Election (Excerpt)

The candidates lined up in a row

Turn on the cameras, time to start the show

They kissed babies with a tie

Tried every soundbite that might fly

But be they congressmen or preachers

The only ones who made the features

Were the ones who knew their station

Is that a man or a corporation



And each spineless spam who won that round

Went on to the big buck battleground

They bought some ads and they bought some more

And they got freebies by the score

Hired thugs went door to door

Especially if you're black or poor

Said your vote might be against the law

Don't tell me the deal is raw



(Chorus)

And we had an election, it ain't no lie

It was the best one money could buy



Counter-Inaugural

Counter-inaugural events provide visible resistance and imaginative alternatives to the Bush Administration's worldview and domestic & foreign policies. Dozens of counter-inaugural events are taking place in DC and around the country, on and around inauguration day - January 20th, 2005. There are music, art, protest, film, workshop, poetry, political, and party events. Whatever you're into, there's something for you!



Blogging The Counter-Inaugural

The Open Park Project, a Washington DC nonprofit, announced the provision of a free, carrier grade hotspot for Wi-Fi service during Inauguration Week along the Pennsylvania Avenue parade route giving the general public, event bloggers and the press on-site, high-speed access to the Internet.
