WEST WING STORY

I am a sap for musicals. Mainly the musicals of my childhood when we would go to Casa Manana in Cowtown and marvel first at the building, "Dad, the building is round", "yes, daughter, a circle is 360 degrees, we are going halfway around...how many degrees will we have gone after we sit down?" 360 DEGREES? Wouldn't we be on fire?" Then marvel at the show.

 I fell in love with West Side Story at the age of 10. It was the most romantic, gritty thing I had ever seen. All that singing and dancing and finger snapping passed for a gang war.

This all got me thinking, wouldn't that be a great way to end the gridlock in Washington D.C.? Have Obama and Bane-r sing and dance and finger snap off to settle the debt issues. What they are doing now is wasting more of our time and money. They already act like two gangs ready to rumble. The Dems and the GOP. The Reds and The Blues.

OPENING NUMBER......

The dems are gonna have their way tonight
The dems are gonna have their way tonight
The GOP is saying, no way
That rich people are paying the bills anyway

Tonight, tonight....we will debate tonight
Tonight we will point fingers and say.....
Tonight, tonight due-ling bullshit tonight
All you DEMS should just do it our waaaaaay

Today all day I had a feeling
That I might be on camera
If I get a sound bite

Oh look at me,
I am so damn much smarter than he.....TONIIIIIIIIGHT

followed by

When you're a DEM your a DEM all the way
From your first senate vote to your last dying day
When you're a DEM you are sneered at by boobs
Who spend all of their time sitting watching FOX NEWS

The Dems lost the house
The GOP was smiling
They talked of "the way"
But now they're only wailing
they can't go sailing

they want to see all their rich cronies stay
Just the way that they are and not pay, just delay
they want to say that the DEMS are all wrong
About every old thing, it's the same damn old song

The dems are pink-os
They talk of socialism
The Reds want to win
To save their fancy buddies from real-ism

Then in the final act:

A bill like that would hurt your brother
Forget that bill and find another
One that won't tax us
One that won't tax us

A bill that spends cannot save
A bill that spends is just a way
to help the poor, and tax the rich
very nice, you commie sons-a-bitch

See where I am going here? Really, they are putting on a show just like Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland did in the movies to help every cause. Why not add a little song and dance? It would be vastly more entertaining and then America could vote for the best singer in the sing off.

We vote more frequently for American Idol than for our leaders anyway.

Smoke on your pipe and put that in.

You're Welcome,
Lillybell Blues
