Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping, into the future...

As far as the Democratic primary elections are concerned, the slippage is accelerating. That revolution seems to be slipping by, faster than ever.

On Tuesday, more slipping is going to take place. Watch your step...that puddle is really icy.

I ain't got time for that now.

There's always a musical quote that applies, isn't there?

That icy puddle is from global warming and can assure people slow down, but soaring high above the lands mindless of those erratically throwing stones into the air in a wasted effort to bring you down ensures completion of the journey just begun....




I am enjoying seeing our democracy tested to ensure its fairness, we should all be enjoying it...

I guess I'll have to take your word for it. I can see why you'd be annoyed, but I'm not sure how it's insensitive or condescending.

It's political commentary, using the lyrics of a popular song to express something. Annoying political commentary is still political commentary.

Most people responded in the spirit of the thing by quoting some other lyrics.

Or you may drive a Cadillac
You may have enough money
To buy anything, ANYTHING you lack
Well- I don`t care how rich you are
I don`t care what you`re worth
'cause you know when it all comes down
You`ve got to go back
You`ve got to go back to
Mother Earth

dammitt!

Have another;
I can't wait forever
Even though you want me to
I can't wait forever
To know if you'll be true
Time won't let me
Time won't let me
Time won't let me wait that long
