It's time for a new national anthem. "The Star-Spangled Banner" is so 1812. We need something that's more reflective of the true character and majesty of American government in this, the Year of Our Lord Vader, 2005. And something you can maybe, like, dance to. My nomination:
Everybody knows
That the world is full of stupid people
So meet me at the mission at midnight
We'll divvy up there
Everybody knows
That the world is full of stupid people
But I got the pistol so I keep the pesos
That seems fair
-- "Banditos," by the Refreshments [Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy, 1996]
Your turn. Rules: Close your eyes. Meditate on the essential natures of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Congress and the nine ninnies in black robes. Imagine what their theme song might be if they took time out of the organized crime racket to put together a focus group and choose a theme song. Click Comment and share.
