That blog entry reminds me of a song I heard at December's Gold Street Music fok club. Called 'Curious George' and written by a local man, here is the refrain:

"Let's give more food to the overfed so they can feed the hungry
More cash to the filthy rich so they can help the poor
Let's give more power to the president to keep us safe and free
Let's send more guns and bombs all around the world to plant the seeds of democracy"
