6. YES,YES, YES..

I have been listening to this garbage for months that some of these senators and congressmen keep spouting off about. This is some more playing to their stupid base. They really think that this is their issue I saw the Ros Lathan bitch from florida with some more senators last night at it again. I also saw Max Bachus the other day saying this same thing,about not in his state.

They really think we are suppose to be afraid of some terrorists in our jails. If anything we need to be worried about all of the crooks,murderers and pedohiles running the streets of our country everyday. Nobody is safe with people I don't see how this silly ass people think that Bush has kept them safe and that only a republican could be the one to do it.

If they are afraid of putting the detainees in our jails then we should be really afraid with all of the psycopaths we already have in our jails what we should be asking them is " Do they not think our jails are safe? Insane!

8. It's NAZI music. It's great music, but the Republicans are really

asking for trouble by using it. Seriously, along with Wagner, Carl Orff was probably the favorite or one of the favorites of the NAZIs.

Carmina Burana was first staged in Frankfurt by the Frankfurt Opera on June 8, 1937 (Conductor: Bertil Wetzelsberger, Choir Cäcilienchor, staging by Otto Wälterlin and sets and costumes by Ludwig Sievert). Shortly after the greatly successful premiere, Orff wrote the following letter to his publisher, Schott Music:

"Everything I have written to date, and which you have, unfortunately, printed, can be destroyed. With Carmina Burana, my collected works begin."<1>

Several performances were repeated elsewhere in Germany, and although the Nazi bureaucracy was at first nervous about the erotic tone of some of the poems,<2> they eventually embraced it and it became the most famous piece of music composed in Nazi Germany.<3> The popularity of the work continued to rise after the war, and by the 1960s Carmina Burana was well established as part of the international classic repertory.

Alex Ross writes: " the music itself commits no sins simply by being and remaining popular. That 'Carmina Burana' has appeared in hundreds of films and television commercials is proof that it contains no diabolical message, indeed that it contains no message whatsoever."<4>

In retrospect the desire he expressed in the letter to his publisher has by and large been fulfilled: No other composition of his approaches its renown, as evidenced in both pop culture's appropriation of O Fortuna and the classical world's persistent programming and recording of the work. In the United States, Carmina Burana represents one of the few box office certainties in 20th-century music.

Caveat: I love Orff. But, the Republicans should no better than to use Orff in a political ad, since that's what the NAZIs did.
