I think I'll recycle your comment into an entry just so that I can embed it.<br /><br />As for donating to U.S. candidates, unless you are still an American citizen, I recommend that you don't donate to them. It's illegal for them to receive money from foreign donors. As a director of the Coffee Party, I'm sensitive to issues of money in politics.Pinku-Senseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247618351725715844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752611264465083204.post-56638983013582506932015-06-22T19:20:07.342-04:002015-06-22T19:20:07.342-04:00And obviously Batman in that clip (cheers for reac...And obviously Batman in that clip (cheers for reaching back into the 1960s show!) is a modern wimpy Democrat, because he comes out mush-mouthed in opposition to outrageous perfidy. If only Amerika had a two-party system! I hope Bernie Sanders stirs up some trouble. I sent him $100 (got a lot of spare American money sitting around down here). I don't bother to vote any more (have you read about how absentee ballots are usually NOT counted?) but at least with cash in an envelope, I can feel like I'm part of the game.<br /><br />But what I was really writing to say is in response to your mention in Kunstler's June 22 column of Trump's misappropriation of "Rockin' in the Free World." None of the commentary I've read about that brouhaha said what a stupid choice of songs it was. Neil Young's lyric were a ripping takedown of the cruelty of Amerikan society -- especially the plutocratic Bush I. "<i>A thousand points of light for the homeless man</i>"? "<i>A kinder gentler machine gun hand</i>"? Ba-fucking-zinga! It was perfectly clear at the time that he was tearing strips off the Preznit, which is why I went out and bought the album, back when they still made those things out of vinyl. And Tchump steals THAT for his intro theme? Do none of these people listen to the words, instead of the catch-phrase in the chorus? It's just like Ronald Ray-gun swiping Springsteen's "Born in the USA" without noticing the lyrics about dying factory towns and pointless losses in Vietnam.Bukko Boomerangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424677168216647964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752611264465083204.post-29876589121011871872015-06-17T09:10:01.885-04:002015-06-17T09:10:01.885-04:00I left the following comment on the Batman vs. Pen...I left the following comment on the Batman vs. Penguin video on YouTube: "Donald Trump is running for President. He's as much of a cartoon of a rich man as Penguin is." That sums up what I think of both of them.Pinku-Senseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247618351725715844noreply@blogger.com
