Not featured that we could see: Shadow Rep. Mike Panetta. I was there, but I guess I didn't make the cut. They filmed a shot of me nodding in agreement to the beat, although I wanted to do my Soulja Boy moves. I guess I just have a face for radio :)

Fair enough. Lets take a cue from Indian independence and do the passive resistance thing: go down to Capitol Hill and have a sh!t-in. I'll bring the Taco Bell Chilitos. Join Reid and me for the First Annual "Gut Blowout for Voting Rights" protest. Bring acoustic guitars and lots of toilet paper. All I know is, we've blown up NOTHING and all we get are halfassed rap videos. It's time to buy a rifle and find a clock tower.

The line "I know this is delicate/but I could go to war and all I get is a shadow delegate" is delivered directly to Shadow Sen. Brown, despite the fact that he's not the Shadow Rep. We guess "senator" is hard to rhyme.the look on sen. brown's face there is pretty priceless, though.

did you see the IRA reference at the beginning of the season premiere of the simpsons last night?

Monkey I'm not sure the IRA is the best model. They spent decades blowing crap up and what did they get? Some half-ass version of home rule and a still-partitioned province. Not a lot of buck for the bang, so to speak.

If this was the kind of protest technique they'd used in 1776, we'd still be drinking heavily-taxed tea and talking in thick British accents which, ironically, is EXACTLY WHAT I'M DOING RIGHT NOW, he said sipping his Decaf Lady Grey and sniffing down his monocle at the peons, I say-say. If Ireland has taught us anything, it's that the only way to get independence is by blowing s**t up spectacularly and expensively, forcing the occupying power to the negotiation table. There are any number of Starbucks/cupcakeries/small-plate restaurants downtown which would provide excellent first-strike targets for a war of liberation. Or they could just bring back the stinking corpse of Rappin Rodney.

The line "I know this is delicate/but I could go to war and all I get is a shadow delegate" is delivered directly to Shadow Sen. Brown, despite the fact that he's not the Shadow Rep. We guess "senator" is hard to rhyme. More to the point, we have a completely unshadowed delegate. The problem is that she's not a representative.
