A Theme Song for DU; A Political Statement, and a Tuneful Frolic For All.
(With apologies to Rodgers & Hammerstein, Julie Andrews and music lovers anywhere. To the tune of "My Favorite Things." Why aren't these lyrics posted to the Lounge? This is my best political statement. I hope you enjoy it.)

Bush numbers nose diving, Fitzgerald subpoenas,
Impeachment arriving, Colbert’s bitter teases.
O’Reilly’s falafel, Oxycontin stings,
These are a few of DU’s favorite things.

Missteps by Bill Frist, Duke Cunningham’s capture,
McCain smooches Falwell, just Dems at the Rapture.
Ann Coulter in trouble for bad vote this spring,
These are a few of DU’s favorite things.

Spy guys are busted, Kate Harris disasters,
Gay marriage condemned then they’re caught shortly after.
Heckuva job, Brownie, just wait till Jack sings,
These are a few of DU's favorite things. . .

When the Veep shoots,
When Bush tax cuts,
When the war drives me mad,
I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don’t feeeeeel so bad!

(bonus verse)

FReepers evolving, despite protestations,
Bush fraud recognized by so many more nations,
With courage and insight to high hopes we cling.
These are a few of DU’s favorite things!

2. Many thanks. I worked hardest ever on this post; it was a joy.
I am so glad you enjoyed it. I modestly think it's worth a look - and a singalong - as well.

5. I am bumping this in honor of Karl Rove.
I thought it was pretty good, as four people viewed it and they all voted it for Greatest Page. It seems somehow appropriate amongst the good cheer tonight.
