I find this funny because I, too, am guilty of mixing my priorities.

This guy collected links, and links, and more links to Republican hypocrisy, then put them all in one post. It’s like an unfiltered dump of Daily Show brainstorming.

Inimitable. But it made me wonder, for the umpteenth time in the last four years, where are all the protest songs? What happened to music as a political outlet? And don’t give me John Mayer. That song could have been so much more than it was. Poking sly fun at your own fan base is one thing, testifying against your irresponsible government is another. I want the latter.

Maybe we just don’t hear it on today’s radio. Which is a whole ‘nother rant.
