Movie, book, album, song titles that make you think of Bush*
Are there any titles of movies, books, albums, songs, etc. that are not explicitly political but compel you to think of Bush* or his cronies/handlers?

Here are two movies that do it for me:

God Told Me To (also known as God Told Me To ...Kill) (horror, 1976, Larry Cohen)

Drunken Monkey (kung fu, 2002, Lau Kar-Leung)

The Beatles song "Everybody's Got Something to Hide (Except for Me and My Monkey)" always makes me think of Cheney.

These days, quite a few of Slayer's song and album titles make me think of the Bush* administration: "The Antichrist," "Evil Has No Boundaries," Reign in Blood, etc., etc.

3. Definitely
A few days ago I was thinking that the Bad Religion song "Incomplete" reminds me not only of Bush*, but also of "The Hollow Men":

mother, father, look at your little monster,
I'm a hero, I'm a zero,
I'm the butt of the worst joke in history,
I'm a lock without a key,
a city with no door, a prayer without faith,
a show without a score,
I'm a bad word, a wink, a nod, a shiver,
an untold story, sex without fury,
a creeping gray memory,
I am incomplete....incomplete....incomplete....incomplete

16. THE SIDESTEP (From : "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas")
THE SIDESTEP
From : "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas"
(Carol Hall)
Charles Durning


Fellow Texans, I am proudly standing here to humbly see.
I assure you, and I mean it- Now, who says I don't speak out as plain as day?
And, fellow Texans, I'm for progress and the flag- long may it fly.
I'm a poor boy, come to greatness. So, it follows that I cannot tell a lie.

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't-
I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step,
cut a little swathe and lead the people on.

Now my good friends, it behooves me to be solemn and declare,
I'm for goodness and for profit and for living clean and saying daily prayer.
And now, my good friends, you can sleep nights, I'll continue to stand tall.
You can trust me, for I promise, I shall keep a watchful eye upon ya'll...

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't-
I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step,
cut a little swathe and lead the people on.

Now, Miss Mona, I don't know her, though I've heard the name, oh yes.
But, of course I've no close contact, so what she is doing I can only guess.
And now, Miss Mona, she's a blemish on the face of that good town.
I am taking certain steps here, someone somewhere's gonna have to close her down.

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't-
I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step,
cut a little swathe and lead the people on.

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep...

And, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step...

Cut a little swathe and lead the people on.

17. I've got another one: Operation Dumbo Drop
I think that's my new nickname for the Kerry campaign (Bush being "Dumbo" the elephant, of course.)
