I read the news today oh, boy...

"I read the news today oh, boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh and
I saw the photograph"



I did read the news today and figure it can't get much worse. I went to watch the news tonight and couldn't handle it. PBS was praising Bolton to the skies. Tweety was putting words in peoples mouths. A CNN weatherman disputed CNN"s own story on global warming.


"He blew his mind out in a car
He didn’t notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They’d seen his face before,
Nobody was really sure if he was from the house of lords."

I think it is my mind that is blown. The outrageous hubris of this group. They counter exposed lies with bigger, bolder lies, as if they are immune from any repercussions.


"I saw a film today oh, boy
The english army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had a look
Having read the book,
I’d love to turn you on..."

When will we be on to the next, even bigger war? Iran with conventional bombs and tactical nukes? That's what turns them on.

"Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.

Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream

Ah

I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in blackburn, lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all,
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the albert hall.
I’d love to turn you on..."
