Neil Young's Articles of Impeachment
Article I
Let's impeach the president for lyin'
Misleading our country into WAR
Abusing all the power that we gave him
And shipping all our money out the door
Who's the man who hired all the criminals
The white house shadows who hide behind closed doors
And bend the facts to fit with their new story
Of why we have to send our men to war
Article II
Let's impeach the president for spyin'
On citizens inside their own homes
Breaking ev'ry law in the country
By tapping our computers and telephones
What if AL QUAEDA blew up the levees,
Would New Orleans have been safer that way?
Sheltered by the government's protection
Or was someone just not home that day?
Article III
Let's impeach the president for hijacking
Our religion and using it to get elected
Dividing our country into colors
And still leaving black people neglected
Thank GOD he's crackin' down on steroids
Since he sold his old baseball team
There's lots of people lookin' at big trouble
But of course the president is clean
Thank God

Skateboard Internment Camp
I'm old enough to have learned to bleed and bruise on clay wheel skateboards, back in the first mass market wave of 1960s sidewalk surfing, a decade before urethane "Cadiallac Wheels" meant skateboarders had to go looking for serious injury rather than it invariably finding them. But I never really caught onto the skateboarding fad: I was a "Vot" not a "Surfer"; wore "loafers" not "sneakers"; bopped to the Beatles, simply loathed the Beach Boys. These days, I see the point even less. There's nothing eXtreme, X-treme, Xtreme, X-Game, or X anything about skateboarding.
