like the devil, the left has the best tunes.

On Tuesday, exactly a decade from the start of the Iraq war, Donald Rumsfeld, the former defence secretary of George W. Bush, hit the social media.
"10 yrs ago began the long, difficult work of liberating 25 mil Iraqis,'' he tweeted. "All who played a role in history deserve our respect & appreciation."
The response was swift and ugly. "Except you & your bosses, you blood-gargling psychopath," retorted a young man in New York. It went downhill from there.

The conservatives' tragedy is that they've never had anyone to sing for them. Bob Dylan would have disappeared without trace if he'd written ''The Times They Aint A-Changin'''. Jimmy Barnes never thought of doing Middle Class Man.
The revolution lives on in Bruce Springsteen, troubadour of love and hard times, poet laureate to Barack Obama. His concert at Homebush on Wednesday was astounding, the greatest I have seen - 3½ hours of musical genius emitting enough energy to power an aluminium smelter. I was staggered when he dived into the audience and then crowd-surfed back to the stage, borne aloft by a hundred ecstatic fans.
You've still got it, Boss, still got it. No retreat, baby, no surrender
