The Lyrics
Kitt-schy (heh heh) OS video here.
‘Bama, Baby, slip a bailout under the tree, for me
Hit the shops in a whirl
‘Bama, Baby
I’m worried: out of money tonight
‘Bama, Baby, I’ve used up Visa™, MasterCard™, too
Boo hoo
And the AmEx™ won’t clear
‘Bama, Baby, I’m at my credit limit tonight!
Think of all the sales I’ll miss
Wouldn't it be hellish if this ... should persist?
Next year I may be ... out of style
And booted off the “Social-List"!
‘Bama, Baby, you know I’ve got to have all these things --
-- I bought
I’ve been trying all year,
‘Bama Baby, to help out every merchant in sight
'Bama, Honey, di'-mond ring, I'm feeling the need
Indeed
Set in platinum fine
‘Bama, Honey, so scurry down with “Benjies” tonight [1]
It’s your duty: to fix my stock portfolio next
(It’s hexed --
-- By the market decline)
Save my booty, and cure my "down" mood; "change" it to "bright" [2]
Come and bring some bliss to me
Just like Goldman's "Sachs" of gold or ... AIG's
Seems ev'ryone ... receives from you
What say, us, too? Aggrieved, are we
'Bama, Baby, I've got to mention one little thing:
Right wing
"Tax? Obscene!" they will groan
'Bama, Baby, so hurry with your Socialist blight
Scurry down with *our* share tonight!
Wrong? It's ... our right!
[1] "Benjies" -- short for “Benjamins”, urban slang for 0 bills, which bear the portrait of Benjamin Franklin, one of the US's Founding Fathers. Although never a POTUS, Franklin contributed to, and signed, the US Declaration of Independence.
[2] Now, *that* would be "change we could believe in"! :-)

555 - here comes Bama Claus, right down Bama Claus lane, trying to give away more taxpayer money that isn't there.
Peace on Eartha and more stimulus to friends! ;D
Wish he would send some stimulis my way!
LOL!!!
From the title, I thought that this would be about the Crimson Tide.
I would like Odumba to leave me a bailout along the lines of those given to AIG or Wachovia, under the premise that "Andria Kilgore" is the same kind of thing as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, that is, a financial institution with a person's name, and not an increasingly eccentric parody author with no connection to the federal government except for paying taxes and having a Social Security card. Anyhoo, great parody of an OS that I hate, and 5s.
I think he has that mess in the Middle East to take care of. (Oh, oh! I ended a sentence with a preposition.)
Hope I get a bailout in my stocking!
Incredible work. Good contrast of the OS's lyrics. 555
Thanks all!
T1K: LOL @ 'Bama Claus! [Civics Lesson #1: The Government does *not* produce wealth.]
OMR: Stimulating thanks to you!
M Scotti: And why not, I say? If everyone *else* is getting a piece of the American pie... ;)
Steve K: Ha! Didn't think of that, although now that you mention it, Nick Saban *is* a pretty big baby from time to time.
Andria: Well, come on along, then. We can hold each other's place in line. :)
2Eagle: Just imagine what you could have been, had you only been able to take advantage of the President's proposed education reforms! ;)
BJ21: You and me both!
Jonathan S: Thanks for v/c! :)

@ FG @ T1K: Someone's been hanging around the "Chicago School" of free markeTT/LiberTTarian economics. methinks. :) A++ :-D (thanks T1k -- well said!)
Old Man Ribber: I keep asking -- nay, begging -- FG for a little more stimulation -- but all I get is intellectual and comedic ... well, that'll do (for now). ;) Thanks OMR!
Mark Scotti: Thanks, and have a parody inspiration in return, with my compliments: Frank Sinatra: "And send it ... My Way". ")
@ FG @ M. Scotti: Oh, great. I can see where *this* weekend is headed: "American Pie (Obama Version)". great concept, but a "little" bit of work. Send me the first 7 verse/refrains and I'll do the end and echo. (muah! ;-)
Steve K.: Actually thought of that myself, but figured they were less in the news than the other, so hoped no confusion. ... On second thought, it IS about the Crimson Tide of Red Ink in the Federal Budget! "-) Thanks Steve! BR>
Andria: But you're still a lot more sensible than Fannie or Freddie have been -- under pressure from Congress and both parties' Administrations for the past fifteen years. Thanks!
2Eagle: And Afghanistan to send all those soldiers to, and to spend all that money on! (Thanks!)
blackjack21: Unfortunately, the House is busted. (And so is the Senate, and the White House, and the taxpayers.....) thanks!
Jonathan S: Thanks -- even funnier if you watch E. Kitt's very "sultry" video, apparently with nothing on but her fur and her YouTube. :-)

Andrea, Wachovia did not get a bailout. Instead, they were bought out by Wells Fargo.
Apparently, I must not have been listening while watching CNN. I forgot. And btw, misspelling my name doesn't get you very far with me.
Phil Alexander: 8=)
Steve Kalafut (did I spell that right?) and Andria: The usually-stern Prof. Turtle let that slip slide (heh heh -- slip-slidin' away..... anyone wanna run with that?), preferring not to look a gift 5 in the mouth. (FG wouldn't like me looking too closely at Andria's mouth, anyway, nudge wink).
However, Steve is correct. But with all of the bank mergers/buyouts/bailouts, it *is* rather hard to tell the players without a scorecard. :-)

TT, I know you are in love with me, regardless of what Fiddlegirl thinks about it, but I would rather not get kissed by a turtle, considering that they have sharp beaks instead of lips, and carry such diseases as Salmonella and Giardia. LOL at your comment, btw.
But they can hold their breath and go down for several hours at a time.... ;-)
(and humans don't carry far worse diseases? .. thanks for lol :)

This non-polemic politically provocative parodic gem deserves a vote of at least 700 billion... will you take these three fivers as a subprime DP with a balloon payment for the balance in 2012 (Heh, my Mayan buddies tell me I'll never have to pay up!)
And LOL the TT-to-Andria quip!
And LOL the TT-to-Andria quip!
TJC: Thanks, but if General Motors gets cash (and the recent news is that we taxpayers lost $30 billion on our "investment" there), *we* want cash. :) But from you, (such a deal!) we'll take the Fives and the as-alliterative-and-appreciative-as-always a-cumen-t., alongside addition anent Andria! :-)
"The United States just passed a dubious milestone: Government debt surged to an all-time high, more than $14 trillion. ... Today's debt level represents a $45,300 tab for each and everyone in the country."
THE BLAME GAME::
"It soared from $7.6 trillion in January 2005 as President George W. Bush began his second term to $10.6 trillion the day Obama was inaugurated and to $14.02 trillion now. "
THE MATH GAME:
GWB 2nd term: Jan. 20, 2005 - Jan. 20, 209 = increase of $3 trillion, or $750 billion/year.
Obama inaugurated Jan. 20, 2009 (with Democratic supermajority in Congress) - today, Jan. 15, 2011 = increase of $3.6 trillion in a little less than two years, or $1.8 trillion/year, a 140% increase in the annual rate of growth of the debt. "Change is all you can be leave in" your pocket, 'cuz the dollars are running out.
THE FUTURE:
"With a $1.7 trillion deficit in budget year 2010 alone, and the government on track to spend $1.3 trillion more this year than it takes in, annual budget deficits are adding roughly $4 billion a day to the national debt. Put another way, the government is borrowing 41 cents for every dollar it spends."
Excessive borrowing to buy houses led to the crash of the housing market. What will happen when excessive borrowing leads to the crash of the Government?
Maybe something better will take its place. - TT.
