up the asses of others (I must have missed that line in the Bill of Rights). Not much to be proud of if you ask me.

So enjoy your Greenie "republican4life" and don't call me when your Hummer runs out of gas on the way to the NASCAR race and your Milwaukee's Best just won't stay cold because it's so flingin flangin hot outside.

Congrats you fine pillar of society!
