Bye bye buffoon: The final Bush rant »

Prop it 54 Drop it

Bush's impending departure inexplicably caused me to start singing the song "Goodbye Stranger" over and over to myself, I decided to pull the album out from my old LP collection and, sure enough, there they were, the prophetic words of Supertramp talking directly to all those of us who have endured the torturous Bush years. A few samples:

About all of us non-Republicans:

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical...
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, liberal, fanatical, criminal

"The Logical Song"

Bush, in an honest moment, to the country and the world:

I'm a loser, what a joker
I'm playing my jokes upon you
While there's nothing better to do

"Breakfast In America"

Bush, in a reflective mood, to himself:

Cause you're the joke of the neighborhood
Why should you care if you're feeling good...
Does it feel that your life's become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy
When you look through the years and see what you could have been
oh, what you might have been,
if you'd had more time

"Take The Long Way Home"

The world to Bush about the Iraq War:

When everything's dark and nothing seems right,
You don't have to win and there's no need to fight

"Lord Is It Mine"

And, finally, Bush's mantra as he leaves office:

You can laugh at my behavior
That'll never bother me
Say the devil is my savior
But I don't pay no heed...
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain

"Goodbye Stranger"

Who would ever have thought that a ‘70s English prog/art rock band could so perfectly sum up so many feelings at the end of a disastrous presidency that was still decades away? But they did.

And that, thankfully, is the last rant I'll ever have to write about the buffoon named Bush.

Now, Obama, please lead us to a happier place.

All progress comes from unreasonable people.
Rats live on no evil star!
Wasilla: All I saw...
Sorry, just palindroming around with terrorists.
Are you still ...
