A Flight Of Fancy?

I read this news story about the latest development with Ron Paul, and all I could think of was this lyrical weirdness from Captain Beefheart (hey, it’s just how my mind works, y’know?). So, here’s a parody for the occasion, with an assist from this information (and I know at least one person who isn’t going to be happy about this)…

Master master
This is the thing that flies
It’s gonna make Ron Paul phat
Just stay away from other aircraft, just swerve
Or Ron will wipe it out like the Federal Reserve
It’s the blimp, It’s the blimp!

Get us coverage from the “media cheats”
Right under the noses of the world’s elites
Listen for the cheering, if you can
From “Constitutionalists,” the Freedmen and The Klan
Nothing but hoots and applause
As Paul keeps calling to abolish the Commerce Clause
And oh, the mother ship looks divinah!
Trapped over the airspace of Carolina
What a shame we didn’t set up our LLC
In time for the blimp to make the “Boston Tea Party”
‘Cos who’s the one “traditional” Repugs adore
Who wants to abolish the gold standard and end the war
Ron Paul – and how high does he soar?
Just watch the blimp, it’s the blimp!

Oh blimp, ascend – let’s hope for no rain
And watch from on high as Ron outpolls John McCain
Witness the “mainstream media” hate us
While we pretend we know nothing about Posse Comitatus
To decertify the unions, Ron is achin’
That’s why he tried to repeal Davis-Bacon
Watch OSHA and minimum wage law grow limp
Rise up into the air and slowly vanish, like the blimp!
Deny a third-party run again and again
And make John Bolton look moderate versus the U.N.
And don’t even dare calling Ron a kook
Why, that just won’t hold water, according to David Duke
Too far into Ron’s policies, just make sure you don’t delve
The man wants to get down and party like it’s 1912
So who’s the candidate we honor with this bash?
Our P.R. stunt that we hope and pray won’t crash?
Ron! And how are we going to raise more cash?
With The Blimp! With The Blimp!

Hey, I didn’t say it was a good parody…

And here is another attempt at seasonal humor, by the way.

Update 12/26/07: That 95 percent claim officially puts Paul in full mooner territory as far as I'm concerned (here).
