Speaking of The Decider...

Calvin Trillin's latest ditty in the current edition of The Nation - it helps if you sing it in your head, better to sing it out loud - even better if you have a doo wop chorus to back you up! I was with a couple of my sisters in D.C. today when I found this, and we did just that. A good time was had.

The Great Decider, by Calvin Trillin

(A short adaptation of the Buck Ram song
for The Platters sung by George W. Bush)

Oh yes I'm the great decider (ooh ooh).
I'm resolute, and I am strong (ooh ooh).
I've said a prayer, so no need to care
If all my decisions are wrong.

FEATURED QUOTE

"It is the logic of our times
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."


-- Cecil Day-Lewis from Where Are The War Poets?
