ONLY IN AMERICA
sung to the tune of “Only in America” with apologies to Jay Black and the Americans.
Only in America
can a prez from old New York
go to sleep a rich man
and wake up with even more pork?
Only in America
can an heir who’s collecting rent
get a break and maybe grow up to be president?
Only in America,
land of current fury, yeah
would the population fall for
the split government’s false worry?
Only in America
can a man who goes through wives
still emerge a power broker
when his business dives?
Only in America
could an election like this come true,
could propagandists control voters like me and you?
Only in America
land of current fury, yeah
would the population fall for
the split government’s false worry?
Only in America, land of current fury
Only in America, land of current fury
Only in America, only in America…

The Bonus Book of the Week is “An Idiot for All Seasons” by David Feherty, published in 2004.

The author heartily agreed. The author had one other relevant snippet:
“The most popular shows on television are… based on lies, avarice, and deception… the public humiliation of a previously exalted individual…”
