- For all my fellow Joss Whedon fans.
- Ayn!
- The Man they call Ayn!
- He robbed for the rich and he stole from the poor,
- He stood up for The Man and he'd give him much more
- Our love for him now, aint hard to explain,
- The hero of Janesville, the man they call Ayn!
- Our Ayn saw Wall Streeters' backs breakin'
- He saw the lawyers' lament
- And he saw the lice and scum takin'
- Every dollar and leavin' five cents
- So he said, "You can't do that to my people"
- "You can't crush them under your heel"
- Ayn strapped on his lies
- And before the ink dries
- Steals everything the Boomers had to steal
- He robbed for the rich and he stole from the poor,
- He stood up for The Man and he'd give him much more
- Our love for him now, aint hard to explain,
- The hero of Janesville, the man they call Ayn!
- Now here is what separates producers
- From moochers like you and I
- The man they call Ayn
- He turned 'round his train
- And let all his lies hit sky
- He dropped lies onto conventions
- He dropped lies into tv sets
- And the man they call Ayn
- He just rode that damned train
- 'Til he became a GOP star
- He robbed for the rich and he stole from the poor,
- He stood up for The Man and he'd give him much more
- Our love for him now, aint hard to explain,
- The hero of Janesville, the man they call Ayn!

You rock. Even if you someday write something that pisses me off irreparably, I will remember this day and keep you in my blogroll.
ReplyDeleteYeah, yeah, second prize is a month in Jaynesville. What of it?
Heh, thanks.
ReplyDeleteOr course Romney picked the biggest liar he could find. You were expecting maybe bunnies? Scary bunnies?
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, I've been pondering what life will look like if these clowns do sieze power - http://downpuppy.blogspot.com/2012/08/transit-investing-in-era-of-family.html
Eastwood was funny. By accident.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Susan.

Amazon Prime has been treating me recently to a complete replay of the Firefly season.
ReplyDeleteWell done! I thought of that song every time is saw the word, Janesville; so glad you ran with it.
ReplyDeleteMy modest rewrite of the 1964 Chad Mitchell Tune, Barry's Boys, is at DKos: Romney's Boys.
It's amazing that you needed to make so few changes.
ReplyDeleteI have the Firefly DVDs but it's easier to watch it on Netflix. It's a shame there was only one season and a movie.
This is even funnier given the actual personal politics of the actor who plays Jayne Cobb. And he's a terrific actor; you just don't want to go out to dinner with him and bring up the election.
ReplyDeleteClap. Clap. Clap.
ReplyDeleteWhedon is a libertarian too, no?
ReplyDeleteWhedon's a self-proclaimed liberal but he has a libertarian streak, as evidenced by Serenity. I try not to read too much into Firefly's politics, because it seems like more of a "Man it would be cool if" to make the Confederacy heroes without actually thinking of what that means subtextually.
ReplyDeleteOf course, exploring the aftermath of Serenity instead of endless prequel comics would be fascinating, but that would require more effort than Whedon, I think, is willing to give unless there's a big enough payday.
