Remember last week I wondered if they'd play "Barracuda" for Palin? What can I say, I'm a visionary -- but not as much of one as Dirty Harry when it comes to Heart(less). Stan and Ollie -- I mean, Nancy and Ann object to the use of "their" song for a politician they oppose.
Ask Chrissy Hines how that worked out when she objected to Rush's bumper music.
Next I wonder if the mighty B.B. King will object when 0bamba changes his campaign theme song to "The Thrill is Gone".
Rasmussen indicates the race is back to a dead heat. We won't see any of the effects of McCain's acceptance speech before Monday and the weekend polls tend to skew Democrat. The Palin factor is just starting to be seen today.
Let's go back to the Wilson sisters for a moment. "Barracuda", so they say, is a slam against the corporate structure of greed -- you know, The Man, baby. How is it that commercial musicians like the Wilsons, Mellencougar or whatever, and so many others think they are anti-corporation?
They took the money.
Oops, gotta go. Have a good weekend.
Perhaps it may turn out a sang,
Perhaps turn out a sermon.

"They took the money" -> Bingo!
Another oldie but a goodie: "Only in America" do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.
