"Main Entry: ten·ter·hook Pronunciation: 'ten-t&r-"huk Function: noun : a sharp hooked nail used especially for fastening cloth on a tenter - on tenterhooks : in a state of uneasiness, strain, or suspense"
What are you uneasy about? Not that there's anything to be EASY about in GWB's Amurka.

But hang around, phaseolus -- I've got a whole bunch of lyrics running through my head tonight, with which I'll assail the Lounge after dinner.

C.B.S. and Warner Brothers R.C.A. and all the others
That one I had to think about. I kept skipping over to "life is a rock but the radio rolled me."

And here you go:
I never used to cry 'cause I was all alone...
