Musical Sunday

It's no secret that Der Furor's administration is probably the least scientifically literate in American history. Total ignorance of the reality of climate change, pollution, and the danger to public health of diseases no longer held in check by a world-class medical establishment is the hallmark of a proudly and profoundly ignorant president and his team of lackeys selected not for competence but for slavish adoration of their Dear Leader. This tune from The Parody Project, a takeoff on the classic Simon and Garfunkel tune "The Sound of Silence," is about as timely as it could ever be ...

Here are the lyrics:

Hello darkness my old friend.

It’s time for him to tweet again,

but first he’ll have to check in with fox news

‘cause that’s the only place he gets his clues.

That’s how things get planted in his brain,

where they remain,

and it confounds the science.

The problem is he’s not alone.

He tweets to people on his phone

that global warming is a giant hoax

perpetuated by the liberal folks,

and he hires people that all think the same,

that play his game

and it confounds the science.

When he talks to crowds of four

he sees ten thousand maybe more,

believing they all think he’s god on earth

and was the product of a virgin birth

and if you disagree you’re the victim of fake news

or feminist shrews

and it confounds the science.

“Fools," says he, "you do not know

it makes me smart from so much dough.

I know exactly where the problems are."

But his solutions are beyond bizarre

‘cause his words never quite a sentence make

and thus he spake

and it confounds the science.

No limits on pollution now.

There’s not a thing we don’t allow.

Dump the garbage in the waterway.

Spray the toxins where your children play.

All the signs say that life on the planet is headed for a downward fall.

Go to the mall,

and continue to confound the science.

Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. Listen to the people who know what they're talking about ... which does not include anyone serving in this administration.

More thoughts coming.
