Having returned last evening from the "wars" at one of the Washington area consultant companies, I lack the spirit or energy to find something to post on amuse each other for today. pl

Given that Tom Petty has declined to allow Michelle Bachman to use his song “American Girl” as her campaign theme song, which other song would be most appropriate?

Frabjous,
I'd say 'Danger zone', though she won't get the joke or the permission.

A little proof of Nightsticke's observations from your post "ignatius-on-the-hidden-cost-of-ct"
"The mindset and the practices that failed us and disgraced us abroad are now "blowing back" to us at home. Militarized local cops,TSA gropers, USDA wanna-be SWAT teams,warrantless surveillance,WDC locked down normally like Pyongyang,etc etc."

Pepe Escobar: “NATO’s mix of arrogance and incompetence is inevitably leading towards a balkanization of Libya – a scenario Asia Times Online has already predicted. Considering almost two million machine-guns have already been distributed among the population, and assuming NATO will end up daring to put boots on the ground – the only way to win a decisive “victory” – one may imagine the absolutely dire consequences in terms of very bloody urban combat.”
Plus, China out, France in. Plus there are more reports of French & British plans that pre-date the Arab Spring.

Just finished reading the article on the Saudis/Bush and 911. What did Bush know and when did he know it? Cheney has been very quiet lately, is he in hiding?

No doubt that it would have to be "Kill the Poor" by Dead Kennedys

The debt ceiling. Seems to me a lot of people, especially the bond market, are dismissing the possibility of chaos on the basis of "...they can't be that crazy."

The music's public domain, so she could probably pick up a decent recording for cheap.

@ISL:
"Disintegration by the Cure.”
Ooh, dark!

ThomasOfNY,
Good choice, although Jello Biafra would be even quicker to shout "cease & desist" than Petty.
My vote (& a wishful thinking one it is):

Sis
The coven will gather on Farrell's Mountain in August to worship Stonewall. Can you make it? pat

I heard on the radio Petty didn't even get asked, and is p.o'ed. When you are a Friend of Jesus, all of this shall be your domain. . . and you get to keep all your nutty/psychologically-challenged/squidgy bits guilt free, hell, awareness-free, because you are a True Believer.

Seems the Stauss-Kahn case is back in the news. Just who was behind that apparent set up and why? To sabotage the French presidential election, the IMF or French-US relations; or just plain greed?

Missed it by that much...
Howabout "I'm An Old Cowhand" by Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks (or others). It fits in with the current trend of "All hat, no cattle."

Maureen Lang,
Perhaps, though maybe he has a sense of humor, one can hope. Failing that maybe "Cult Of Personality" by Living Colour? Or maybe we should save it for if Palin enters the race...
