Disclaimer: I do NOT like (and do not make a habit of) submitting more than two songs per day, but breaking news never conforms to my schedule. As of 4 P.M. on August 1, an apparent agreement to raise the U.S. debt ceiling has been reached. Whew! We've been told by Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner that failure to do so would cause unimagined catastrophe. We've been told by President Obama that he "couldn't guarantee" that Social Security checks and military pay would arrive at all. Lesser spokesmen have predicted global economic meltdown, a new Great Depression, and even more horrible consequences. If the agreement falls apart, will certain doom still occur? Well, we'll see. The calculated terrifying of the public, however, was a new low in American politics. ;D

Skeeter Davis, from nearby Grant County Kentucky, revealed her heritage by performing this song. She pronounced the word "end" as "ind" every time. ;D
