Details:
If you canât beat âem, laugh at âem. Thatâs my motto when it comes to george w bush and company. Iâve evolved from poet to singer to songwriter, and itâs all about george.
georgeâs war
georgeâs debt
georgeâs lies
georgeâs pop-up book

If you missed it, thatâs what he claims he will write in his post-presidential years. When heâs not roping cattle or chopping down trees, that is. A pop-up book for a man who has failed the hurricane victims of Katrina, failed the families of soldiers sent to Iraq, failed the soldiers and veterans, and failed America by turning her credibility to zero. The pop-up book president has overseen the murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Iraq, and itâs all in our name.

The song âMy Presidentâ speaks to that business. Whether I voted for him or not, heâs still the president of the United States of America, and will continue to do harm so long as he finds an audience. I have started a new campaign: no air for george. Hereâs how it works:

JOIN THE CAMPAIGN!!

Do you remember the first drums of war?
How we âlostâ in 2000, and again in â04?
The agenda was set, and we pay the price:
Fool us once? Fool us twice? Fool us thrice?

join the campaign no air* for george

this president lies to his people
he should be impeached
he should be tried for war crimes
and he should be forbidden access to radio
TV and the internet

no air for george

join the campaign to defrock and expose this president

I solemnly pledge that from this day forward
I shall do everything in my power to strip the name
of george w bush of capitalization and punctuation

no caps
no periods
no respect
and no air for george

*no air time


In short, Iâm pissed. And a little bit worried about the election of 2008. Since 2002 I have evolved from a humble poet to a not-so-humble ukulele-toting singer/songwriter. So, come on along, tap your toes and snap your fingers to george & dick THE CD, and help America find someone competent, decent, and hardworking to pull us out of the muck and mire. Just say no to george & dick!

By the way, george & dick THE BOOK will soon be available at www.bushrageAllowed.com. The book will feature nationally syndicated cartoons, my newest poems and songs, and the LYRICS AND CHORDS FOR SINGING AND PLAYING ALONG on george & dick THE CD! Watch for it!

Thank you.

I never imagined myself as a protesting, ukulele-swinging activist. That all changed when george took office. When we have finally ousted bush and company, I shall return to poetry and songs of a different nature. #
