Song for McCain
Well John McCain has clinched enough for the nomination for the Republican Party. He is heading off to the White House today to chat with President Bush. Like many others on the right, of various ilks, I have had my doubts about the man. However he has got the nod and I know he is far better than the two from the other side.
Now we have all heard about all the musos and actors sucking up to Obama by endorsing him. We hear that the guy from the Black Eyed Peas has written a song for him; as well as Pearl Jam writing a tune as well. We shan’t talk about Stevie Wonder’s lame dirge for the man.
Well this blog has at least two lyricists writing for it. Alas, because of my chemo, I am unable to get together with my band to put any music to this but I have done my bit to write up a few lyrics that might work as a theme song. Of course, I would love him to use Cry Freedom as his theme.
Its called McCain the Man
We wavered a bitNo comments
Some had a fit
but McCain is the man
to keep with the planHe served his country
In so many brave ways
He’ll keep things going
Under his keen gazeFrom the prison in Nam
to the floor of the Senate
He fights for his ideals
Always in the debateHe’‘ll brings things together
After all in the end
America’ll be on the mendHe’ll bring us all together
Yes in the end
Americas on the mendWhen the nation needs
He will be there for her
When she bleeds
McCain will deliver

As the economy slips the Labour Party is drifting back into their old socialist ways. Class warfare, albeit a bit more sutble, is creeping back into their modus operandi with a vengeance.

Gary Gygax misses his saving throw and passes into the void. Thanks Gary for the great game that has become such a great part of the gaming culture.
Very sad day for all those who loved pen & paper gaming in their youth. I spent many very pleasant hours playing D&D in both prep school and college. Without him the whole RPG thing would not have caught on. He will be sadly missed by all who like a good game and some good imagination.

White Men Still Can’t Jump
The Minnesota Timberwolves’ Rashad McCants shoots a jumper in a game last night. In related news, Kyle Korver of the Utah Jazz has apparently spotted a spider or a mouse or something real icky on the floor.
