Name a song that best describes Howard Dean.
"Tom Sawyer" by Rush

A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride,
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride.

Though his mind is not for rent,
Don't put him down as arrogant.
His reserve, a quiet defense,
Riding out the day's events.
The river

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
-Catch the mist -Catch the myth
-Catch the mystery -Catch the drift.

The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his skies are wide.

Today's Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the space he invades
He gets by on you.
No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government.
Always hopeful, yet discontent,
He knows changes aren't permanent,
But change is.

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
-Catch the witness -Catch the wit,
-Catch the spirit -Catch the spit.

The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his eyes are wide.

Exit the warrior,
Today's Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the energy you trade,
He gets right on to the friction of the day.

1. This is what I feel we'll be like after he's settled in: "Bomber" by-
Motorhead

Bomber

Ain't a hope in hell,
Nothing's gonna bring us down,
The way we fly,
Five miles off the ground,
Because we shoot to kill,
And you know we always will,
It's a Bomber

Scream a thousand miles,
Feel the black death rising moan,
Firestorm coming closer,
Napalm to the bone,
Because, you know we do it right,
A mission every night,
It's a Bomber

No night fighter,
Gonna stop us getting through,
The sirens make you shiver,
You bet my aim is true,
Because, you know we aim to please,
Bring you to your knees,
It's a Bomber

I Imagen the Dems doing this to the Republicans with him in charge.

12. My first thought was an Elton John song:
I'm not saying that Dr. Dean is a bee-yatch. I guess it's the idea of having a voice and not being afraid to speak up. We sorely need his voice (and a chorous of others) demanding investigation of Gannon-Guckert Gate and the whole sorry corrupt BFEE.


The Bitch Is Back

I was justified when I was five
Raisin' cane, I spit in your eye
Times are changin', now the poor get fat
But the fever's gonna catch you
When the bitch gets back
Oh, oh, oh

Eat meat on Friday, that's all right
Even like steak on a Saturday night
I can bitch the best at your social do's
I get high in the evening
Sniffing pots of glue
Oh, oh,oh

I'm a bitch,
I'm a bitch
Oh, the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
I can bitch,
I can bitch
'Cause I'm better than you
It's the way that I move
The things that I do

I entertain by picking brains
Sell my soul by dropping names
I don't like those! My God, what's that!
Oh, it's full of nasty habits
When the bitch gets back.

13. Tom Petty - I Wont Back Down
Edited on Wed Feb-16-05 10:14 PM by mzmolly
Well I won't back down
No I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down
No, I stand my ground
Won't get turned around
And I keep this world from draggin me down
But I stand my ground and I won't back down
I won't back down
Hey baby there ain't no easy way out hey now
I'll stand my ground and I wont back down
Well I know what's right I got just one line
In a world that keeps on pushing me around
Well I stand my ground and I won't back down
hey baby hey baby hey now I'll stand my ground
And I won't back down
hey baby there ain't no easy way out
hey now I won't back down
hey baby there ain't no easy way out
hey now i'll stand my ground and
I won't back down no I won't back down

:shrug:

Not my favorite song but the words are close to appropriate.
