The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day

The Proclaimers, "Free Market" from Notes & Rhymes (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary: There are few creatures more onerous than those who are willing to play the game as long as they are winning, but cry foul the moment things stop going their way, even as everyone else continues to play by the same rules they all once endorsed. I remain firmly opposed to the Wall Street bailouts of 2008-2009, to those who favor government to keep its distance as long as they are winning but cry for government to save them as soon as the chickens come home to roost. Have the courage of your convictions or have the honesty to admit that you were wrong & change your position wholesale; ye cannae have it both ways.
"You thought that history was dead.
Well, it just whacked you on the head.
It took your money and your right,
It's coming back to take your pride…"
