Epiphany of sorts

I was posting a comment with my patented lack'o'tact over at Steve Gilliard's place in his post on Lynne's Little Lesbian (or is that Dick's Deferment Daughter?). Anyhow, the jist of the post was this from AmericaBlog...the Mortal Majority is pissed because Dicks Deferment and her partner were up on the stage together at an "event" with Dick. Seems that the the Christo-Fascists who are expecting you know, payback are a little irate that not one, but two of them evil homerseckshewals was allowed up on the stage with the Consecrated-One In Waiting himself. The Assistant Consecrated One is not allowed, by the way to refer to himself as "not a good man".

Anyhow, as I was attempting snark at Gilliards place, it hit me. I think I have the theme song for the 1600 Crew. Disclaimer: I have never been a huge Stones fan, but one song of theirs has always sent shivers up my spine...Sympathy for The Devil. Think about the lyrics:

...
As heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
’cause I’m in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
...
Don't they just fit? I remember Altamont. If this song could fit one era, couldn't it fit another? Apologies to the boys in the band...meaning no disrespect to your classic. It just set me to musing. So next time you see Preznit Inherently Evil on the TeeVee, turn down the volume and turn up some Sympathy...even if it's only in your mind. I think it's a match. Don't you get His Name?

I definitely think of an evil underling to Satan when I see the preznit, although when I do get warning that he will be onscreen I change the channel (even seeing him for a second gives me the same sort of pain that Voldemort gives Harry Potter). I think of Maggie's Farm, though, when somehow I have this administration's record of nastiness, lies and hypocricy forced on me.

Ain't it funny how history repeats itself?
