All viewing this in Gen Discussion voted it Greatest Page, but that's few.
So, I share this with the folks at the Lounge; I thought it was a strong political statement, but it is clearly also a song. I hope you enjoy it. I spent time on this one, and that's why I share it here. If no one is interested, well, I was wrong, I guess.

(With apologies to Rodgers & Hammerstein, Julie Andrews and music lovers anywhere. To the tune of "My Favorite Things.")

Bush numbers nose diving, Fitzgerald subpoenas,
Impeachment arriving, Colbert’s bitter teases.
O’Reilly’s falafel, Oxycontin stings,
These are a few of DU’s favorite things.

Missteps by Bill Frist, Duke Cunningham’s capture,
McCain smooches Falwell, just Dems at the Rapture.
Ann Coulter in trouble for bad vote this spring,
These are a few of DU’s favorite things.

Spy guys are busted, Kate Harris disasters,
Gay marriage condemned then they’re caught shortly after.
Heckuva job, Brownie, just wait till Jack sings,
These are a few of DU's favorite things. . .

When the Veep shoots,
When Bush tax cuts,
When the war drives me mad,
I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don’t feeeeeel so bad!

(bonus verse)

FReepers evolving, despite protestations,
Bush fraud recognized by so many more nations,
With courage and insight to high hopes we cling.
These are a few of DU’s favorite things!
