IN PREPARATION FOR THAT SCHLEPP TO THE SEERSUCKER STORE TODAY...

As Ken points out below, another Seersucker Thursday is almost upon us. It just sort of creeped up when no one was lookin'. Compliments of our pals at PoliticsTV and The Young Turks, here's some music you may find as appropriate as we did to listen to while you're getting ready to brave the heat before going out on this, the last shopping day before Seersucker Thursday, 2007. Share with us-- and the whole nation (minus 28% of insane people)-- a bit of a dream, a dream the whole world is more or less praying for. And, although infinitely better than the Air Canada ad jingle-- or, for that matter, any Celine Dion song-- I have a feeling these particular musicians may be part of the 28% who might prefer a third Bush/Cheney term.

In any case, here's Sweet Home Gore-Obama:



And, along those lines, every day can be Seersucker Thursday with humor like this:

President Bush, First Lady Laura and Dick Cheney were flying on Air Force One. George looked at Laura, chuckled and said, "You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy." Laura shrugged her shoulders and replied, "I could throw ten 100 bills out the window and make ten people very happy." Cheney added, "That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills out of the window and make a hundred people very happy".
Hearing their exchange, the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his co-pilot "Such big-shots back there. I could throw all of them out of the window and make 256 million people very happy."

The pilot underestimates-- by several billion.
