Somebody please tell me the RNC is already at work on their own version of this for next week, played while showing all the best highlights from Portland.
this Democratic convention is like a more depressing version of the Jerry Lewis Labor Day telethon, and that involved kids with muscular dystrophy.
Someone please talk me off the ledge. I want to win, and the first 22 minutes of this DNC…I’m scared. Can someone tell me how great this is or something?
Imagine having all the awesome creative talent of Hollywood and the entertainment industry at your fingertips and nonetheless this is the convention you produce
“Trump’s authoritarianism is alarming. And now, allow me to say a few words about Fidel Castro’s amazing literacy program, followed by a slideshow of my Soviet honeymoon…” https://t.co/EU5Cs6mafE
Battle lines have been drawn. We’re just waiting for these fools to cross them en masse and we got all the time in the world.

Rolling Stone writer Matt Taibbi announced the traditional drinking game wherein one must drink whenever someone says specific words. In this case it was words like “post office,” “(something something) Mitch McConnell” and “existential threat.” Saying “racist” or “liar” only triggers one drink per hour.
Taibbi suspended the game 12 minutes in, as he was already smashed by then.
It’s not bad enough that a self-absorbed actor decided making it was a good idea and somehow got Stephen for-god’s-sake Stills to agree. I can picture something stupid like that, look at the plague of “celebrity” videos we suffered through at the beginning of the lockdown. But then numerous people, presumably adults, decided that playing this … thing at the 2020 Democratic National Convention was a good thing to do: That this was exactly the look required for the political party that seriously intends to rule the United States of America.

Joel, you chose exactly the right verb. This party plainly does not intend to govern the United States. It intends to rule.

@AndrewCuomo, thank you for your leadership and the example you’ve set for all Americans during this pandemic. #DemConvention…responsible for the most deaths in the country.
There, I finished for you.

Theres something happening here
What it is aint exactly clear
There’s a stiff on guitar over there
Telling me their judgment’s impaired
Its time you stopped, Demos
Whats the deal
Everyone sees whats been concealed
There’s racial lines being dtawn
Colored lives right, but white males always wrong
Old hippies warping young minds
Getting too much resistance from maligned
Its time you stopped …
What a fiasco for the Proggs
Thousands of normals are agog
A sending tweets with a bludgeoning wit
Mostly sayin, what is this crazed shit
Its time …
Virtue signals strike deep
Into your speech they will creep
From now on, your party will fade
Come election time, our wrath will blow you away

The dems seem to be self imploding and no wonder . They’re all batshit crazy !!! Love the new lyrics by the way. Stephen Stills is pathetic. Just get off the stage dude, please !

Oh, thanks, callmelennie, I peed my pants.
Not your fault. I was going to pee my pants anyway.
That was great, anyhwho!

Superb lyrics,Lennie!! Wow factor cranked to 11,nicely done.
The new improved version should be played at the RNC convention. It would be fun to watch the reaction of the assorted progs,commies & batsh*t droolers of the DNC.
They would sh*t themselves lifeless,which is’nt necessarily a bad thing.

Thank you, thank you ladies and gentlemen for your kind comments
You know what they say: laughter and applause cause the exact same reaction in the mind of a comic that the pitiful, hunger fueled yelps of African wild dog puppies cause in their mother: it stimulates a regurgitation of even more material
And indeed that is what happened to me; I have now “fleshed out” my lyrics to cover the entire song. And the end result can be found here
………and these people want to take charge of your healthcare………

Even worse if possible is listening to NPR’s breathless, witless, attempts to convince us each morning that the previous night’s speeches were truly spellbinding.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
