Waist Deep in the Big Muddy
Well, I’m not going to point any moral;
I’ll leave that for yourself
Maybe you’re still walking, you’re still talking
You’d like to keep your health.
But every time I read the papers
That old feeling comes on;
We’re — waist deep in the Big Muddy
And the big fool says to push on.From ”Waist Deep in the Big Muddy”
By Pete Seeger, 1967

Lovely. I am so glad there is someone else hearing Pete Seeger in their head.

you would think that with all of his money and rich buddies, the big fool would be able to buy a clue.
if we kick out Bush, do we get to kick out Cheney at the same time? cause it will just get worse if Cheney takes over.

To be completely accurate, it’s actually Richard Shindell’s cover of Dick Gaughan’s version of Pete Seeger that I’m hearing in my head.

Hey hey hey. Snatching both my M.O.s in one post? What’s this world coming to?
I don’t think we’d have Cheney. His approval rating is only something like 19 percent at the moment.

Heh. Just upping the ante a bit, my friend.
I think the kids call it a “mashup.”

Hmmm…
Looking back, it occurs to me that leaving a tongue-in-cheek comment like that last one on a post that references Pete Seeger probably doesn’t help much in my new quest to convince people that I’m not, in fact, 50 years old.
