Subterranean Caucus99 Blues
Bill's in the Beltway basement,
Mixin’ up the medicine,
I’m on the pavement,
Thinkin’ about the government.
Debbie at the DNC,
Rigged it all for Hillary,
Told Bernie to fuck off,
Everybody's pissed off . . .
Look out kid,
It’s somethin’ you did,
God knows when,
But you’re doin’ it again,
You said goodbye to Sanders,
To find yourself a new friend,
You like Jill, but then you see,
Her Green Party and JtC,
Need twenty dollar bills,
You only got ten.
Snowden came fleet foot,
Warning 'bout the fascist boot,
Talkin’ that the heat put,
Plants in the bed but,
His phone’s tapped anyway,
Obama says that many say,
We must be spied on every day,
The Bill of Rights got blown away . . .
Look out kid,
Don’t matter what you did,
Out of shock doctrine shadows,
What’s coming only God knows,
You better stay away from those,
Who shill for Hil at DKos.
When they're sinking down to new lows,
And Truth's hanging on the gallows,
You don’t need a weatherman,
To know which way the wind blows . . .
Get sick, get well,
The Democrats can rot in Hell,
If you protest, farewell . . .
You'll end up in a prison cell,
But try hard, get scarred,
While everyone around you,
Is whistling past the graveyard,
Get jailed, jump bail,
Voting’s been an epic fail.
Look out kid,
You’re gonna get hit,
‘Cause liars, cheaters,
Beltway bottom feeders,
Hangin’ round the Capital,
Every one a corporate tool,
Lookin’ for a new fool.
They're triangulating "leaders",
Of Oligarchy misrule . . .
Real reform, not a chance,
Yes we can meant no we can‘t,
The killers got dressed, got blessed,
For endless war "success",
Since Vietnam we've been in deep,
Fifty years of killing,
And you're so haunted you can't sleep.
Look out kid,
They keep it all hid,
Bush did, Obama did,
Hillary will hide it too,
Nothing she ever says is true,
I don't have to tell you,
The revolution's overdue,
Democracy's doors don't work,
'Cause Wall Street vandals took the handles.
Sorry Bob, here's your song back . . .

The planet can't take much more of this.
Maybe Starman will help us out . . .

Thank you, CantStoptheSignal.
I think that's far too optimistic...
They say that there's a broken light for every heart on Broadway
They say that life's a game and then they take the board away
They give you masks and costumes and an outline of the story
And leave you all to improvise their vicious cabaret-- A. Moore
Starman doesn't need a UFO.
I'm not sure why, don't ask me 'cause I don't know.
Bless you. That is
fucking awesome.

The Lyrics, They Are a Changin' . . .
Thank you, FuturePassed.
Can we interest Robert or Leonard?
Grand lyrics. Smile here.
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
It's good to smile.
With all the shit going on here in Amerika and overseas, it can be hard to remember what a smile is, and what it feels like.
Thank you, riverlover.
wins the internet!
may it go far and wide.....
bygorry
And may Bob forgive me.
Thank you, bygorry.

Thank you, Joe.
Rusty!
Briliiant from beginning to end!
The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?
I love that sign!
Thank you, Not Henry Kissinger.
I like the sign too and your lyrics - just great /nt

That sign says it all.
Thank you, mimi.
Oh my American wry!
Your parody is world class. The vandals stole the handle but you helped ease my anger about it. Thank you

Please don't stop being angry.
The alternative is futility. I keep going there, sadly.
I wrote it on a cafe napkin in 10 minutes.
Wait . . . that was Dylan writing Blowin' in the Wind.
I'm glad you liked it, thank you, polkageist.
Great family tree!
Absolutely close enough to the method of Napoleon in rags when he was buying the place with beads.
Puts you in a great family tree!
Creosote, why a plastid for an avatar? Very nice, BTW.
Odd how it looks like a fingerprint without whorls.

I hope I don't fall out.
Falling out of a tree isn't any fun at all, I tried it once in 1965.
Thanks, Creosote.
I liked the shape too -
and it was Wikipedia's former illustration for "Mitochondria" and so open source. Plus some idiosyncratic insider metaphoric thoughts . . .
I was a mito person in a former life
but that looks like a plastid to me, not that I ever isolated chloroplasts in my life. Potatoes are a good source of mitos. See? I can rhyme! Plus, I never did microscopy of my product(s), just followed recipes. I did engineer a yeast gfp* to correct anticodon usage for bacteria once, and make green fluorescent* bacteria. Those were the daze.

Great stuff, Rusty!

Thanks, on the cusp.
That was really awesome!
