Whew! ... just needed to vent a bit.... we still have it better than a lot of people in the world.
 

Please leave, you won't be missed.

Good timing on this tune as I am having one of those days where any kind of novocaine would be welcome

That "Jesus and his lawyers" line always reminds me of Sam Kinison.

It could just be the version of the song someone uploaded.  There are a lot of different renditions of songs that have been "cleaned up" for radio station airplay (gotta protect the ears and sensibilities of our tender little children, afterall - like they've never heard or dropped the "F-bomb" before...) {#Wink}
 

Miss you so much, Cynaera...

Or did you vote for the one promising you more government goodies?

If the latter, your 'servitude' isn't vile enough.

I like almost all the music, though, and understand why his tunes gets into a lot of movie soundtracks.

 

I quite like Mr Eels.

The trick is that the people you vote for have to what they said they would do. This doesn't happen very often.
