Song of the Week
The song of the week, which is really a holdover from last week, in honor of the Senate confirmation hearings on Judge Alito to become a Supreme Court Justice is John Lennon's "Gimme Some Truth." Although written 35 years ago, it could still well apply to today's political scene:
I'm sick and tired of hearing things from uptight short-sighted narrow-minded hypocritics
All i want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
I've had enough of reading things by nuerotic pyschotic pig-headed politicians
All i want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
No short haired yellow-bellied son of tricky dicky is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope
I'm sick to death of seeing things from tight-lipped condescending mommies little chauvinists
All i want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
I've had enough of watching scenes of schizophrenic egocentric paranoic prima donnas
All i want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
'Nuf said? I'm just so worried about the future of the country if this guy gets on the Court. He cares more about corporations and cementing government's power grab against the interests of the people. I just wish people would wake up and get a clue. He's going to be in there for another 35 years subverting the will of the people and there's not much we can really do about it. Orrin Hatch is right about one thing: elections have consequences. When are people going to stop voting against their own best interests? Maybe this is an argument for limited terms on the Court. Isn't ten-fifteen years long enough for someone like Antonin Scalia to be screwing up the country (and to guarantee the continued independence of the country's Judiaciary)?
