Call Me Jesse

Jesus was a community organizer…. Pontius Pilate was a governor.

It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these, time and time again

I, I’m a new day rising
I’m a brand new sky to hang the stars upon tonight
But I, I’m a little divided
Do I stay or run away and leave it all behind

It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these, time and time again

The huddled masses have been awaiting my political endorsement as if it were Groundhog’s day and my announcement should bring either extended famine or gracious reprieve. Be anxious no longer for my word is upon you. I gladly endorse the only democratic candidate who is both qualified and electable: obviously John Edwards is our man…. whats that? he already dropped out? Alas, my timing isn’t what it used to be. Well, I always thought he’d make a good Vice President as well…. whats that? he said VP doesn’t interest him? Buckle up then folks, its gonna be a bumpy ride. Plenty of polarized politics to go around for everyone. Don’t expect any middle ground; these candidates are prepared to swing far and wide if thats what it takes to distinguish themselves. Perhaps that was Edward’s downfall; he was just too likable, too much a man of the people. Reminding the middle class that exploitative elitists pose more threat to their way of life than terrorists just didn’t strike enough fear into the populace. As if America needs another decade or two of foreign turmoil before our domestic shortcomings become apparent. America is no stranger to electing the aged; perhaps Edwards will have the courage to run again by 2016. We should be so lucky.

Here I go! Geronimo! Vertigo to free fall
The girl sets my heart racing, but my engine is stalled
Now I pace myself ’cause I gotta stay in front man
Blast like an astronaut, crash like a stunt man
To worlds where witty boys get the pretty girls they merit
But she holds the saddle, the stick, the carrot
So I rise like degrees in July or fall faster
Luck is a lady, but I wouldn’t put it past her
As she fills me with thrills like a roller coaster Or slams me with amps
like a bath with a toaster
Now my knees are shaking and I find my spine is gone
From holding up the pedestal that I’ve put her on
I should’ve studied science cause I tend to forget
That for every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction
Well I must’ve slept through that one, cause now I’m on thin ice with
no traction

Is she thinking of you? No she just thought she knew me
But she’s looking at you! No she’s looking through me
And now I realize I’ve got no shape or size to the girl with the world in
her eyes
So I keep bouncing

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Or concede to Morrissey that pretty girls make graves
I’ve shed the serpents skin and lost my head like Ann Boleyn
While rough winds do shake the darling buds of May
I ask you for this glance through vast expanse of thin veneers
Steered by butterfly eyes while drinking drinks of siren’s tears
I fear the reaper cause it’s hard like heavy metal
When the beasts that you beat off are handsome devils
Yet, the consequence of compliments
Is that I am graced with graces periodic like the elements
Her imminence influences subatomics
So I want to do her right
Like Shakespeare does a sonnet
I’m on it. Harassed by bees in bonnets
Slave to her affection like gramps to gin and tonics
Loyal to my master like a pack of Pekinese
While I try to hold my place with weakened knees

Is she thinking of you? No she just thought she knew me
But she’s looking at you! No she’s looking through me
And now I realize I’ve got no shape or size to the girl with the world in
her eyes
So I keep bouncing

Maybe I should call you up so we can spend some time together
Take a walk or have some dinner, I don’t care I’ll do whatever
My heart shivers every single time I get a busy signal Can I get an
operator?
So you know if she said bounce with me, I’d bounce with her
Cause every minute that I’m in it counts with her
There’s only one sin I wouldn’t renounce for her
And if she gave me half a glance then I would counsel her
That she should bounce with me, so I can bounce with her
Cause every minute that I’m in it really counts with her
There’s only one sin I wouldn’t renounce for her
But do I have a chance!

Is she thinking of you? No she just thought she knew me
But she’s looking at you! No she’s looking through me
And now I realize I’ve got no shape or size to the girl with the world in
her eyes
So I keep bouncing

Yeah, she’s got the world in her eyes

Little Birdie, Little Birdie

Come, sing to me your song,

I’ve a short time to stay here,

And a long time to be gone,

I’d rather be in some dark hollow,

Where the sun don’t ever shine,

Than to see you be someone’s darlin’

And to know you’ll never be mine,

Little Birdie, Little Birdie,

What makes you fly so high,

It’s because my own true love,

Is waiting in the sky,

Little Birdie, Little Birdie,

Come sing to me your song,

I’ve a short time to stay here,

And a long time to be gone.

—OK so we all know FOX news is biased; no need for persuasion, this simply highlights their laughable attempt to pass off propaganda as actual news…. Look at this Poll of registered voters written by FOX news and conducted on their behalf by Opinion Dynamics Corp. (900 participants hardly makes any survey legitimate, especially when the questions are so outlandishly biased)

AND I QUOTE: 
Most people — 87 percent — say they have said a prayer for the troops, and another 77 percent have prayed for the war in Iraq to end. A much smaller 54 percent majority of Americans say they have prayed for the president.

Among groups, Democrats (80 percent) and Republicans (76 percent) are about equally likely to say they have prayed for the war to end, and women (80 percent) are only slightly more likely than men (73 percent) to have done so.

Republicans (74 percent) are twice as likely as Democrats (37 percent) to have included the president in their prayers, while just over half (52 percent) of independents have prayed for Bush.

Appealing to a higher authority on behalf of the president does not appear to be influenced by gender, as about as many men (51 percent) as women (56 percent) say they have prayed for Bush.

“It’s interesting to see the parallel between overall voter sentiment toward the president and the relatively reduced likelihood to pray for him,” says Ernest Paicopolos, principal of Opinion Dynamics. “It’s also striking to see a more than 30-point gap between prayer for the troops and prayer for the commander-in-chief of those same troops.”

In general, more Republicans (64 percent) than Democrats (53 percent) and independents (48 percent) say they pray every day. Southerners (66 percent) are 20 percentage points more likely than those living in the Northeast (46 percent) to pray daily.

Overall, a 56 percent majority of Americans says they pray every day, including 64 percent of women and 47 percent of men.

Another 17 percent say they pray several times a week and 7 percent several times a month. Few Americans — 7

—Those statistics are only a summation not revealing the actual questions, next is an example of the type of question asked: “Do you personally believe the world would be a better place if America loses the war in Iraq?”

another laughable headline on the page reads “Barack Obama stops waring his American flag lapel pin.”
