Looks like we won’t have Sarah Palin to kick around anymore (Oh, God, please let her be gone for good). Today, Sarah “The Quitter” Palin is no longer the Governor of Alaska. In her memory, my friend Wayne created a parody which is well worth reading. Here, Pick Wayne’s Brain and enjoy.
T’was the Night Before Inauguration
By John Cobarruvias

T’was the night before inauguration and what to my dismay
The market was tanking, I lost my 401K!
The stocks were hung, in downfall they stuck
While Bush did nothing, a truly lame duckThe republicans were nestled, their heads in the sand
With visions of defeat of the republican brand.
And Cheney with his gun, his heart a pace
Looking for someone, to shoot in the face.When out on the house floor, there came such a clatter
I sprang to the internets to find what’s the matter.
Away to my screen I ran with a flash
Hoping the market, didn’t crash.The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow
Showed me someone I needed to know.
When what to my eyes, I paused, with a comma
But a vision of hope, It was Barack Obama!With excitement and conviction in each of his steps
I wondered what he and his elves, would do next.
More rapid than eagles his appointments they came
And he whistled and shouted, and called them by name.Now Emanuel! Now, Daschle! Now Richardson and Biden!
On, Clinton, On Napolitano, and Gates, no sense in hidin’!
To fix the economy, our reputation and more.
And to stop the killing of this unnecessary war.As Obama stood still, the republicans they trembled
Remembering 8 years of a disaster they had assembled.
They’ve broken our banks, and doubled our debt.
They scared us to death with weapons of threats.They squandered a surplus, They started a war.
They shredded our constitution, littered on the floor.
They attack our unions, our immigrants and those who are gay.
They claim to be Christians, yet on the sick they prey.We may never recover from this hole they dug.
But we will climb to the top with an American tug.
The republican party has destroyed all that matters
They deserve nothing more but to hold the damn ladder.But his voice did change, along with a smile.
Thinking of the bills that soon would be filed.
Protect those who are old and young alike
Restore our honor and our military might.Protect our planet, and clean our air.
While creating a surplus we can leave to our heirs
Fix our economy, and health care for all.
And honor those who fought, and those who fall.Obama sprang to his feet, to his team he gave a shout.
The challenges seem impossible, hard work needed no doubt
But I heard him exclaim ere he talked and ran.
Hey! It’s not just a slogan, YES WE CAN!

Have a great Holiday everyone.
There is hope in the White House!For the Texans who receive this: FYI: John Cobarruvias is the man who filed the ethics complaint against Speaker Tom Craddick and his daughter Christy Craddick.
(from an email)
Today, while I was shopping, I overheard a conversation between two young shoppers, a man and a woman. After they greeted each other, the man said, “I just got laid off last week. That s**ked”. The woman responded, “I’m sorry to hear that. I understand that there will be another wave of layoffs announced on Monday.” That was terrible news to hear.
Congress had no problem handing out $700 billion to Wall Street so that banks could free up credit. Then before heading home to spend the holidays with their families, the Republicans turned their backs on workers and refused to grant a loan to the American automobile industry. As a result, many other industries will face layoffs because they do business with the “Big 3 Auto Makers”. This is known as “trickle down disaster”. If the banks that received the bailout opened up the credit market like they were suppose to do, American car makers may not have needed to go begging to Congress. Instead, the banks are hoarding this money which is causing our economy to come to a screeching halt. It is bad everywhere except for the fat cat Congressmen that aren’t a bit worried about the economy because they will be getting a raise when they return in January. As for the rest of us, well, we can eat cake and take drugs that numb our senses.
Here’s a parody that may help put a smile on our faces authored by that man of many talents, Breezy.
God Rest ye Merry Gentleman
God rest ye bankers one and all
Let nothing you dismay.
For George Bush your sav-i-or
Is giving cash away
With no strings attached to it
Wall Street will shout Hooray!
Oh… tidings of billions of bucks
you’re outa luck
Oh… tidings of billions of bucks.
Now ’tis the time to celebrate
For we’ll still get our bonus.
Bad loans we needn’t contemplate
Now that the gov’ment owns us.
Without creating one new job
We’ve had it all our way.
Oh… tidings of billions of bucks
it’s not enough
Oh… tidings of billions of bucks.
Do to job insecurity and the credit crunch, Santa may not be bringing many gifts this year so Santa thought we might all appreciate hearing him play the guitar.
Another Christmas parody by Breezy.
White Christmas
I’m dreaming of a Sach’s outfit
Just like the ones I used to own.
When the microphones glistened
And southerner listened
To hear “palinaroundwithterrorists”, ya know.
I’m dreaming of a day – you betcha
With every Christmas card I write.
They’ll see my foreign policy is right
‘Cause Russia from my house is within sight.
I’m dreaming of a White House run.
The GOP must know I’m right.
May my fundraisers last all night
And may all my constituents be white.
Here’s a favorite Republican carole parody, author unknown. The melody is from “We Three Kings”.
C.E.O.’s – we do as we please!
Making money with our decrees!
We can do it!
Nothing to it!
Laying off employess!
Oh! Oh!
Lay-off! Lay-off! It’s our right!
Lay-off everyone in sight!
Those remaining
Will be straining,
Working through the day and night.
Here’s the Sock Puppets’ performing this song. 8)
He wants us to believe that he has this great legacy of liberating Iraqis. What Bush brought to the Iraqis was death and destruction, not liberty and peace. You can read about what Bush says is his legacy at ABC News.
History will prove that George W Bush was the WORST PRESIDENT EVER.
Parody sung to the melody of Frosty the Snow Man written by Jeff.
Bush the worlds worst President
Has a very dark dark soul
A 6 gun by his side he can’t swallow his pride
He’s a very big asshole
OH
Bush the worlds worst President
He can’t talk and he’s a bore
If Anyone in the world disagrees with him
He says “Hey do you want to go to war” (pause)
He says “Hey do you want to go to war”
There must have been black magic in
The sperm Bush senior shot
When Barbara Bush gave birth to him
She said “George look what we’ve got”
Bush the worlds worst President
Has a very dark dark soul
A 6 gun by his side he can’t swallow his pride
He’s a very big asshole.
Snowman is definitely an appropriate nickname for Bush.

In honor of the upcoming Holiday Season, Pennsylvania for Change will be sharing parodies of famous Christmas songs. This song is sung to the tune of “Winter Wonderland”.
Republicans, are ya listenin’
Whose ass now are ya kissin’
It’s a beautiful sight
We’re happy tonight
Walkin’ in a Democratic land.
In the meadow we can build a windmill
And generate some power for the town
In the fileds we’ll make sure it stays farmland
And kick the Walmart’s ass if they’re around.
Later, on they’ll conspire
As Limbaugh fans their ire
No matter what they do
More States will turn blue
Walkin’ in a Democratic land.
