    Do You know Versus? You Should, Really You Should.

    I'm not sure what I might call Versus.  It's rather like a blog of musical satire, with out a place to put comments (wish there were such a place).  I love satire.  I love music.  Put them together and I swoon.  Today's offering, And Now, a Word from the Economy Herself is a masterpiece.

     
     

    One song like this is worth ten screeds by Dean Baker--and I like Dean Baker.  Jon Stewart will bring the revolution faster than any of the deadly serious village elders.  When people get out their disco balls and sing.
    You talking heads.
    You walking deads.
    I am basically healthy but you guys went off your meds.
    All you Thains and all you Macks.
    you maniacs from Goldman Sachs,
    This contagion that is ragin' came rampagin' off your backs.

    we'll be ready to storm the barricades and rescue Ms. Economy from her abusers.

    I'd love to see this video go viral  It's available at YouTube now.  Why not also visit VERSUS and get on their mailing list?  You'll be glad you did, especially if you like groaner puns as much as I do.
