An adaptation of "Fun Fun Fun" by the Beach Boys
Dedicated to the Members of the General Assembly

Well he got a state airplane
And he cruises through the capitol now
Seems he forgot all about the budgeting
Like he told his old lady now
And with the radio blasting
Goes cruising just as fast as he can now
And he'll have fun fun fun
'Til Fitzgerald takes the G-Rod away
(Fun fun fun 'til Fitzgerald takes the G-Rod away)

Well Springfield can't stand him
'Cause he talks and talks and talks like an ace now
(You talk like an ace now you talk like an ace)
He makes the federal government look like its running smooth now
(You look like an ace now you look like an ace)
A lotta guys try to fight him
But he calls them into special session now
(You talk like an ace now you talk like an ace)
And he'll have fun fun fun
'Til Fitzgerald takes the G-Rod away
(Fun fun fun 'til Fitzgerald takes the G-Rod away)

Well you knew all along
That the Feds were gettin' wise to you now
(Be sure you don't lie now, be sure you don't lie)
And since they took your campaign files
You've been thinking that your fun is all through now
(Be sure you don't lie now, be sure you don't lie)
But you can go along with them
'Cause we gotta a lot of things to do now
(Be sure you don't lie now, be sure you don't lie)

And we'll have fun fun fun if that Fitzgerald takes the G-Rod away
(Fun fun fun if that Fitzgerald takes the G-Rod away)

For the governor, I offer up a new twist on a Joe Walsh classic -- aren't all Joe Walsh songs clasic?

Life of Illusion:
Sometimes I can't help the feeling that I'm living a life of illusion
And hey, how about my GRT
I thought I might get at least one vote for my resolution
I just canâ€™t help the feeling Iâ€™m
Living a life of illusion.

Pow, right between my eyes
Madigan cut me up like apple slices
Wow, Papa Tony is going down
I guess Iâ€™d better check for listening devices

And the subpeonaes come with no warning
Fitzgerald loves his little surprises
Continual crisis

Hey, time for me to waste another taxpayerâ€™s day
Coming up with empty solutions
That have no meaning, just another hunch
Based upon jumping conclusions

Caught up in endless solutions
Backed up against a wall of confusion

Living a life of illusion

House Dems: We don't get fooled again -- the Who
House GOP:Mayor of Simpleton -- XTC
Senate Dems:Listen like Thieves -- INXS
Senate GOP:Might as well go for a soda -- Kim Mitchell

Just me and my good buddy Weiser.
That's all I ever need.

Little Egypt — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 20:05:35 -0000

We've only just begun to live,
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way.
And yes, We've just begun.

Before the rising sun we fly,
So many roads to choose
We start our walking and learn to run.
And yes, We've just begun.

Sharing horizons that are new to us,
Watching the signs along the way,
Talking it over just the "three" of us,
Working together day to day
Together.

And when the evening comes we smile,
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow,
And yes, We've just begun.

Re: Question of the day

Little Egypt — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 20:02:48 -0000
