The Hill: Speaker Johnson has a Plan C. Expects vote this morning

Although this report has no details, I expect that there is a very slimmed down CR with no controversial additions and for a very limited duration.

Sometimes, you have to actually touch the hot stove to learn a lesson.

Like The Kinks sang; "Give the People what they want"

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

Give the people what they want

Well, it's been said before, the world is a stage
A different performance with every age
So, open the history book to any old page
Bring on the lions and open the cage

Give the people what they want
You gotta give the people what they want
The more they get, the more they need
And every time they get harder and harder to please

The Roman promoters really did things right
They needed a show that would clearly excite
The attendance was sparse. So, they put on a fight
Threw the Christians to the lions and sold out every night

Give the people what they want
You gotta give the people what they want
The more they get, the more they need
And every time they get harder and harder to please

Give 'em lots of sex, perversion and rape
Give 'em lots of violence and plenty to hate
Give the people what they want
Give the people what they want, whoo

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

When Oswald shot Kennedy, he was insane
But still we watch the re-runs again and again
We all sit glued while the killer takes aim
"Hey, Mom. There goes a piece of the president's brain!"

Give the people what they want
You gotta give the people what they want
Blow out your brains and do it right
Make sure it's prime time and on a Saturday night

You gotta give the people what they want
You gotta give the people what they want
Give the people what they want
Give the people what they want
Give the people what they want
