those 2 words are in the same sentence.

I'll make you a deal... like any other candidate
we'll pretend we're walking home cause our future's at stake
my set is amazing, it even smells like street
there's a bar at the end where i can meet you and your friends...

There's a bar at the end where I can meet you and your
friend
Someone scrawled on the wall "I smell the blood of les tricoteuses"
Who wrote up scandals in other bars

I'm having so much fun with the poisonous people
Spreading rumours and lies and stories they made up
Some make you sing and some make you scream
One makes you wish that you'd never been seen
But there's a shop on the corner that's selling papier
mache
Making bullet-proof faces, Charlie Manson, Cassius Clay
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing

So you scream out of line
"I want you! I need you! Anyone out there? Any time?"
Tres butch little number whines "Hey dirty, I want you
When it's good, it's really good, and when it's bad I go to pieces"
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing

Well, on the street where you live I could not hold up my head
For I put all I have in another bed
On another floor, in the back of a car
In the cellar like a church with the door ajar
Well, I guess we've must be looking for a different kind
But we can't stop trying 'till we break up our minds
'Til the sun drips blood on the seedy young knights
Who press you on the ground while shaking in fright
I guess we could cruise down one more time
With you by my side, it should be fine
We'll buy some drugs and watch a band
Then jump in the river holding hands

Ibby - what does that have to do with the thread or the question at hand?

the name of the song is 'candidate'?

Soooo??????? Shall we all just post stuff about candidates or perhaps add something potentially meaningful - Aw what the hell...

No. Will I ever believe in a candidate as long as I live, probably not.

Failed? Ho ho ho -- and just where is your response to my question to you in another thread: just why do you find my political ideas re the global body politic "repulsive?" I asked you why that was, and your silence echoed, and echoes now. I don't think you can tell me why, it's been so long. I'd say it's time for you to respond coherently. In fact, it's time for you to respond at all.

While it is clear that you do, you've made no attempt to explain to a democratic partisan why you do. Frankly, it's not at all obvious, nor self-evident why you should take an anti-democratic-advances point of view. You are not in any other sense a Fascist, large F or small, and you have some demonstrated regard for the fundamentals of human rights -- so why not support a chance at having a people no longer suffer bad government?

The thread I'm thinking of has run two more pages without you addressing this fundamental matter, raised in posts 55 and 56, one of mine and one of yours: Politics ad Absurdam, page 4.

Is it in yet, shorty?

Talk about an utterly inadequate response! Go do something to your credit, Bruce! Only a kindergartener expects to get anywhere sticking his tongue out and flapping his hands with his thumbs in his ears.

Yep; pork 'em 'til they look like unicorns -- pink ones -- and squeal like a piggie, eee, eee.

I can definitely reduce some fatuity-mongers around here to squealing.

Meanwhile back on the election trail, Guilianni endorses perpetual war.
