Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, "Ain't No Sunshine" from …Take a Break (T.L.A.M.)
Commentary: Whilst in the majority of instances I am not personally fond of sunshine, i.e., the death rays of the Accursed Sun, I well understand the metaphor.
"Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
Only darkness every day…"
I should scarce mention the Gimme Gimmes without mentioning mine own tradition linked to them, specifically the pledge many years ago that should I ever see a girl wearing a short skirt & a Me First and the Gimme Gimmes T-shirt & drinking a Jones Soda, I would propose marriage to her on the spot, & til death do us part if she acceded.
"A short skirt,
A Gimmes shirt,
A Jones Soda,
Ain't life grand?"
Political commentary returns Monday, 21 January—Inauguration Day, though President Obama's second & final term will begin with a private oath-taking on Sunday, 20 January. The "Vote for Kodos" title has been retired for reasons we shall explain alongside the reasons for political commentary's new title, to be revealed on the day. (Yes, I know this is inside baseball, & of no consequence to anyone beyond your humble narrator, but your humble narrator is the inmate in charge of this asylum & shall thus run things as he sees fit.) "Obamboozled" shall continue because the bamboozling continues.
