Posted by: Olema | July 13, 2009 at 09:01 PM Ravens don't grin real well, but I liked seeing this, anyway. Posted by: The Raven | July 13, 2009 at 09:57 PM I just had to sing it out. Don't think I've had that happen on a blog posting before. Posted by: porlockjr | July 13, 2009 at 11:35 PM I'm more partial to something with a more simplistic feel (to emphasize the utter stupidity of it) so, for your consideration: (spoken, (US to California) You're getting to be a big State (California, singing) Our state is just eight score Each day we owe some more Our debt is soaring It’s CaIOU. So many cuts to do Each day is something new To take away from you It’s CaIOU. Our state is turning (to crap) Changing each day With Governor Schwarzenegger Making us pay! (for electing him) Fixing things could be a breeze Perhaps some taxes or some fees But Arnie’s brought us to our knees. It’s CaIOU, CaIOU, CaIOU It’s CaIOU, CaIOU, CaIOU That's us! http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/2009/07/state-fiscal-meltdown-musical-comedy-blogging.html
