I have lyrics so I get to talk about current events.
Ex-senator Chris Dodd (now MPAA honcho) got himself in hot water by being
a bit too blunt on Faux News... now there is a petition at whitehouse.gov
called "Investigate Chris Dodd and the MPAA for bribery after he publicly
admited to bribing politicans to pass legislation." The petition now has
26,000+ signers which is above the 25,000 threshold where the White House
promises to 'respond'.
Harold Feld's commentaries on PIPA/SOPA vs. Wikipedia/Google/Internet/Dog
are at http://tales-of-the-sausage-factory.wetmachine.com - worth a read.
What better way to celebrate Chris Dodd's troubles than a wee bit of
piracy (RIAA's view) and/or fair use (my view)?
Chris Dodd's Lament
(may be sung to "Somewhere over the rainbow")
SOPA, where did my bill go? Seemed to die.
Where's the plans that I had? [All at] once they have gone awry.
SOPA, checks I could bestow, votes come through
Google screamed and my careful schemes all became untrue
I got on Fox and made a threat
How Congressmen I hold in debt should mind me.
My troubles mount, now some folks state
The White House should investigate!
That's so unkindly...
SOPA, under embargo, sad to say.
Phone calls from near and far, go
"Make SOPA go away."
Mean voters made sweet SOPA fly
We'll just rename her... [on the sly]
[and] By and by... retry.

Nicely done!
Citizen Dodd has forgotten that as with many naughty people, his name
scans to "Greensleeves."
