Racist? Period piece? Mañana is good enough for me!

This song wouldn't be a hit today, that's for sure, but I remember hearing it when I was a baby.

Was it on the radio? It was a big hit for Peggy Lee, who co-wrote it.

Maybe it's a harbinger of the Aztlan Reconquista -- a 'Mexican' approach to patching the budget mess in Sacramento!

Mañana is good enough for me!

The faucet she is dripping and the fences she's falling down
My pocket needs some money so I can't go in to town
My brother he ain't working and my sister doesn't care
The car it needs a motor so I can't go anywhere

Manana Manana
Manana is good enough for me

My mother´s always workin´ she is working very hard
But every time she looks for me I´m sleeping in the yard
My mother thinks I´m lazy and maybe she is right
I gotta work manana but I gotta sleep tonight

Manana Manana
Manana is good enough for me

Once I had some money but I gave it to my friend
He said he'd pay me double it was only for a lend
But he said a little later that the horse she was so slow
Why he gave the horse my money is something I don't know

Manana Manana
Manana is good enough for me

My brother took his suitcase and he went away to school
My father said he only learned to be a silly fool
My father said that I should learn to make a chili pot
But then I burned the house down the chili was too hot

Manana Manana
Manana is good enough for me

The window she is broken and the rain is coming in
If someone doesn't fix it I'll be soaking to my skin
But if we wait a day or two the rain may go away
And we don't need a window on such a sunny day

Manana Manana
Manana is good enough for me

Winnipeg is cold as fuck

What's behind the Sarah Palin announcement?

Living in America? Welcome to Iran

Imagine that 30 years ago, a coalition of the Aryan Brotherhood, the National Rife Association, the KKK, the American Independent Party, Operation Rescue, the Southern Baptist Conference and other Christian evangelical and dispensationalist groups overthrew the government of the United States to form a new Christian Republic of America.

Pat Robertson, the Supreme Leader, would be the ultimate authority in this Protestant Theocracy, with help from Jerry Falwell, Oral Roberts and that guy from the God Hates Fags church. Their theology would be based on the imminence of the End Times, Tribulation, the return of Jesus and the Rapture.

The only TV news would come from Fox, the only talk radio from Rush Limbaugh and print newspapers would have the depth of USA Today and the viewpoint of the Washington Times.

All the music would be Christian rock and/or gospel and the MTV clones would look like the 700 Club.

All newspapers, Web sites, internet service providers, cellphone companies, blogging aggregators and social media sites would be directly supervised and censored by the Ministry of Information, led by Sarah Palin, and all educational curricula would be designed by the Creation Institute peeps.

Foreign Minister Dick Cheney would blame all world's problems on the Europeans -- specifcally the French -- and look forward to the day France would be wiped off the map.

Almost all Americans of French heritage who had any money would have left the country and fled to Quebec and/or La Patrie, and French words would be banned from polite discourse. Despite the fact French people were here on the continent before the USA was founded, their history and role in the American Revolution would be obliterated from the collective consciousness.

Catholics would be tolerated, Jews allowed to stay Jewish but Muslims, Mormons, Buddhists, Bahais and Hindus would be allowed only to continue to worship in private, and denied permission to expand, refurbish or modernize any existing places of worship.

After 30 years of this, and a disputed election where the choice was between an extreme right winger and a more moderate right winger, some people would miraculously decide that enough was enough, and protest rigged elections peacefully in the street.

The FBI, bolstered by paramilitary reinforcements recruited from the Hells Angels, would be designated to crush the peaceful protests before they got out of hand. The Supreme Leader, of course, would blame it on the French.

Welcome to Iran.
