It'll get a lot of use over time as the individual neocons who started war for empire & profit croak.

and for the entire family of Bush's to see the Grand Royale kicking Hillary gives Jeb in the general election in 2016.
That is what I want to see.

to continue the agenda of President Obama, Jeb needs to be defeated by Hillary Clinton in a major landslide of Dukakisian/McGovern proportions.

And when Jeb is defeated, on stage at the convention with Hillary-Biden-Obama-Michelle-Bill-and Elizabeth Warren and all the others holding their hands up high...

the Dixie Chicks can sing "They are ready to make nice" again.

Dance in victory, not in negativity.

You Haven't Done Nothin'

"You Haven't Done Nothing"

We are amazed but not amused
By all the things you say that you'll do
Though much concerned but not involved
With decisions that are made by you

But we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
"You haven't done nothing"!

It's not too cool to be ridiculed
But you brought this upon yourself
The world is tired of pacifiers
We want the truth and nothing else

And we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
"You haven't done nothing"!

Jackson 5 join along with me say
Doo doo wop - hey hey hey
Doo doo wop - wow wow wow
Doo doo wop - co co co
Doo doo wop - naw naw naw
Doo doo wop - bum bum bum
Doo doo wop

We would not care to wake up to the nightmare
That's becoming real life
But when mislead who knows a person's mind
Can turn as cold as ice un hum

Why do you keep on making us hear your song
Telling us how you are changing right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
"You haven't done nothing"!
Yeah

Jackson 5 sing along again say
Doo doo wop
Doo doo wop - oh
Doo doo wop - co co co
Doo doo wop - sing it baby
Doo doo wop - bum bum bum
Doo doo wop - um
Sing it loud for your people say
Doo doo wop - um um um

Doo doo wop - stand up be counted, say
Doo doo wop - co co co
Doo doo wop - ow
Doo doo wop - bum bum bum
Doo doo wop - ah hum

Once carried through the current and being swept away
The king is in the closet, he's hiding from today
And though he owns all fortunes, this room is where he'll stay
And his world is filled with darkness, turning gray.

Gazing out the window of the 42nd second floor
He is separate from all others, no one knocks upon his door
And it might as well be raining 'cause the sunlight hurts his eyes
And his ears will never hear the children's cries.

Once proud and full of passion, He fought the Cause of Man
Many people loved his courage, many followed his command
He changed the old into the new and the course of things to come
And then one day they noticed he was gone.

At first it didn't matter, nobody seemed to care
They all became too busy to find him anywhere
So no one knew, not even him, the problems he would find
On the day he journeyed deep into his mind

I close my eyes I go far away, away from this battlefield
In my dreams, well, here I will enjoy it
Where innocence plays with
all the laughing children
The kind who are crying right now

A taste of freedom from the pain of everything here I see
Life is sweet but I took it all for granted
And now I don't know if I can even tell you
Just what we permit, we allow

Allow me to forget the life I've made my own
I've held this nation in my hand and yet it's not my home
Oh, allow me just one answer and one reason why
Why this refugee of the family of man must die!
Tell me why

Daydreams filled his night-times and night dreams filled his days
Confusion and uncertainty, a puzzled mind of haze
You thought he was so powerful and set upon his ways
But he left us all to follow through this maze

I heard the king was dying, I heard the king was dead
And with him died the chronicles that no one ever read
The closet's fully empty now, it's occupied by none
I'll draw the drapes, now destiny is done.


(my emphases...)
