Indeed. Remember the Republican "Young Guns" group that included Eric Cantor at the fresh-faced age of 49?

And yet every classic rock station plays "Tom Sawyer" about twice a day. Indeed I feel haunted.

<i> a club for stupid ignorant rednecks to bitch about why their lives suck, and blame it on someone else.</i> We have a video in the college library on hate groups, narrated by a former member, and that is almost exactly how he describes them.

I felt the same way upon hearing a bluegrass cover of <a href="http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch\?v=79rxrMsl2JQ" target="_blank"> "Dark Side of the Moon"</a>. Later I learned that no piece of music is immune to a bluegrass cover.

I was on an extended Caribbean jaunt around 1980 (details are fuzzy) and there was a Calypso song on the radio we always enjoyed. "Give Me Back Me Shah."

Back in the Reagan days there were some great bumbersnickers.

"What's black, flat, and glows in the dark? Iran after Reagan is elected."

and

"Let's play Cowboys and Iranians."

It appears that Mormonism, like life insurance, isn't bought. It's sold.

I went to an anti-Khomeni rally when I was a freshman in college (still have the t-shirt but it doesn't fit anymore). That's about the same thing, right?

The standard is definitely way different. Went to rallies for a group that was dedicated to keeping black in their place? Meh. Sat on a committee that included Bill Ayers? TREASONOUS BASTARD!!!
