No Judge or Jury Ever Gonna Hear the Story Told

Congratulations to Mr. Kalum Tuggle for correctly naming "Mary Jane's Last Dance" by Tom Petty as the Wednesday Song of the Day.

Moving on to more important matters, a few days ago Democratic Vice-Presidential nominee Joseph Biden dropped this gem on us :
"Part of what being a leader does is to instill confidence is to demonstrate what he or she knows what they are talking about and to communicating to people ... this is how we can fix this," Biden said. "When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed. He said, 'look, here's what happened.'"

After seeing such an astute observation of history, the least I could do was offer to green-light the newest addition to the evening lineup for The History Channel: "Joe Biden's Hour of (Mis)Remembrance".

Featured in the pilot episode:

• "When MacArthur was fighting the Hessians, he didn't sit around twiddling his thumbs. He got out the aircraft carriers and carpet-bombed those suckers."
• "Did Hemingway ever give in to writer's block? No sir. He got up off his duff and wrote The Great Gatsby."
• "When we were dealing with the rise of the modern union, did Bill Gates ever allow the steel workers to strike? I don't think so, mister. You can bet your buttered biscuits that he got out there and broke those strikes with everything he had."
• "Did Martin Luther King, Jr. simply sit around and complain about racial injustice in the American South? No. No, he did not. He went out and wrote the Emancipation Proclamation."
• "When he couldn't communicate to other members of the Holy Roman Empire, did Charlemagne sit down and pout in the corner? No. No, he did not. He went out and invented the printing press."
• "Did Reagan sit around and mope after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Nope. He went out and sent the Apache Helicopters after those rapscallions."
  

Sarah Palin would have made a guest appearance, but she was still trying to answer Charlie Gibson's question about the true nature of "The Bush Doctrine."

Ladies and gentlemen, your 2008 Vice-Presidential Candidates. Feel the excitement!!!
