Exposure to Tom Lehrer can cause brain damage

[jhetley]

Okay, I haven't been able to avoid the Presidential Funeral on TV. I'm not sure even leaving the demon box turned off would work -- "they" probably have a remote relay to turn it back on again. Anyway, a line from "National Brotherhood Week" keeps running through my head:

"It's fun to eulogize
"People you despise."

Not that I think any of the politicos actually despised Gerry Ford, or anything...

Of course, then my idiot synergistic brain starts to continue that tune into the bit from "Pancho and Lefty" that goes:

"And the Federales say
"They could have caught him any day.
"They just let him slip away
"Out of kindness, I suppose."

Mommas, don't let your babies grow up to be folksingers.
