Nowhere To Go But Back – our new song about the GI Bill

If McCain’s opposition to Jim Webb’s new GI Bill isn’t all the proof we need that he won’t do enough for our veterans, then I don’t know what is.
After his usual “my military service gives me special privilege to shit all over those with military service” qualifier, McCain explained his position:
The most important difference between [...]

Jury Duty

Hello from Jury Duty. Everyone is watching The View after having just listened to a woman with the most annoying voice in history explain to us that there were many places to eat on Figueroa Street (but you have to drive there, she kept saying) and arguing with some carpet-clawing ex-rebel jerk who said it [...]

Sunday Evening Political Tunes by Other Bands

There’s a lot of bad political music out there, and a few great bands that really know how to do it. I leave it up to you to decide where we fall in that equation.
There are some amazing political songs out there and I thought it would be fun to feature some favorites of [...]

Don’t forget that he’s still in office.

President Bush opposed a pay raise for servicemen just in time for Memorial Day. Pigfuckers!
via ThinkProgress:
Yesterday, the House passed the Defense Authorization bill, which prescribes spending amounts for the military activities.
The bill includes a section to raise the pay for the soldiers by 3.9 percent – an increase of 0.5 percent over the Bush administration’s [...]

When Dakota Goes South

Cartoon by Scott L. Ehrisman, SouthDaCola.com
Like in 2006, South Dakota has an abortion ban on the ballot in November. The ‘06 version allowed no exceptions even to save the life of the mother and would’ve prevented Sigourney Weaver in Alien 3 from getting an abortion – it failed 56% to 44%.
The new one has [...]

Weekend at Bernie’s goes to Abu Ghraib

I am obsessed with the movie Weekend At Bernie’s – I think it’s arguably the best premise comedy ever made, and has the funniest joke of any film I’ve seen (when Richard, awkwardly staring at the hot summer intern Gwen who he wants to talk to just says “my aunt is very sick” – if [...]

Dana, Dana. How can you explain away this mess that we’re in?

This was the 4th song we ever recorded, and I’d like to record it again because we were still figuring out what we sounded like. It’s about WH press secretary Dana Perino – this incident that happened today made me feel like it was a tune worth digging up – Enjoy “Dana, Dana” and read [...]

Max vs. WordPress, round 2

I emerge victorious!
Tonight: Max vs. the song, round 2 – I will win again.

Welcome to the new page. I sort of hate it.

So I’m using one of the free WordPress pages. I miss Google already. Should I go back? The things I like about it is that it mouseovers an MP3 player on the songs page and that I can tab between pages. I hate everything else about it. What do you think?

Thursday, I don’t care about you. It’s Friday, I’m in love.

We’ve been very good lately about having the song ready on Thursday without delay, but this week our sprightly little tune about South Dakota putting an abortion ban won’t be ready until Friday because it is misbehaving and the other Max and I have to perform some surgery on the song tomorrow evening.
I was thinking [...]
