A quotation by Mark Twain.

"I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and politics, a man's reasoning powers are not above the monkey's." - Mark Twain

Many, many core voters in America now feel, in President George Walker Bush, is in fact, a testament to this view. An ignorant, top-rank moron... no question!

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee;
Blessed art thou among women,
And blessed be the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Tony Blair, full of lies,
Thine days are numbered;
Why don't thee just sod right off, huh?
Go home, you smug, flash bastard!
War? Madness!
How we pray
For Labour's death at the election.
One more month! Reform!

'Mandy' - Barry Manilow

I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
A shadow of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into...

Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
You made me so happy...

Oh Mandy, well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy,
Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
I need you today, oh Mandy

I'm standing on the edge of time
I walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

Yesterday's a dream I face the morning
Crying on the breeze
The pain is calling, oh Mandy...

Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy.

Peter 'Mandy' Mandelson - by Tony Blair

How I wept! I had to sack you twice;
The power-vacuum wasn't very nice!
Savagely you were daily mauled,
Again 'The Prince of Darkness' the media called,
Why this stupid fuss over your home?
And what a trauma, my empty Dome!

No monkey... Hartlepool image? Not for you!
I know, only Bohemian Notting Hill could do.
A weekend sipping Chardonnay,
Gay night-life, Brazilian hideaway,
While I'd slum it in Islington...

Mandy!
When you came to embody New Labour,
I gagged you, sent you to Belfast,
Oh, my Mandy!
The Hindujas you helped get dodgy passports?
I mean, what can I say?
Oh, I'm a dimwit, Mandy!

A High Commissioner in my Eurozone,
Again I hope you won't forget old Tone.
Why, I hope that we can make amends,
I guess we are guaranteed always friends,
My wife, undying love she sends,
To you and young Reinaldo...

Oh, my Mandy!
What damaging megalomania!
Like me, a slippery snake!
My Mandy!
Underhand, undignified, kinky,
Yet again on the make!
Oh Mandy!
Hey, my good mate Mandy!

House in New Orleans

There is a house in New Orleans,
They call the Rising Sun,
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And god I know....I'm one.

Gosh, Katrina's in the headlines
Boo hoo! I wanna cry!
No, it's no fun being lonely underwater,
...Yes, in The Superdome am I!
