“This is a song called Livin’ In the Future. But it’s really about what’s happening now. Right now. It’s kind of about how the things we love about America, cheeseburgers, French fries, the Yankees battlin’ Boston… the Bill of Rights [holds up microphone, urging crowd to cheer] … v-twin motorcycles… Tim Russert’s haircut, trans-fats and the Jersey Shore… we love those things the way womenfolk love Matt Lauer. But over the past six years we’ve had to add to the American picture: rendition, illegal wiretapping, voter suppression, no habeus corpus, the neglect of our great city New Orleans and its people, an attack on the Constitution. And the loss of our young best men and women in a tragic war. This is a song about things that shouldn’t happen here—happening here.”

It about time. Too little too late but better than nuthin', I guess. He lost me years ago when he had the opportunity, the influence and the power and did what we all did, I guess...not a freekin thing.
"I wish for a bright future for all human beings and the dawn of the liberation of and freedom for all humans, and the rule of love and affection all around the world, as well as the elimination of oppression, hatred, and violence, a wish which I expect will be realized in the near future". -- MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD
Yeah well, he might as well add to the list the murder of an obscene number of Iraqi's, (called genocide if you're Jewish), the displacement of millions of Iraqi's, the sell out of our constitution to the corporate PIGS, and the use of 911 to incorporate the fascist BushCheneyInc regime complete with Jerkoff of Fatherland security. Shout it from the rooftops. At the top of your lungs. NOW.

Let's go living in the past.
Remember, idiot Republicans wanted to use Born in the USA and Bush wanted to use Come Together as their theme songs, without a CLUE what the lyrics meant. They'll just figure ol Bruce likes rendition as much as apple pie.
Yep....We Can't Make It Here Anymore -

Others have reported problems posting youtube embeds. I found it didn't work if I copied the HTML from a past 4um posting but did work if I copied from youtube's site directly. Where did you get the code for your postings?

Mark If America is destroyed, it may be by Americans who salute the flag, sing the national anthem, march in patriotic parades, cheer Fourth of July speakers - normally good Americans who fail to comprehend what is required to keep our country strong and free - Americans who have been lulled into a false security (April 1968).---Ezra Taft Benson, US Secretary of Agriculture 1953-1961 under Eisenhower
They were copied/pasted directly from YouTube...since I can't see pics here, I didn't know if the problem was in my machine, or what?

For some reason, everything that we copied, is not getting pasted - it seems. I don't see the square w/dot here. I can't see images here, but the videos always came through like a champ.
The problem started when Neil fixed the New Message snafu...
It's right after the above.
