Somebody tagged me a few days ago; I’m supposed to write ten random things about me. I regret I haven’t had time to think about it. Most random things about me are boring, anyway. However, I do have personal theme songs. Most of them are schmaltzy and depressing, but this one’s not so bad.

It’s official!
We have been in a RECESSION since December of 2007. All those months when most of the blogosphere acknowledged that we were in a recession, but Bush and buddies said “Oh no, we’re not” have come back into sharp focus.
The best prediction is that we will stay in recession well into 2009 and we could go beyond that.
The solution that Paulson and Behrnanke are pushing is to print more money and feed it to the banks… banks like AIG and Citigroup and other biggies that seem to take the bucks that we print and turn them into big cash subsidies for executives.
I’m not sure that Obama is gearing up to do much better… but at least it is clear that the economy has to be completely restructured in this country. Wait for the big sacrifices to be spelled out that we all need to make at the consumer level. That will happen really soon.
I want to see the big sacrifices the bank execs and automobile CEOs and folks like that are going to make. Like… how about giving up your multi-million dollar salaries for a year? You can afford to coast on your savings from last year. Just cut your vacations short and give up eating out. Hehehehe.
Wait til they start telling us we’re not heading into a Depression. What? Ben B. did that today? And should we believe him?
You tell me.

My favorite song is Indian Lake by the Cowsills..it like totally rocks, and is in tune with my sexuality! And when I really wanna cut loose… I kick up the volume on my MP3 Bacon & Ashcroft rendition of Jesus Hold my Hand…It makes me want to Yee Haw
I love Queen.
“Eye of the tiger” .
There is an old SNL short about a procedure that implants a song in your head for continuous playback. You can see it here:

I think I would go with “Foggy Mountain Breakdown.”
OK, you all are making me feel old. My favorite is Danny Boy (by anybody) but Morton Downey is the best.

My sister’s favorite part about “Indian Lake” was that it took the Cowsills five syllables to enunciate the word “Canoe.”
