{#Doh}Oops, I was obviously thinking of Cracker; thanks for the correction.  I had apparently gotten all befuddled by two different, flour-based bands whose names begin with "C".

And now of course of the Obama Administration. Obama, afterall has continued the legacy of Bush, but bringing it to a new level with lots of covert activities in Iran!

Hell, normally I drive 80.

At least they were conscientious enough to actually set the cover in Times! A nice touch.

I heard the singer David Lowery on a local public radio station last night talking about singing this song in Iraq to the troops with his current band, Cracker.  It was on the show called "The Story."  Here's the link:

Worth checking out!

What is the weather like in that little world that you live in, anyway?

The "stupid people" are not the ones running the country, they are the ditoheads who ate up their pro-wrestling bumper sticker slogans and voted them into power. Like you, for instance...

I like to view this song in a historical context. Many regimes have used the "might makes right" argument. Fairly recent garbage in the Balkans, Hitler, colonialism, Stalin and the gang, etc...

Kind of like the tax office, lol.

With logic like that you'd have to say Hitler was right because he was in charge.

Truly a barf-full song. Listen to the anti-war songs of the '60s. They were powerful and artful. This is adolescent drivel.

Think what you will of the Iraq war, but no one is claiming that might makes right.


Agreed. Especially the adolescent drivel part. It is SO tiresome to continue to hear the Left claim to be smarter than the Right. Didn't November teach them that they needed to come up with a new cliche? Enough with politics everyone!

Yeah I guess you can laugh but it's kindda like dumb and dumber once you've laughed once... well it is a bit pathetic, that some could think... or should I say BELIEVE that way. Anything vast enough to create an entire universe, is not on any side but it's own.
