Lynnrockets’ Blast-Off

Here it is. The first post on this blog’s inaugural journey into outer-blogdom. I would like to introduce myself as your navigational pilot as we traverse the limitless, mysterious, confusing and most especially, humorous expanse of the political universe. Please be forewarned that most of the satire, humor and vitriolic content of this blog will be knowingly and purposely aimed and directed at the conservative right-wing members of the Grand Old Party and those members of the media that support them. In other words, if you do not like the thought of the likes of Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal, Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter being barbecued before your eyes, then now is the time to leave and never return. On the other hand, if that is the sort of stuff that tickles your fancy, then put on your tinfoil helmet, strap yourself in and enjoy the flight.

Some of you might recognize my song parodies from the comment sections of other like-minded blogs and even on the comment pages of many national newspaper websites. It was the feedback from those contributions (primarily from themudflats.net) which prompted me to launch this blog. Whenever possible, I will attempt to post a link (audio or video) that will help readers to either reacquaint themselves or familiarize themselves with the actual tune of each song parody. I hope that my contributions will amuse you and I encourage all readers to comment in the same vein (or in a serious manner if that grinds your beans).

Mind you, I’m new at this, so now is the time to abuse the comment board with all kinds of off-topic contributions until I can figure out some reasonable comment posting rules. Please limit the profanity, however, as I would like the blog to appeal to a wide audience. For the time being, comments will be deleted if they do not pass the Lynnrockets Stink Test (to be defined at a later time).

Shall we blast-off?

We all learned this week of Sarah Palin’s lucrative book deal with HarperCollins (owned, not surprisingly by Rupert Murdoch) in which she will counter all those nasty rumors circulated by the “Gotcha Media.” She will finally get the opportunity to put that journalism degree to work. When you consider her memorable interviews with Couric and Gibson, however, odds are that she will require the assistance of a literate ghostwriter. I’m guessing her tome will have the shelf life of O.J. Simpson’s “If I Did It.” On that note, let’s get to our first song…

PAPERBACK WRITER

(sung to the Beatles song “Paperback Writer”)

Paperback writer (paperback writer)

Dear Rush and Coulter, will you read my tome?
It took a year to write in my Wasilla home
It’s based on the life of a political hack
And I take a few shots at old Johnny Mac as a paperback writer,
Paperback writer

A book of topics that I want a say on,
Which I wrote with finger-paints and a crayon.
It was edited by Todd the school drop-out,
He can’t read too well but he wants to be a paperback writer

Paperback writer (paperback writer)

It’s got twenty pages give or take a few,
And it has some pictures that Piper drew.
I threw in an old joke that Bristol once told
It’s a real page turner and I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer

My new book will appeal to those on the right
And everyone that is straight, racist and white.
Bill O’Reilly will love it, please have no fear,
I sure needed a boost and now I can be a paperback writer.
