Overheard at Friday Night Karaoke:



“Gonna give you a little bit of the 'Rev. Al. Green singing The Beatles.' I’m pretty certain he recorded this tune. Everyone else in the damn universe has, so why not the greatest singer in history? Anyway, this is ‘Yesterday’ by The Beatles. Sort of.”


President Barack Obama







Yesterday, all this bullshit seemed so far away
Now it looks as though I’ll have to pay
But, I believe, health care for all


Suddenly, it’s not as simple as it seemed to be
That fucking website is the death of me
But, I believe, health care for all


Kath-leen Se-bel-ie-us said it worked, but she was wrong
So, we blame the techs and hope that it gets f-i-i-i-i-x-x-x-e-e-e-d-d-d-d-d


Health care for all, getting started and we dropped the ball
I wish that I was at the shopping mall
But, I believe, health care for all
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

“Here’s another Beatles tune. I remember the Beatles. I toured with Ringo one summer as part of his All-Starr Band. Halfway through the tour he discovered I couldn’t play any instruments and couldn’t sing and sent me home. That’s not a true story, by the way. I can play the bass. No, I really can’t. But this song is true. And you know it as ‘I Wanna Hold Your Hand.’”

Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky)

Mitch McConnell


Oh, yeah, I’ll tell you something
Maybe you’ll understand
When I say that something
Don’t want a health care plan

Don’t want a health care plan
Don’t want a health care plan

Oh, please, say to me
That the site’s shut down
And please, say to me
We repealed this health care plan

We repealed this health care plan
Don’t want a health care plan

And when I see Ted Cruz I’m happy, inside
He gets his health care though his wife,
And Goldman-Sachs, And Goldman Sachs, And GOLDMAN-SACHS*

This bu-ul-ul-shit, is too complex
For the damn gov-ern-ment
When I say it’s too complex
Don’t want a health care plan

Don’t want a health care plan
Don’t want a health care plan

And when I see Ted Cruz I’m happy, inside
He gets his health care though his wife,
And Goldman-Sachs, And Goldman Sachs, And GOLDMAN-SACHS*

Yeah, yeah, you, got your coverage
From some other source, not us
And, and, you, got insurance
Not from the government
Not from the government
Not from the government

Don’t want a health care plan
Don’t want a health care plan
Not from the government



*Financial analysts disclosed today that the Cruz’s health care setup, based on Mrs. Cruz’s salary and tax law, actually saves the Cruzes an estimated $20,000 annually AND costs taxpayers about $8,500 in lost revenue.

“Sad, sad, sad. C’mon. There are songs that weren’t written by The Beatles, you know. Here’s one from Peter Paul and Mary. You know it as ‘Leavin’ on a Jet Plane’. If this one doesn’t move you to tears, you have no heart. That’s all I’m saying.”

House Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Virginia)

Food stamps are cut, my work is done
I’m heading home where there’s lots of food
Eric Cantor
I hate that you ate that last piece of pie
But the soup kitchen is a lovely place
They don’t care if you wash your face
They’ll help if you’re so hungry you could cry

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you hate the poor
Let’s just flush them down the sewer
(Let’s flush them down the sewer)
I’m gonna fuck the poor now
I don’t care that they can’t eat some cow
I just hate them for sure

There’s so many times I’ve fucked around
So many times, I’ve not stood my ground
I tell you now this is the real thing
Every vote I make, I’ll cut some more
The register won’t go ka-CHING!
The budget talks are fucked beyond belief.

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you hate the poor
Let’s just flush them down the sewer
(Let’s flush them down the sewer)
I’m gonna fuck the poor now
I don’t care that they can’t eat some cow
I just hate them for sure

Now the time has come to screw you
One more time, let me fist you
Then wish for more; I’ll say no fucking way
Dream about the Democrats
Who’d give you more, in a flash
But fuck those guys, we have majority

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you hate the poor
Let’s just flush them down the sewer
(Let’s flush them down the sewer)
I’m gonna fuck the poor now
I don’t care that they can’t eat some cow
I just hate them for sure


Thank You and Good Night.
