The Night They Drove My Business Down

This is for you, Resident O'Bama. No, you didn't build that.

Virgil McCain is the name, and I saved in the GM vein
Till Bama's bankruptcy came and tore up contracts again
In the winter of 2012, we were hungry, just barely alive
By May the tenth, Dow Jones had fell
It's a time I remember oh so well

The night they drove my business down
Exchange bells were ringing
The night they drove my business down
And the people were singing
They went, "La, la, la, we live in La-La Land"

Back then my girlfriend watched TV, when one day she called me in
"Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Edward Saverin"
Now, I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good
Ya take what ya need, and ya leave the rest
But they should never have taken the very best

The night they drove my business down
Exchange bells were ringing
The night they drove my business down
And all the people were singing
They went, "La, la, la, we live in La-La Land"

Like my father before me, I'm a workin' man
And like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand
He was just eighteen, proud and brave, but the ATF laid him in his grave
I swear by the mud below my feet
You can't raise McCain back up when he's in defeat

The night they drove my business down
Exchange bells were ringing
The night they drove my business down
And all the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, na, you didn't build that"

The night they drove my business down
All exchange bells were ringing
The night they drove my business down
And the people were singing
They went, "Na, na, na, you didn't build that"

Censorship Goes Olympic

The latest Olympic sport? Censorship, apparently.

The apes that run the London Olympics believe they can forbid you from linking to their ugly, crappy, pathetic website if you say things about them that aren't nice.


Links to the Site. You may create your own link to the Site, provided that your link is in a text-only format. You may not use any link to the Site as a method of creating an unauthorized association between an organization, business, goods, or services and London 2012, and agree that no such link shall portray us or any other official London 2012 organizations (or our or their activities, products, or services) in a false, misleading, derogatory, or otherwise objectionable manner. 


OK, here's the link:

http://www.london2012.com/

The Olympics suck, they're run by a bunch of morons, and the only morons even dumber than the rank and file Olympic cow-orkers are those that wrote the terms of abuse.

Hmm… Maybe reverse psychology, though. Why would anyone otherwise link to that crummy website or care about that boring nonsense, anyway?
